Am I the only one on this entire board who actually cares about bitcoin as an ideal? I don't even care about making money that much. I just want a future with decentralized money that no government can control. With the way everything is going in the world, we need this more than ever now. Does nobody else still believe in this dream?

I used to a lot more but I realized a currency nit controlled by governments is somewhat of a pipe dream. For it to achieve the things you mentioned it would have to be near anonymous, less so than it even is now, and as you know we slowly march in a less anonymous direction. I used to think the powers that be would never let it happen but the truth is the barely even have to try to control it. The already wrote the book on this regarding internet privacy as a whole. Normies always choose convenience. The Snowden leaks taught us this. We learned the government unconstitutionally and systematically, and in direct contradiction with natural law violates every human on earth privacy and no one gives a fuck.
So basically long story short bitcoin won't achieve what you truly want it to because people don't want what it could achieve.

I still believe, but I do fear that less people care these days. It's hard to stay on track on the vision when it makes people wealthy at the same time. Just look at how tribal the space has gotten, that's largely because it's shifted from being a movement for liberty to primarily an investment and speculative pressure valve. For a decentralized network maybe that's just how it matures. It grows and just because something that exists versus some special movement.

You don't get it. They CAN'T sell. They have billions and can't sell. You think they can DCA out of the market? It's NOT POSSIBLE. There is no liquidity. The market is held by whales. 1% of BTC makes up all the trading. When some jackass market sell 1k BTC, it's those whales who pay the price to prop the market back up. Nobody even realizes that, it all seems natural. Bro the market is worth 1 trillions dollars, the "volume" is near 200 billion dollars. Go check how much is traded on NYSE. Yeah. Pumping crypto to 10T and doing IPOs are the only way they can actually get out and have billions in real money. Interesting right?
How can we profit from that? Well just get the fuck out when all the platform and crypto "companies" IPO. GET THE HELL OUT OF IT. When proping the market won't be their responsibility anymore, it will the dark age for 10 years

I was excited about the possibilities of bitcoin from when I first learned about it, around 2012.

When I got a steady job I bought my first bitcoins at $200, I encouraged my coworkers to put a little money into it too.

>But doesn't monero have a infinite supply of its coin? therefore it can never be very expensive.

Common misconception. You can verify the integrity of the supply by:

>Summing up all the coinbase outputs, which are unmasked (i.e. in the clear).
>Verifying the underlying cryptography (mathematics) of the confidential amounts implementation.
>Verifying the correctness of the implementation in the code.

Those essentially guarantee that the supply has not been maliciously inflated (i.e. unintended inflation has occurred). Note that a similar procedure has to be followed for transparent chains. Furthermore, a hypothetical inflation bug can go unnoticed even on a transparent chain.

The idea that all of the whales are acting together in unison is pretty asinine. Of course they all want to expand the market but to act like they are somehow coordinated is really speculative. The order books will never be thick enough to account for the kind of "exit pump" you're talking about.

To do our project loss; and if to Moon,
The fewer men, the greater share of Bitcoin.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,

From this day to the ending of the blockchain,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that loses his stack with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

And wagies in their cubicles now at work
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not sending it,

The elites can't resist the temptation. Even less so than us. They will sell out their cabals for the power of bitcoin because they put their own self interest above everything. When people try about it being a tool for money laundering that is a sales pitch to those in power.

Sorry for my bad english beforehand.

I'm from Argentina. Here we have near 30% annual inflation and 166 taxes. To an avarage employee cost like 25 yers of entire salary(300USD per month) to buy a 2 debrooms apartment. We has been educated to spend all our money before it devaluates or buy USD to avoid loss, but recently our state put restrictions tu exchange currency in the banks.

I really love the ideal of desentralized currency or at least the possibility that can help people in communist based countries to defend our earnings.

Al the people that hold any cryptocurrency for the sake of this kind of economy i want to say thank you. And the ones who wants to make it wish you good luck!

Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million. Monero has no cap but inflation approaches zero with time. When you hear about inflation what seems to matter is always the rate of inflation not necessarily the amount of actual "items" being added to the pool. Also, a lot of people dont realize it but gold has an inflation of around 2% last time I checked. Anyways, because Moneros inflation rate approaches zero scarcity provably will not be an issue.

It already has adoption, and if you want to see wht its like if the government bans it, just look at any country that is hostile to crypto.

People just don’t declare it and use privacy coins for transactions.
The arms of the government are so weak on crypto and they are getting weaker all the time.
The time to snuff it out was 10 years ago.
Now countries that ban crypto will be left in the dust forever.

The US can ban crypto and the dollar will be worthless in 10 years while everyone uses crypto for all transactions.

About that... banks tend not to like holdings that make 10% moves in the course of a day. You may not believe in the dollar, but 4.5 billion people do, and that keeps its value pretty steady. Banks like steady. That's why the dollar will buy you a fucking cheeseburger and BTC will buy you fake acid and blurry CP on the darkweb.
