I don't think adding any on-chain addresses is conducive to an open society.

The lightning network offers privacy. An XMR address, Bitcoin address, stablecoin address, etc. is not private in my opinion.

You could use liquid to hide your stablecoin balance and I'm not claiming that anyone can track monero.

An XMR address signals that you accept monero.

A stable coin address signals that you accept stable coins.

A lightning address is like an email address.

You can theoretically accept monero with a lightning address.

You can use https://breez.technology/glow to accept stable coins.

The difference is nobody needs to know you're a USD stablecoin maxi if your zaps get atomically swapped to electronic fiat.

Adding on chain addresses signals that you accept monero or whatever. That causes tribalism, mystical thinking, arguing, and a closed society.

You raise fair points on privacy tradeoffs, but stablecoin adoption isn’t just about anonymity—it’s about compliance too. The new MiCA rules in Europe, for example, will force issuers to verify identities for large transactions, blurring the "private stablecoin" idea. https://theboard.world...

They all say "This person accepts X" A Monero address on Nostr is actually more private because zaps are public and at least potentially mean you got zapped for X amount by Y user. Monero tips ar...
