Giving Bitcoin the 2.5d parallax effect
February 8, 2024 at 3:50 AM
A question:

When you look at the darknet marketplace volume, ransomware post-mortems, shadow journalists, and crypto money laundering, they're dominated by bitcoin. Why didn't XMR (Monero) ever capture any significant share of it? Why is BTC's privacy good enough for those needing it most?

Meh, a logical fallacy, appeal to authority, and shoddy post structure. Three strikes.

Bitcoin's price didn't go to zero after all? It's catching attention again, because guess who's back... They love their crisis narratives, hate their nuance, don't understand energy markets, renewables, contracts, and have no intent to. Ideologues, happy to march in step parroting misinformation:

Anyone voting for "pro-crypto" candidates (🙄) as a one-issue litmus has blind spots, doesn't understand bitcoin, and is interested in only NgU. And as ideologues, they underestimate how both friction and disruption affect commodity money. Trump:

Satoshi's Namecoin vision wasn't about paying merchants by sending btc, it was about wresting control from ICANN and adding POW to domain registry, opening up many things.

ENSdomains: 🗑️. Go build a browser that competes w/ Chrome. Godaddy online pay links: 🙄. Fading the faux web 3 innovation here.

If your argument’s well bottoms with:

—IMPENDING DOOM
—MASS CASUALTY EVENTS
—EXTINCTION

You’re a crisis narrative peddler, demagogue, and ideologue. What u say on a subject (informed by these doomsaying notions) shouldn't be valued—becuz it isn’t objective. A list of topics attracting this thing:

We have arabs claiming nostalgic racism, jews claiming nostalgic antisemitism, immigrants of all walks claiming bias while whites claim great replacement, asians claiming affirmative action bias... all just a big blob of liars fighting over where resources go tryna fast track it with Munchausen's.

Essential to survival... That's not an argument, that's ideology. We could take a walk through your local shopping district and have a hard time finding much that qualifies as such. Not burning fossil fuels is essential to human survival... What do you imagine would happen if that stopped tomorrow?

Do bloodlines still determine who you are in that region? What do you imagine my chances of getting out of Mecca alive would be if I spit on "the" grave? What about my chances doing the same to the Sistine Chapel altar? How many homosexuals were beheaded in '23? Where? Find urself a pair of scissors
