#92As far as I know, the state of crypto privacy is that everything is directly traceable except: * Bitcoin lightning transactions when the lightning nodes involved are trusted to not keep logs * Transactions through mixers with a lot of users * Monero transactions * Zcash private transactions And everything is de-facto traceable except: * Tornado cash users who use standard-size amounts (or users of another equivalentl…
Satoshi's largest error was not making Bitcoin private by default and it strikes me as out of character given his/her level of commitment to being anonymous.

#93I hope the feds hunt down and arrest everybody who used multiple slurp juices on a single ape. There's XMR, some interesting little projects like DERO, and a vast sea of tokenomic pyramid scheme garbage that governments can and should stop.

Dude, he was the inventor of cryptocurrency, did you except him to get everything right at once.

#95>Chainalysis software puts the lie to the idea that Bitcoin guarantees anonymity. I, for one, am shocked that moving decentralized currency to a centralized service that knows your identity de-anonymizes said currency.
Almost any use of bitcoin will de-anonymize you through some heuristic.

So is it safe to say Monero is a sort of Bitcoin 2.0? I mean if Bitcoin had 'versions' that would be great. Then we wouldn't have to invent entirely new cryptocurrencies, we could just iterate on existing ones, and have our userbase intact without having to 'gain traction' for an entirely new alt-coin.

>they're not going to let some random geeks make trillions of dollars vanish. i've heard this sentiment conveyed in the crypto space since 2011... still waiting on this prophecy to come true. Due to incompetence, profit motive or traitors to their country, who can tell the difference? (Paraphrasing Robespierre here)
In what way has this not come true? It isn’t random geeks getting rich off of crypto anymore it’s institutions
