For those of you interested, this was Nic Carter's take (the whole of it) on the Binance decision. If anybody wants to comment/share on X, or similar, to draw attention to the (skewed?) perspective, please do.

m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> I guess that's your point midipoet
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Bitcoin is the real privacy coin (100% true).
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> How does ramping problem make monero important?
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> I get why many people solely fixate on "number go up" - we all have bills to pay and food to put on the table. but can't some things be bigger than our monetary needs? for example, an ideology of freedom. perhaps for some people, the answer is no
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Hey, at the end of the day for me I'm willing to take the stand, I don't care if Monero goes to zero, I will still use it.
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> The Monero community needs a hybrid approach, we need to help our peers improve, & fix their fiat situations as best as we can but we need to get them to the point of realization that currency is solely a means of exchange, & what really matters is the goods, & services that people provide.
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Read the second part of the original statement.
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> I'm not sure I follow jordan_sanchez. Sure, without goods and service, there's little to exchange. but the medium *is* important. if it's only fiat token or heavily controlled tokens (ie Bitcoin), you have little privacy or autonomy
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> I guess you're pointing to the need to have goods and services exchanged for non-fiat tokens?
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> I'm just stating the fact that currencies ultimately are pointless,
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> But, why?
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> People's obsession with fiat is because they believe it is a necessity.

midipoet
john_r365: i don't think (worryingly for someone so intelligent) Nic has/comminicated a fair, or accurate, framing of the situation. They left out important detail, context, and didn't at all address the potential impacts, aside from "Monero is dead". I also took affront to the comparison of UI/UX with Grin (which seems illinformed/wilfully ignorant), and am sure those from Cake and Monerujo would be personally insulted!

m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> midipoet - agree. terrible take
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> jordan_sanchez - ok, so leading on from your point (which I'm still struggling with a bit). what's the outcome you're suggesting?
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> "monero is dead" - I guess we'll be able to count the notches of people that say that. meanwhile, those who actually have a need (or want) for it will continue to use it
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Monero is important, it's definitely a means to an end but it's not the ends.
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> The ends is independence, self-sufficiency, free-will, libre, open-source, self-ownership, privacy, & control over your own life, etc., etc.
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> Sure, I can get behind that
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> I think most people who have stuck around in the community would agree.
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> And if Monero stopped being a good means to that end, would switch to something that was better
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Monero is amongst one of the best tools we have as a species right now to accomplish those ends.
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> Bizarrely, yes. Perhaps bizarre because there are so few (any?) good alternatives
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Yes, and this has been proven because many of todays Monero's users were the original BTC'ers when it was still pseudonymous, when the only users were Black Markets, & Libertarians but they moved on.
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> And eventually, assuming when or if Monero fails to innovate people will move on to a faster, more secure, & better protocols/networks but that protocol/network has yet to arrive so far, or if so it hasn't gained traction yet.
-
m-relay
<john_r365:monero.social> yep

the clip is only 60 seconds long, but essentially 1. liquidity wasn't high enough with Binance for them to push back against, 2. Regulatory pressure, and 3. UI/UX was only just a bit better than Grin. He also declared its the end, and that Monero was his first love in the space.

m-relay

-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> DEX = pricing yourself in fiat in lou of establishing a local value system
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> It helps to prevent people from using it in exchange for goods and services.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> How does dex prevent ppl from using it ?
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> People focus on forex trades instead of focusing on denominating goods and services in ɱ
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Doesn’t stop someone from using it for goods n services
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> There has never been a focus on adoption, only building wallets but no vendor tools or push to adopt xmr has been done. Hence the lack of exposure, depending on a single market to carry xmr and in turn getting all that taint.

m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> With exchanges existing, the first thing people do when attempting to price their goods and services is attempt to adjust the price frequently based on the valuation in a different currency.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Ppl adjust price of goods n services, depending on the currencies buying power.
-
m-relay

m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> Why should people do that with ɱ ?

