My disappointment arises from the fact that I have high expectations from Bitcoiners (unless they pretend to be Bitcoiners and in reality they're undercover feds)... they should not be so gullible.

There are plenty of people on this forum who cheer regulation since it means bitcoin "is going mainstream", who cheer KYC since it means bitcoin "will be safer to use", and who cheer governmental control because "institutions will make the price moon". Those same people will be quite happy with CBDCs. After all, the government only want to protect the children, right!? Roll Eyes

Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 12 kh/s, 120 W, $350 you get 1kh/s for 10W and 1 kh/s for $20
X5, 212 kh/S, 1350W, at $3000, you get 1 kh/s for 6W and 1kh/s for $14

Exactly. So this Monero "ASIC" is barely better than a CPU, which is exactly what is supposed to happen. ASICs on bitcoin are many orders of magnitude more efficient than CPU/GPU mining.

I said that most of them (meaning creadit card users) think the money on a bank card are real cash converted to bank balance. I never said that I'm one of these people.

You also said people aren't the sheep we think they are. But then you said they all use credit cards not understanding the money is not real (which I agree with), and they will all use CBDCs because they are convenient (which I also agree with). But surely just going along with what the banks tell you to do (use credit cards, use CBDCs) is exactly what the sheep would do? Wink
