@schmidt1024 Cash is still criminals favorite form of anonymity…in 2025 alone approximately 2-3 trillion of illicit funds were done in cash vs. the 158 billion done by the cryptocurrency sector as a whole in general.

Facts.

[Sebastian @sebp888]

Using Monero is quiet civil disobedience in a world that spies by default, a simple act that says your financial life belongs to you and no one else. 🔒

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

I have BEEN saying this. If it goes down the the tech - all privacy coins come AFTER Monero. Facts over feelings.

[Randy @MoneroKaiser]

zcash is the coin regulators can live with

Monero is the one that actually threatens the surveillance model

choose wisely

How many fans need to complain ABOUT UNTENABLE REFFING before the @NBA takes it seriously? Its not just the players, its the people who pay for jerseys, tickets and sports package who are complaining. LISTEN and do something about it or lose money.

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

Who did the scheduling for the @WNBA? No games today when there is no @NBA games? Like fr there was a void to be filled today and it was completely missed…

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

So many people fail to understand this. When presented with it, they usually go silent rather than accept that this is it. #StackSats

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

Most people think money is “real” like gravity or oxygen.

It isn’t.

Without humans, gold is just metal.
Bitcoin is dormant code.
Dollars are worthless paper.

Money only exists because humans collectively agree something can store value and coordinate trade.

That’s it.
That’s the entire game.

Gold won for centuries because it had the best monetary properties.
Bitcoin improves on those properties for a digital civilization.

The history of money is the history of humans upgrading coordination technology.

And Bitcoin may be the biggest upgrade yet.

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

Enough people don’t understand this. #Bitcoiners do though.

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

Gold didn’t fail because it was bad money.
It failed because humans centralized it, corrupted it, and abandoned it the moment it got in the way of endless spending.
Bitcoin is gold rebuilt for the digital age:
scarce, portable, verifiable, and harder to capture.

"Bitcoin is a Ponzi"

Have you checked the dollar?

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

This is what a REAL economist sounds like. If you are getting advice from Ben McKenzie then you not ready for a real conversation…

[Saifedean Ammous @saifedean]

I make the case for Bitcoin as apolar money, the only workable alternative to a government global reserve currency and a unipolar world order, and explain how geopolitical developments underscore this role.

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

That part!

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

Normie logic: Bitcoin has no practical use.
Really?

Bitcoin settles billions in transactions daily—globally—without a bank, a wire fee, a three-day ACH hold, or a compliance officer.

You can send $50,000 in Bitcoin to someone in Lagos or Lisbon at 2 a.m. on a Sunday in under ten minutes for less than a dollar. Try that with your gold bar or silver coins.

Bitcoin is the first asset in history that cannot be inflated, seized, or frozen.

To me, this is obviously a practical use case.

[Danielle Bates @dee_bates]

Every time I see a post with Ben McKenzie talking about Bitcoin, I report it for false information. Stay safe and #StackSats

Value is not a physical thing

To all the people who think bitcoin can’t have value because it’s not tangible...

Tangible assets constitute the following percentage of the Mag7 market caps:

Nvidia: 0.66%
Apple: 1.38%
Tesla: 4.06%
Microsoft: 7.29%
Alphabet: 8.39%
Meta: 9.56%
Amazon: 16.28%
Combined weighted average: 5.79%

If you liquidated all of these companies’ physical assets, they wouldn’t amount to 6% of their valuation. There have been days in which the market caps of these companies have moved by more than the total value of their physical assets.

If 94% of the value of the most valuable companies on earth is non-physical, then value does not have to be physical.

If digital things have no value, then you should have no problem with giving me your computer to erase all the data from it. I will return your computer to you in the same exact physical form. I will just press a few buttons that remove all your data, photos, and contacts, and make it impossible for you to restore them. If value can only be tangible, then all of these digital things have no value, and you shouldn’t mind me deleting them as long as the devices return in their original state. I don’t think you would.

Technology, data, business knowledge, customer base, brands, and so much more are non-physical assets whose value likely exceeds that of all the planet’s physical objects and land. This is something most people understand in their daily lives, but because most people have no understanding of money, they do not understand how it applies to money, too.

Most people think their money is physical, but in reality, most fiat currencies today are 90%+ digital, and usually less than 10% of the supply is physical paper money. There are no stacks of dollars in your bank sitting in a box under your name, available for you to pick up at any time. A tiny fraction of the money is physical, and the rest is digital, manufactured in various quantities by your bank, government, central bank, and other pedophiles, in quantities based on pure vibes. People still give this non-physical fiat money value because it is the only money they can use with a bank account, since governments only license banks that use their local fiat shitcoin. There is no need for the money to be physical to work; digital fiat money works as well as physical fiat money; or as badly.

Bitcoin is an entirely digital money, but it is given value for far more intelligent and peaceful reasons than fiat money. You can read more about that in my books The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard, which you can buy from Amazon or https://t.co/Va3iL87Ups.

A common objection to bitcoin’s value is: “But if people stop believing in the value of bitcoin it can lose all value.” But that is true of everything. If people stop believing in the value of gold, it would lose value and just become another worthless rock. If people stop believing in the value of electronic devices then Apple and Nvidia go to zero. If people stop believing in the value of Manhattan, then all Manhattan real estate goes to zero. If people discover that tomatoes are poisonous, they stop believing in the value of tomatoes, and the entire planet’s tomato industry goes to zero. Just because something is physical does not guarantee its value, as we can see from the infinite amount of sand and rocks on our Earth left completely untouched by human hands. Physical things can be valueless and non-physical things can have value. Value and physicality are two independent things that are orthogonal to each other. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are unable to benefit from the world’s most advanced money and best saving technology because you are unable to see that value can be non-physical in this one instance, when you have no problem seeing it elsewhere.

Stack Sats, Pay with Sats. Adoption is coming faster than you think.

[Bitcoin Magazine @BitcoinMagazine]

JUST IN: Today, millions of Square merchants "will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled." 👀

Adoption! 🚀
