Comment on I loved the gab interview on timcast

I love the part where he talks about the big financial corps cutting them off. This is how Silicon Valley and the Elites want to kill free speech platforms and conservatives. As long as startups need this infrastructure, the Elites can lord over them.
I just love how Torba explained that they just accepted checks and bitcoin instead. And now they are starting GabPay. This is probably the most important contribution from Gab to free people from having good alternatives to mainstream Gatekeeping by Zuckercuck, Gates et al.

I just looked into hosting my own bitcoin payment processor. You can fully expect to see a wolfballs crypto payment system in the next year or two depending on priorities. With a shop and all that to buy swag.

Very very good on you ! 10 years ago, I thought bitcoin would stay at the fringes. After all who can win against the allmighty dollar ?
Its 2022, and looks like the dollar committed suicide......
German inflations was 24% for December..... that's the Euro.....
Amazing what a great job govt has done of destroying the value of hard currency

It seems likely that bitcoin will remain on the fringes and retain more value than other crypto simply for memorabilia. It is bound to be supplanted by more advanced technology. It's possible to encode data in metal itself as hardware code, so to speak. The main deficiencies of bitcoin are transaction speed and traceability, which is what an active parallel/alternative system needs in order to be viable. Fiats will always exist in some form, and for practical reasons you need a hybrid fiat, which ultimately may be a hybrid of metals, crypto, and fiat... It

How about monero or pirate? Not because there's anything to hide, but out of principle... The establishment hate monero because they want to ve able to identify senders and receivers to stifle or shut down alternativity... The really only real thing crypto has to offer is freedom from the mainstream system.

Is pirate another anon coin? Crypto can take power away from financial censorship. Paypal for example is pretty woke. Perhaps if I say retard to much they will ban my account.
Monero looks nice. I don't really understand it well. I'm not sure how new coins are created.

They are mined in similar ways. Pirate Chain or ARRR, is worth exploring to see if it passed muster, i am not advocating for anything in particular, but i have friends in oppressive countries and i want to find safe ways of transferring "money" to them that are not only anonymised, but also don't draw attention. The pinch point is always the conversion from crypto into fiat cash, and the underlying threat to Tether, being potentially backed by a collapsing Chinese housing market is a real and present danger to al crypto. The benefit of Pirate Chain is that its low value, lower than monero.
