TCP/IP is actually a great analogy. Do you know the totally surveilled internet we have today? Where all metadata is sniffed relentlessly, any unencrypted content immediately stored away in perpetuity? Direct consequence of the whole networking stack having neither privacy nor anonymity at the protocol level. Now, this is no grand conspiracy, technology tends to start out simpler and evolve over time. So we build all those things on top of this stack - Tor, VPNs, Nym, etc, and it's always a cat and mouse game, because all those leave breadcrumbs all over the network, most solutions are vulnerable to timing/correlation attacks, even the one that is not (Nym) is still operating on top of no privacy+no anonymity (protocol level), which means that you as a user can still be "tagged" for using the tools. All of this would be a very different story had everything been private and anonymous, and the Internet would've been a very different place too. Most of the surveillance methods currently employed would be innefective, and could, simply put, not work. It's the same with Bitcoin, **the damage is already done*. It would be bad enough on its own, but of course, it also spawned the "crypto" revolution, and now there are thousands upon thousands of equally retardedly transparent blockchains out there. What does all this achieve? **Normalization of radical transparency and financial surveillance**. If you really think the pseudonymity is enough, you're a fool, you know little about the value of metadata. The Internet could not have been built private and anonymous from the ground up, it was not possible back then. We could have gotten at least default encryption with IPv6, but this was dropped off the spec for....... reasons we can't fathom (take a wild guess). It wouldn't have been anonymous (still clearnet IP end to end) but it could have been private (is it SSH? HTTPS? SMTPS? who knows, can't tell). That was taken from us, and few even know. Similarly, to expect Bitcoin to have better privacy from the start is also not reasonable - **complexity comes later**. And later it did come - in the form of #monero 📝 1d9009a8…

the free market has decided - over and over again, we see what real users actually choose! not lightning, not ruggable ecash, but #monero facts don't care about your feelings. get a monero wallet today and JOIN THE DARK SIDE today! 📝 f7859cef…

He's right alright, the trend is very clear. Just not in the way his maxirot brain sees. 📝 3a559ce4…

Always goes back to NGU with those zealot maxis, doesn't it? newsflash, bozo: monero users can and do hold bitcoin too. this "Cypherpunk" is one giant walking projection: he's a zealot, literally cannot imagine others not being zealots too. Can you imagine it? after all the dumb shit he's said, going back now and admitting "damn, I was a dunce cultist" - ain't happening, that giant ego won't allow it. One day, if #monero overtakes bitcoin in market cap, he'll be coming up with some crazy new excuse as to why he was right all long. What a bore.

Speaking of feelings over reason, does he even realize the builtin NGU mentality in his thinking? As if #monero had to reach dollar-price parity with bitcoin to be useful. Maxi nonsense. 📝 a74bbebf…