m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> If someone is able to acquire xmr from exchange, it’s that price.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Even if it’s a single person
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> There are btcpay and other sw that support it. The big problem is not the tools. It’s really the obsession with exchanges instead of setting local prices in ɱ
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Is the vendor chain accepting xmr ? They are not they have to settle it in their local currency

m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Vendor tools

m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Is a issue
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Who is setting these local prices in monero ?
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> That’s the problem. We should work on getting xmr being the currency throughout the supply chain. F exchanging.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Chain will all accept xmr, if they are exposed to it; there is no exposure we are hidden on dnms and no simple light wallet in 10years
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> The vendor. Based on their vendors. So on and so on. But forget exchanges. Because that breaks the force function that we need in order to denominate prices in ɱ
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> Cake wallet is not simple enough? (Not agruing. Honest question)
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Prices are in monero, but they fluctuate depending on it’s buying power

m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Nope, not for noobs they are used to their banking and btc apps showing balances straight away nor do they need to wait for 20 minutes between txs
-
m-relay
<hggpn9tbv4:matrix.org> Does anyone recommend blockchain / cryptocurrency lecture series for developers

m-relay

-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> No easy is lws
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> Define buying power. That buying power should be based on a supply chain that accepts xmr as much as possible. Looking to an exchange removes the pressure of us extending the adoption of xmr. The exchange allows you to ignore adoption. Adoption (denominating in ɱ) is extremely important. The most important thing even.
-
m-relay
<aremor:matrix.org> Then let’s fix it. But F exchanges.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Yes supply chain doesn’t accept xmr at the moment, it gets dumped straight away on cex. Market makers make a killing, slowly moving price up and with no buy walls as these xmr buyers are market buyers who fill these asks. Then the vendors come and market sell into thin books which get rebought by these market makers. Profit.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> 1st step stop marketing xmr as anti gov dnm coin, most devs don’t want to be related to such activity
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> 2nd finish lws, make it easy to use

dont worry, lws is "finished" - i have that code and some major proposals for it ...

i hope monero supports me in this lol i dont get why it wouldnt when i have been working on lws for 8 years
-
endogenic
literally one of best experts on it, and pioneered the standard
-
endogenic
i dont get why the community keeps saying lws is so important when i've been working on it without support from the community
-
endogenic
you guys should support an "expert" who works on monero even without pay and after all the terrible experiences
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Put it out in public ? More eyes it will have, the better it is ?
-
endogenic
but i have to say i've been baffled at the people that the community often rallies behind
-
endogenic
most certainly polar yes
-
endogenic
but it's one thing for someone to just demand that I put in public and it's another thing for me to actually survive
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Where is your ccs proposal ?
-
endogenic
I have literally lived in basements and on the street in order to do this work
-
endogenic
my CCS proposal is forthcoming because like I said, I have no help and I'm solving a blocker to the reason why I built this thing in the first place
-
endogenic
you have no idea how many disclosures I have for the Monero communitylol
-
endogenic
in terms of technology
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> You need support of what kind ?
-
endogenic
I had discovered some things that you guys really are going to wanna know about but it really gives me pause wondering what you guys priorities are
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Cryptic as always
-
endogenic
The support that I need for starters is that I need people not to simply move on as if the fact that it's not public means that I'm not the person who has been working on this and making innovations that you guys guys don't even know about, but you really need to
-
endogenic
it's not cryptic my friend
-
endogenic
it's just that I have no one helping me, while all these competitors have no scruples about taking my code, and using it
-
endogenic
I thought I've been fairly clear about the fact that I've been given massive disadvantages despite the fact that I've been so willing to give stuff to the Monero community for free
-
endogenic
I would love it if the Monero community could actually work together
-
endogenic
I hate how adversarial it is
-
endogenic
honestly, it wasn't always quite like that
-
endogenic
I think people have become distrustful of each other because of some bad elements
-
endogenic
I find it to be a massive shame
-
endogenic
so it's not a big surprise that I don't trust the community much anymore
-
endogenic
you guys are kinda dumb sometimes haha
-
endogenic
but you've been manipulated by some masters
-
endogenic
kept in the dark about a lot of stuff
-
endogenic
there's a reason that people are cryptic. It's because they don't feel safe.
-
endogenic
not that complicated, and unfortunately, very real in this circumstance
-
endogenic
I assure you, and would even bet you a large sum of money if i had it that my code is done and very well tested, and I have very notable disclosures.
-
endogenic
lol
-
endogenic
I think my attitude would be different if even one contributor was interested in working with me. but I found it odd, how most of the people who I end up contacting with just want to obtain information from me and then leave and go do their own stuff.
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Is your code going to be open source ?
-
endogenic
so maybe it's a waste of time to ask the community to stop being so careless with the people who contribute to it. I think it probably is. But it's not necessary for you to worry about whether this lws work can get done because I'm telling you that it's done already. i'm asking you to collaborate instead of just ignoring the fact that somebody spent their own savings and lived on the street in order to do this.
-
endogenic
yes, it will be 100% open source
-
endogenic
it almost seems like this community intentionally stresses people out because for some reason you've been given the idea that it's OK to do that to people by certain past leaders
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> So open it and start working, there will be honest devs who will help you
-
endogenic
extremely few people who have the technical ability to work on this have any reason whatsoever to put up with that kind of treatment
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> If you want to do everything in private it won’t work
-
endogenic
again, you're ordering me to do some thing without necessarily they're being away for me to do it
-
endogenic
there's a problem that I'm trying to point out
-
endogenic
and I absolutely assure you that if I didn't have this blocker which I'm certainly making enormous progress on, then I would have released this code long time ago
-
endogenic
The reason I haven't released it is that as you are seeing right now, people just want the material and then they will discard the one who produced it, unless they think that they can extract more from them
-
endogenic
that is the community that has been created here right now
-
endogenic
I wouldn't speak like this otherwise because I don't want it to be true
-
m-relay
<polar9669:matrix.org> Get fresh eyes, put it on GitHub
-
endogenic
but it is pretty stupid and self-defeating
-
endogenic

