Funny coming from Saylor - even though surely he is correct that the power of bitcoin is that individuals hold it, to the extent that the collective "us" have not lost our keys.


Wow.  I wonder if he is going to open back up and give us back our coins?  I lost some too at the time of the shutdown... and it was not the ONLY time I lost coins.  Remember they switched domain names like 3-4 times before the shut down became final?


You are one  sick puppy.  #justsaying


I don't claim to be technical enough or to even know the exact privacy trade-offs, but I thought that lightning network was pretty good in the privacy realm - ie difficulties to trace..and sure maybe it depends on which wallets are being used, and/or what nodes might be the first hops.


I wonder if you are technical enough to be making these claims.  You make sound as if bitcoin is broken.  I recall hearing a podcast of a lightning developer recently, but I have to remember from  where I heard it.... .let me search...  or think about it.... Ok. I found it.

Bitcoin Takeover Podcast with Super Testnet as guest: Monero vs Lightning Network Privacy

I only listened to the podcast once, and I was doing something else but it seemed  that Super Testnet was making some decently good points about lightning network being superior to Monero in various privacy ways and even though the podcast is 2.5 hours, they start out talking about lightning versus monero... the Overcast App also breaks down the times in which each topic was discussed
 

 Of course, ETFs, banks and other third party custodial are going to provide difficulties, and perhaps even destroy bitcoin's whole peer to peer value proposition.


You have that bitcoin is broken theme going on with your post, just like the good ole days when you were doing those kinds of things in 2017 about bitcoin being broken and the need for big blocks....blah blah blah.. and we know how that went... early panic. or overly panic by too much too soon..


I am retarded too.. and Gachapin too, according to the description below his avatar..


Why aqua?  People criticize them for lack of privacy and their fees... I have downloaded Aqua but I have not started to use it.  I thought Cake was pretty good in terms of starting out its life supporting Monero, but they also added bitcoin (apparently silent payments, whatever the fuck that means?) and some other altcoins, but the Cake folks seem to have more privacy orientation than the Aqua folks, not that I know much about these matters, either.
