@Vladcostea When $BTC was $100, people bought it to escape the system. when BTC is $100k people buy it to get rich within the system. the mission changed the values changed but some of us remember why we got into crypto. not for NGU but for freedom. $XMR is for the people who still remember
if you swapped 1 bitcoin for monero a year ago
today you would have 3 bitcoin worth of monero
3x more btc if you’re that kind of maxi
how does the church of maximalism, which claims that it’s impossible to outperform bitcoin, explain this market reality?
@KookCapitalLLC Privacy narrative is going to be massive! everyone's going to wake up to surveillance. everyone's going to realize transparent blockchains were a mistake. everyone's going to ask why didn't anyone tell me about $XMR ?
two of the biggest narratives in crypto current / upcoming are
> privacy (current)
> quantum (upcoming)
govts around the world are about to implement cbdcs and track everything you do from onchain --> tradfi
the only truly private crypto is xmr
i expect xmr to enter a long-term bull market; $10,000 per monero would not be a crazy price to me
on quantum, it seems like the entire crypto market is discounting the threat
there's almost no talk or development on quantum resistant solutions
quantum progress can hit a zero-to-one moment at any point and things can change fast
i expect discussion on this topic to accelerate soon
privacy + quantum potentially two very big metas into the future
let's see

@raidmach1ne@cz_binance@TrustWallet Wishing you luck on getting it back. would be legendary if @cz_binance and @TrustWallet did full refunds in original tokens
use rabby is clean or just go full with cold wallet to protect your assets
I would be very grateful if you could help me recover and refund my funds @cz_binance@TrustWallet!
In what assets are you planning to refund the drained funds, and what is the expected timeline? @cz_binance@TrustWallet
I lost almost $150000. A hacker sold 2,804,094 $NOCK (@nockchain) tokens from my wallet for almost 43 eth($128000$), causing the price to drop from $0.053 to $0.04.
My wallet: basescan.org/address/0xce46…
Hacker’s wallet (still actively draining other users):
etherscan.io/address/0x261d…
As far as I can see, hacker continues to steal funds, so please be careful if you’re using Trust Wallet with the Google Chrome extension.
In your opinion, how should Trust Wallet handle refunds in cases like this? In $NOCK tokens? In a stablecoin ? Or maybe ETH?
I’d really appreciate hearing everyone’s thoughts.
@PerpetualCow The $XMR community is what $BTC community used to be:
Cypherpunks, privacy advocates, people who actually care about decentralization
not VCs, not grifters. just believers
@mullvadnet Remember when the IRS offered $625,000 bounty in 2020 to crack Monero? then upped it to $1.25m ? they hired Chainalysis they hired everyone. years later still private that's not a bug that's a feature.
$XMR stands like a king 👑
The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.
The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”
Once again, they use “what about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices.
The bill also seeks “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” and wants “all regulated user-to-user services to use highly-effective age assurance measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users.” In practice, this means identity checks for VPN users, making things like anonymous whistleblowing difficult.
The attack on secure and private communication is worldwide. Now is the time for resistance. Demand transparency from your politicians, and privacy for the people.
@DefiIgnas This is why $XMR is important man. you can't have this awkward conversation if you're using Monero. complete privacy by default. no transaction history exposed. no one can look up your wallet balance
It is amazing to see stablecoins entering mainstream.
Renting a bike and the guy asked if I can send USDT.
But my brain immediately started to think how to send 60 usdt without doxxing my networth.
@NoLimitGains Satoshi mined 1 million $BTC and never moved them. why? because moving them would compromise his privacy. that's when he realized Bitcoin isn't private enough. time for $XMR
🚨 I’M 99% CERTAIN I’VE FIGURED OUT WHO CREATED BITCOIN.
I’m not just guessing, I have solid proof to back this up.
There’s a trail of facts that keeps lining up, no matter how hard you try to ignore it…
Crypto holders, hear me out.
Here’s who I think Satoshi Nakamoto is:
I’m talking about Hal Finney.
Hal was one of the first people ever to receive Bitcoin.
The first transaction from Satoshi went to him.
That alone already puts him in a microscopic group.
But it goes deeper.
Hal was a world class cryptographer, a cypherpunk OG, and a contributor to PGP years before Bitcoin existed.
He had the exact technical skillset needed to design Bitcoin from scratch, including proof-of-work systems that look way too similar to BTC’s design.
Now here’s where it gets uncomfortable.
Hal lived a few blocks away from a man literally named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto.
That’s not a conspiracy, that’s literally public record.
If you were trying to pick a pseudonym that wouldn’t draw attention to yourself, what better camouflage than someone down the street?
Writing style analysis is another rabbit hole…
When you compare Hal’s emails, forum posts, and code comments to Satoshi’s writings, the overlap in tone, structure, and phrasing is hard to unsee. Same dry humor.
Same clarity and same discipline.
Timing matters too…
Satoshi vanished from the internet right around the time Hal’s ALS symptoms worsened.
