<t​esttank:matrix.org> A stupid question: when people inevitably stop being retarded and realize that Monero is the most powerful asset in the world, and the price increases 1000x, the developers, who I assume hold a lot of Monero, will become very rich. Will they still have the motivation to keep improving the protocol?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> how do you know they hold any xmr?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Maybe they sell it all for fiat as soon as they get it 🧠

what, they don't?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> That's their business

the point remains

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I'm not psychic

<k​20a:matrix.org> Stupid question, but how do you guys get xmr outside of an exchange? Is the only way to get it just mining or through an exchange like kraken? I'm new to xmr so I'm a little confused as to the point of monero since using an exchange requires you to expose yourself so much.

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> there many way, depending of your location

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> Haveno, noones (only accept local orders......), otc, etc, etc

<k​20a:matrix.org> So I take it those would be exchange cash (fiat) in person for the xmr?

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> Or other way yeah, like bank transfer, etc, etc. But yeah, cash is a good way

<k​20a:matrix.org> I see, thank you.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Can you get other crypto? If so, you can swap that into xmr easily

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> on no-kyc centralized exchanges like tradeogre, atomic swaps like basicswap, or p2p via haveno

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> changenow.io

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> no kyc below amounts of 5k usd

<s​erpent:converser.eu> is that from kycnot.me?

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> its integrated within mymonero wallet and never asked me for kyc

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> so should be fine to exchange e.g ltc to xmr

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> :3

<x​3cc:nope.chat> It’s a personal psychology of individual, you know, to get motivation to work/improve even if some goals are achieved and you basically can afford to not do it

<x​3cc:nope.chat> There is even a such thing as “post-success depression”

<x​3cc:nope.chat> Maybe just like post-nut depression

<x​3cc:nope.chat> So we have to be always to pre-goon delusion

<x​3cc:nope.chat> In*

Sorry fluffypony for the angry potentially untrue comments. I was upset I lost all my money on Tari.

That's all. Take care

<f​luorescent_beige:matrix.org> There will be a day when people stop being retarded? 😯

<p​w:xmr.mx> do what mean retarded?!

<x​3cc:nope.chat> retarded ❌ smooth brain enjoyer ✅
