@rottenwheel XMR is the only fair-valued crypto. This is because it is the only one being actively used as currency, not as a Beanie Baby speculative scheme

@rattie_ok All we can do is keep Monero honest. It is the only crypto actually being used as currency
@rattie_ok @Saki The goal is a "Peer-to-peer electronic cash system". If and to the degree that such is realized, this goal has society-changing ramifications. It is money that plays by Internet consensus rules, not by coercive governmental ones.
Realizing this goal requires many design choices.
When faced with its (rather obvious) scaling problem, BTC chose not to change its design but rather to rebrand as "store of value" instead of "electronic cash".
That was the death of honest crypto.
@Saki @moneromaxi I’ve been casually watching the commits. I would expect scammers to do less actual code work than that.
“Why?”
Because it’s cool AF to make Things

@mister_monster @snitchy_asc I had the same skepticism about monotonically increasing blockchain sizes.
I wish I had looked at storage and bandwidth curves a lot earlier.
Long term storage size is no longer a concern I worry about.
