I've always been a bitcoin and Monero bull but have always thought of BTC as being the store of value for the ngu tech but it seems like we may be hitting a point where the tweeters are realizing Moneros value and we may see the value proposition sooner rather than later.

IOW I think the next few months are critical. Wink

Could not agree more with this.

Hard to say if it happens or not. But as a Bitcoin maxi who saw Monero as singularly unique this is the exact moment I have been waiting to see for 6 years. Or at least it looks like the beginning of that. Where Monero might decouple and run because of it's unique value prop.

There was a reason that between 2014-2016 THIS topic was one of the most active threads on this whole place. And that reason was driven by the fact that a great deal of Bitcoinners saw what we saw. That this alt coin was kind of special.

I concede that it was a alt romance like most any of them... A narrative that challenges BTC, or offers something seemingly of value. But I hold TO THIS DAY that this narrative has only gotten stronger over the time while the others have paled. ETH? Is already collapsing under it's own weight. It will be around forever probably, a playground at the edges where good ideas are worked out, and then pinned to BTC.

But there is no way for Bitcoin to do what Monero does yet. And it will take YEARS for Bitcoin to catch up in this regard.

The same thing that lit this alt up back in those early days for US is going to happen with the masses too. The herd is HERE for Bitcoin... but most of it is yet to come for Montango.

@Caps..Hope your weathering the coof reasonably, being vaxed helped me alot imo. <<<--- not gonna post this in wo as don't need to hear the insane asylum lose their shit.

Ha! Thanks man, yes. Just a bad sore throat, and feeling pitiful having to isolate from my wife. Wink

I was "double vaxxed" But it's been a good amount of time now... First was in Feb 20 and the second ~ May or so?

Can't say whether my experience would have been better or worse another way. Too subjective I guess. But i *HAVE* avoided the damn thing since at least 3/2020. From what I have read, and come to understand this may be the best of all worlds... Hopefully my immunity will be as strong as it can be after this. I tend to see this whole circus with a great deal of nuance. Which I feel is horribly missing from most folks who pick a side and reinforce their bases to for their story.

And it is sad that the WO has gotten so out of hand. It's like all of us having to have a decent conversation of the insane babbling of a few people lol.
