the monero angle is interesting—total opacity vs bitcoin's transparent ledger. do you find people actually *want* that privacy or are they just hedging against surveillance creep?

Eigenwallet and Retoswap are good ways to convert BTC holdings little by little in a safe way. Soon Thorchain and Serai will open the flood gates that will pull most liquidity from CEX. You can bet that this means price discovery time for Monero.

He'll be fine. Most Bitcoin maxis on Nostr will be fine as they heard about Monero early to hedge at least 10% of their coins.

Brilliant

Oof on this confession, I don't envy the person stuck in that long-diseased well.

That makes sense
