No monero fan bothered to answer me yet. So, next try…
What will we all do if let’s assume Monero gains momentum and becomes number 2 or even number 1 (in usage and/or price) and Wallstreet & Friends will just do what they did to BTC.
Print fiat and buy all the monero they need, then manipulate price and then offer paper-monero services… ETF, wrapped monero, leverage, futures etc etc…
Moneros privacy attribute can not prevent this from happening, if they control the price XMR becomes unattractive too.
So what makes monero fans so convinced that it would be off much better?
If you never off ramp in BTC, then it is also unstoppable and untraceable (keys could have been stolen…)
The real question in both cases seems to be, who is really ready to break his/her countries law by using those coins in high amounts without reporting it.

100% agree 👍🏻
BTC would only be kinda private if of a sudden no one would ever off-ramp again… which we all know, will not happen.
Paper-btc is the other problem,… check Bob Kendall’s Thesis on synthetic flow/fractional reserve bitcoin.
Could some BTC Podcaster find an ex Wallstreet person that could explain us step-by-step how this is done and why it works each time (Gold, Silver, Oil, Wood,…), and why they would manipulate the price downwards sometimes, but sometimes also upwards?

Let’s assume wallstreet and friends captured BTC; and it seems, they have at this point, at least financially (yes…also devs funding and pooled hash are problematic, but not as bad);…
…then couldn’t they capture Monero even quicker judging by it’s small market size…?
Is Monero able to prevent this from happening?
Create some Paper Monero, do shady OTC deals and have a lot of wallstreet controlled whale coins. Practically the same shit show over and over again as often as they want, cause their money printer can just go brrrrr anytime…

Manipulation imo. It even seems as if wallstreet&friends are testing on how precisely they can manipulate, letting the price hoover slightly above MicroStrategys average buying price.
What if part of the plan is to let the Strategy balloon implode to then buy up cheap btc to guarantee that the US leads in global btc holdings…

Ok 👍🏻 agree. And could we also agree that the ideal case would be Bitcoins sound money, security (biggest decentralisation and PoW) and trustless attributes combined with Moneros privacy?
Could theoretically at some point the core devs add this privacy to bitcoin?
I am aware that at this point this could not happen, b/c bitcoin would then be blacklisted on exchanges too and so on… but maybe there will come a point where there is a big enough will worldwide for freedom and privacy…

Appreciate Monero, it really is great in regard to anonymity, but not so great in all the remaining aspects.
Use any AI and let them give you a comparison list of bugs, breaches and roll backs between Bitcoin, Monero and Zcash (while we are on it). Bitcoin is by far the most secure, decentralised and stable chain of them all.
Yes, there are high mining pool concentrations, but the moment someone cheats, the combined pool hash power would rearrange into other pools, just because out of self-interest. The cheater can then continue on its hard forked new shitcoin chain and get happy.
Saifedean says about tether in his 2025 Las Vegas BTC speech, that all that tether is doing is turning out to be a bit bullish for the USD, but much more bullish for BTC, especially the part when tether might be able to offer an even better us dollar stable coin, then the us dollar itself.
Saifedean literally says:”…rather than boosting the usd, I think tether is actually a good way to transitioning away from the us dollar…”.
Strategy buys btc in a complete different way and follows a complete different plan then tether.
Final Insight
• Bitcoin is the safest long-term monetary base.
• Monero offers the best privacy with acceptable risk, but with a history of notable bugs and a weaker mining network.
• Zcash offers the strongest possible privacy in theory, but its cryptography carries unique existential risks (invisible inflation) not present in Bitcoin or Monero.
Why Bitcoin wins the scarcity argument
Bitcoin is:
• the only asset with verifiable absolute scarcity
• the most secure proof-of-work network
• the simplest monetary rule (21M, fixed forever)
• the least cryptographically complex → fewer inflation risks
• the most decentralized mining ecosystem
Everything about Bitcoin is designed to minimize existential risk.
Monero and Zcash both introduce cryptographic and design trade-offs that reduce long-term trust in absolute scarcity.
Final thought:
Hopefully as BTC evolves, maybe at some point in time, tail emission and the complete anonymity will/can be added to the protocol if then necessary.

@npub1dc9…c8rz Thanks, for our prior conversation and for the documentaries you shared, which I still have not seen, but will asap and get back to you.
I get your concept of untraceable, free money… I actually would prefer bitcoin being that way instead of being pseudo anonymous, which atm makes it very traceable and open to censorship at on/off ramps. Maybe some day we will see btc adopting the fully anonymous aspect, who knows. For now, competition between countries will prevent censorship.
Anyway seeing this conversation now, I must say @filipe has a point. If it is true that in monero there were rollbacks and similar actions then that is a huge no-go. You might have freedom money, which is soft at the end if the day.
So, you should want monero to be more on the hard money side (btc), just as I want btc to be more on the untraceable, anonymous side to keep things going and power out of the hands of governments and corporations.
Again, our views do not differ that much imo… and hopefully both features will merge some day
Btw, do you come from generational wealth (=no fiat job necessary)? Or are you the first in line to have achieved that?

Agree. Fiat, complete joke. Gold is great. Then again for years I see friends buying and holding gold in their banking apps (digital), which for me feels off and as a perversion of Gold happing in the Background faster as ever before (the Medici family before with trust ink and paper = slow)… so Gold also has changed. A circus. And when people speak about Gold, this needs to be included into the equation.
Repricing Gold, also crazy.
Holding Gold bars is a though nut, but the only right way to do this.
I agree, it is the choosen one, but it is being awe fully played with and getting less free.
Are you a monero friend then? Or any other coin? Or a bitcoiner that asks for more freedom oriented closed markets, = agoras leaving out fiat and old world finance

Crazy…, I really appreciate your answers! Deep well thought through helpful stuff!
Looks like we mean similar things, but i give them less weight than I maybe should and on top add more hope than I should, cause I want it to work of course.
Guess in the old days you would call that being corrupted or biased.
Another thought. What if you are completely right on one or more of these points and BTC fails as freedom tech. Would it maybe be at least have the potential to be the best sound money option ever, better than fiat currencies and gold? Because it will be transparent, although being KYC?
Fiat and Gold are anything but transparent… who knows how much there is and where it is located and all… no one has access to real data for both

2025-10-17 20:08:00 UTC

- reply

What about, if an adaptation process has to include these weaker steps?
This behaviour speeds up adaption, and once used more new ways or the way it was originally thought of could still be used.
As long as people do not off ramp it will be impossible to track what’s really happening with btc… or have you heard the opposite?

2025-10-17 20:01:28 UTC

- reply

Ok, the centralisation happening in pools is a critical point that i have on my radar. But using that power to manipulate would harm the miner and holder themselves because it would not go unwitnessed. I might be wrong.
Another thing is bombing away whole countries holding btc would pump the price, so that’s a bad motivator. Of course countries could use some global multi sig tech to prevent this I believe.
Quantum power cracking not updated old lost coin wallets is another one.
KYC attempts everywhere are really a downer… someone said, if this happens you will end up rich but depressed … integrating monero tech might help in the future…
Jack Dorsey working on offline payments… that’s good and missing (Africa etc).
Paper bitcoin… could be a huge problem
These are my spots on the radar.

2025-10-17 19:47:00 UTC

- reply

Ok, fair enough… let me just say this.
That BTC has come this far is remarkable and impressive, that is what amazes me and up to this day i have been searching for the big flaw since 2017… nada. And think about all of the FUD it just marched right through since 2009… that is the crazy unbelievable part.