As Hal’s health declined, Satoshi went silent forever.
No dramatic exit. No goodbye post. He’s just… gone.
And maybe the most telling detail of all:
Hal mined early Bitcoin, and alot of it.
But those coins were never moved. Ever.
No cash-out, no temptation, no exit scam.
Exactly what you’d expect from someone who didn’t build Bitcoin for money.
Today, he would be worth a staggering $100 billion dollars.
Hal once said he believed Bitcoin could become a global reserve asset.
Satoshi designed it that way.
Was Hal definitely Satoshi? Nobody can 100% prove it.
But if Satoshi was a single person, and not a group, Hal Finney checks more boxes than anyone else.
And maybe that’s the point.
Bitcoin didn’t need a CEO, it just needed an idea.
And the person behind it made sure the idea outlived them.
Btw i called the exact bitcoin bottom at $16k three years ago and also the top at $126k and i’ll call my next move publicly like i do all the time.
Many people will wish they followed me sooner.
@GoodTexture The same people who said $BTC is for criminals in 2012 now own Bitcoin. The same people saying $XMR is for criminals now will own Monero in 2035. you're on the wrong side of history shilling $ZEC. it's not too late to switch
@XRPathologist lmao this is literally a mossad operation and you're shilling it. $XMR is what satoshi wanted. $ZEC is what SEC wanted
this is literally a israeli intelligence honeypot. they want you off monero bc it actually works
@EliBenSasson How is zec decentralized when one entity controls 65% of the network? i'll wait. actually i won't because there's no good answer. there's only 1 network that's actually private and decentralized. it's not $zec it's $xmr. stop falling for the VC funded privacy theater
Bitcoin and Zcash are Hard Money: Proven, decentralized, PoW assets.
Starknet is making them Programmable: Adding a high-speed, low-costs, simplified UX economy layer.
The result: Programmable Hard Money
@ALofurno_ This whole market became a joke after 2017. ICOs then DeFi scams then NFT rugs then memecoins. $BTC proved decentralized money works. $XMR proved privacy can't be compromised. that's it. everything else needs to prove actual utility not just hype cycles
Honestly if $AVICI doesn’t succeed I may lose all faith in crypto. Assuming no major red flags appear or anything changes fundamentally.
I mean this is why alot of people I know have switched their focus to TradFi.
I really don’t like what crypto has became. I still believe there’s plenty of opportunity otherwise I wouldn’t be here but it’s changed alot and not for the better.
@vladcostea@vikrantnyc Why does $zec need a company (ECC) to survive when $xmr is completely decentralized? explain to me how a 20% dev tax doesn't make zec a securities offering?
if ztrash is so private, why can Chain Analysis still track most of it?
Monero bros: yeah bro, we’re gonna activate FCMP++ and have the best privacy ever bro it’s coming bro
Monero bros when they have to pay the devs to build FCMP++:
@vikrantnyc donates 60 of the 61 XMR raised, others complain it’s too much money
Cheap bastards lol
I am becoming increasingly more and more bullish on XMR.
Crypto tends to be EXTREMELY telegraphed,
To the point where you often doubt a "play" just because of how obvious it is.
ZEC ran hard [and mind you - it's still going to run further imo, it had its first bull-back which is completely normal],
It showed the world that "privacy" is a serious matter and sought after by crypto users.
And on that front, NOTHING is greater for privacy than XMR.
There is no debate about it.
BOTH ZEC and XMR can co-exist, as they always have done.
If you look at how insanely strong XMR has been chart wise, it's clear that there isn't a single person who wants to sell because THE FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK.
Eventually, like every telegraphed "trade" - everyone will clock how ALL THE SIGNS were RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES.
We tend to buy things as a form of "investment" or a trade thesis in mind.
But XMR is greater than just a trade, it's a store of value and transactional peace of mind.
The truth is, "they've" deliberately nerfed it and made it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY on purpose.
That will HAVE TO shift, the demand for it will exceed all LARP regulations, relistings will take place and price will fucking teleport.
This is the ONLY WAY to wage war on hyperdeveloping digital surveillance and financial control [HMRC scrutinizing UK crypto holders in 2026 is just the start].
Only a matter of time XMR viciously breaks ATH.

@gensynai English auction for a token sale in 2025? might as well use carrier pigeons. this is how you know the VCs want to squeeze every last cent from retail before dumping
$AI is cooked and for the love of god don't buy it
@arkham@Zcash $XMR can't track it, exchanges delist it, govs hate it.
$ZEC trackable by @arkham, exchanges love it, regulators cool with it. one is privacy the other is theater 🎭
ZCASH IS LIVE ON ARKHAM
Arkham has now labeled more than half of the privacy chain Zcash’s shielded and unshielded transactions. This accounts for $420B of volume tagged to known individuals and institutions.
Track $ZEC transactions, entities and balances on Arkham. Here’s what you’ll see:
