Keep using the same tactic, I'm not going to buy your shitcoin, go convince someone else.

I'm not going to argue with you about Monero because I'm not interested. For me, Monero is inferior to Bitcoin in every way, and I help Bitcoin users maintain their privacy. If Monero is better for you, then use it, but don't try to convince me. I don't do that. I don't care if you don't use Bitcoin. See the difference? What you're really trying to do goes against individual freedom. It's not hard to understand. You go your way, and I'll go mine.

I'm not buying your shitcoin. Next time, I'll mute you.

the reason this keeps happening is because people like you keep ignoring the obvious, monero is a superior privacy tool, like bitcoin is a superior savings/anti inflation technology vastly more secure (hashrate) and with a much bigger community/network effect. any monero guy denies such things, the others slap some sense into him. but it's not the same with bitcoiners, is it? and by the way, here's one for you to consider: there is no "we bitcoiners", you are making a categorical mistake. 99.9% of monero users are bitcoiners too, but they're more honest and rational, which is how they ended up in #monero but most bitcoiners are not monero users. it used to be different in the beginning, as most of us actually USED bitcoin and realized how privacy and anonymity-deficient it is. so naturally we recognized monero for what it was when it came out. simply put: if you're in this for freedom and privacy, there is no way monero is not part of your arsenal. there is MASSIVE cognitive dissonance with most bitcoiners, because they turned bitcoin into a fucking football club or religion type of deal. it's just a tool. and as a tool it sucks for privacy, sorry. so we have monero, that's great FOR US ALL. thank you for your attention to this matter!

he doesn't have counterarguments (because you're speaking facts) + he's made up his mind a priori, the glass is full, no room for learning because he already knows it all = "muted"

I learned something some years ago. **you cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into**. this is EMOTIONAL, not LOGICAL, for him & others stuck at the same place, which is why his replies don't MAKE SENSE. it's frustrating if you let it be, beause for you it's just LOGICAL, and you know your reasoning is sound (and you are open to proof that it isn't). but they never have proof, only muting and ad hominem attacks. remember, **you cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into**.

depends how brainwashed the lurker's been. did you need anyone to convince you to use monero, or were you smart enough to figure it out? I am inclined to reply when I see the blatant maxi dogma to hopefully let a naive lurker know there is another viewpoint, which sets them off down their own rabbit hole - if they're smart enough, they'll figure it out. what is certainly a waste of time is trying to "win" arguments - that's just ego shit. and especially against dogmatic, closed-off minds. in that case, I only see the usefulness in exposing how close-minded they are (which likely means they have no good arguments, only emotions and insults to throw at you). for the seasoned reader, that's all they need to see to draw their own conclusions.

EOS?

You wanted more diversity... That means you can't say #nostr is only for the Bitcoin community or belongs to bitcoiners. It makes sense that there are monero folks in here and they might have such reaction being how Bitcoin saturated is this protocol.

I am really bad at reading sarcasm. I think this is that, right? But yeah I do know EOS it had good marketing or more like a "charismatic" sales person for clueless folks like myself coming getting curious about crypto I'm 2017/18. I still have it from back then. I think I bought $200 worth of it, it been 99.99% gone for a long time. Is it still alive?