<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Bitcoin trend is to become a medium of exchange of fiat money. Only. Want to do anything else with it? KYC to death.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Therefore Monero's natural role in the "ecosystem" will be, at the beginning, a subterfuge for privacy conscious/needing users through atomic swaps.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Then the governments were exert pressure on the Bitcoin community to squash all points of contact between the two networks.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> It's gonna be a second wave of oppression.

m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Therefore, as I see it, the way to go for us right now is to make, preemptively, a stronger wider integration with Bitcoin.

-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Because they have learned the hard way not to go against it. Bitcoin will always dominate the market.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> The reason why is because fragmentation creates instability. Many networks means many different ways of measuring value. That makes prices unstable.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Also shitcoinery attracts bad elements of society.

m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> I think we need to hack Bitcoin to make its integration with Monero impossible to defeat.

m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> Not sure if you're aware about BitVM? Bitcoin is going turing-complete.
-
m-relay
<elaryan:hackliberty.org> That means we can run any code on it. We could run Monero on top of a Bitcoin node if we really wanted to 😂

jordan_sanchez: to be fair most monero+other chain wallets have swaps built in. Monerujo even allows you to pay other currency invoices, by sending transactions in XMR, recognising the receiving address as some other chain. It's obviously through an exchange service, but it's a nice feature.

<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Because we forgot what money actually is.

<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> I was trying to direct the conversation to off topic because my reply to his question is going to be drastically off topic.

Been off topic for days

Im not making a deal out of it. Just felt like "since were on the topic, might as well point out that the rush from delisting was nice but lets get back to work and move those talks to their appropriate channels"

Not everything is -offtopic. Some of this on topic for #monero , just offtopic for -community

endogenic
yeah tbh i forgot this was a workgroup about the "community"

m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> naturally diverge from their original points eventually.
-
ofrnxmr
and they should diverge to their rooms
-
m-relay
<jordan_sanchez:matrix.org> And thats why I’m trying to do but I’m not on irc so I’m not sure if element invites work the same on that side as they do here.
-
endogenic
prefer debates which can be settled instead ;)
-
endogenic
besides, there are some solutions that some debates don't know about
