Me too. If you love privacy, decentralization, and the idea of true censorship resistant digital cash, you’ll love Monero!
Unless you’re already into it, in which case you already know it’s the hotness.
If you read the Bitcoin whitepaper, and what Satoshi and the other cypherpunks at the dawn of all that, then you’ll realize XMR is fulfilling those promises infinitely better than BTC does. I still like BTC, so not shitting in it, but outside of adoption and network effect (so thus security with more eyes on the project and more miners securing the network), I find Monero to be superior in every way as an actual currency and not some type of “digital gold” as BTC has been perverted into over the years in contravention of its stated purpose post 2008 financial crisis.
Oh yeah - already there on all of that. Been turned off from BTC since the 2017 hardfork. I continue to believe an effective, cheap, and transparent settlement layer is a must if we ever are to separate money and state.
To speak more to commonality, I feel BCH XMR and GME have all undergone similar sidelining from establishment thought and media.
You’re on top of it Chives! Rock on. I agree about those synergies and the general ethos of the movements and communities.
The ETH/ETC hard fork chain rollback was a canary in the coal mine too for centralization and transparent chains, amongst many others with rise of the big public exchanges and so forth.
Edit: to parallel a bit more, what happened over the life of Superstonk has some similarities to the Blockstream takeover and corruption of many of the core devs on BTC pre block size debate ultimately leading to the fork, just like SS splintered.
I definitely feel the same as what you express in your edit. I was around and involved through both events and the parallels are numerous and stark. I’m hopeful that the natural co-mingling of independent communities on the Fediverse can be a somewhat natural foil. Only time will tell - more people learn about this alternative by the day.
