I did though. Like, do you need me to make a fourth discord account now? Are you using a reputable email provider?

Wgat are you talking about? I've used Discord from Tor and VPNs before. Also, putting children at risk is like, the most popular use case of Discord. I woild be very surprised if they require IDs.

Nah man. Nothing wrong with amassing some riches.

I spend BTC all the time (after conversion to #monero obviously), doesn't matter if the supply is fixed.

You're fixated (heh) on one thing, while ignoring that there are a lot other variables.

It's also not black and white, all or nothing. You can spend a bit. You can spend & replace the sats by buying more. You can set budgets. etc

I'm talking about the game theory of the thing. I'm well aware of that there are individuals that spend, obviously I spend it too. The point still stands.

I have been able to have a reasonable conversation with you, but the same cannot be said for others. Besides putting aside the debate, as I have already said, it is stupid to fight among ourselves whe...

There's a lot of cool Monero people out there, most are not like that. It's the same for Bitcoiners and basically everything else.

And yes, it's important to keep in mind what really matters (about those matters) - and it's not bitcoin vs monero, it's bitcoin + monero.

By the way, criticize Monero all you want. As long as it's coming from a constructive place, it can be useful too. Lack of constructive criticism breeds complacency.

The more we put self-assured useful idiots in their place, the more we can make the atmosphere reasonable.

The problem is that you don't convince anyone with that attitude.

Having misguided ideas and being a misguided person are two wildly different things - one is flexible and changeable, the other is not.

You have to assume - my opinion, anyway - that you can help them see something they are not seeing (and be humble enough to realize it can happen to you too), and the way you do that is not by calling them idiots. It might be satisfying to your ego, but it will only make them dig deeper into theirs.

I am more of the sense that everyone should be trying their best to keep their egos out of it. Ego only distorts, and it's a very low vibration to be in, anyway.

As I said man, I generally enjoy your posts. But in this I think you go too far. Please think about it.
