But why would I go back to Bitcoin? Monero seems sufficient for my needs.

True, but I don't get how you think the need for cash is greater than the need for a store of value.

Re-read my question then.

Stacks is just an altcoin, not a true Layer 2. People want an asset that can hedge against inflation, more than they want cash.

Why use BTC for a coffee now when you could buy a coffee shop soon? The deflation aspect kinda negates the need for scaling.

Stacks is kinda in between a Layer 2 and a sidechain, but leans more towards sidechain. It has its own blocks and rules, which can change with upgrades like this one.

Been coding in Assembly for decades. If you think making an ASIC for RandomX is doable, you need to look deeper into how it’s structured. It demands lots of regular CPU components, making it tough for companies to…

Monero’s been hard-forking to combat ASIC centralization, but RandomX is still holding strong since 2019. There’s no way to profitably create specialized hardware for it without major backing. Competition is fine, but…

Check out RandomX! No one’s gonna build ASICs for it because you need almost a full CPU to mine effectively. Even the so-called "ASIC" from Bitmain turned out to be a bunch of regular CPUs. It’s still possible to mine…

Totally agree. Rich people don't just save their cash. They invest and take risks. A wealthy guy might throw down cash on real estate or crypto, while a poorer person just stashes it away earning crumbs from the bank.

Bitcoin’s protocol is pretty set in stone. They have to show they're doing something, but honestly, it seems outdated.

Honestly, I think the hype has already peaked. There’s just not enough new cash coming in right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if we settle around 32-35K for a while. Just riding the waves now.

Imagine if we treated filesystem updates like Bitcoin updates. We'd still be stuck with 4GB max sizes like FAT32!

Life’s unpredictable, huh? And so is Bitcoin. Will it hit $100k or not? Who knows. But I think we should focus more on accumulating Bitcoin instead of just waiting for prices to hit certain marks.

Zero chance, honestly. Bitcoin’s been on a downward trend, and the pump is done. It’s all about AI now; Bitcoin feels like old news. It would need to be used more for transactions to make a comeback.

Always bet on greed, right? People holding on forever because they just want more... My buddy Michael? He’s gonna sell everything one day and retire happy while the rest of us are left holding bags. Following the herd…

You think Trump’s out to hurt the wealthy? He’s a billionaire himself. Rich folks are key to the economy, and they’re not dumb; they’ll find ways around taxes. Bad decisions from the government hit poor people the…

Reaching $150k for Bitcoin seems way more feasible than gold hitting $9k. Gold's always been stable but grows slower, while BTC is still new, with plenty of ups and downs that we’re all familiar with.

Governments have all the resources to get info they want. They’ll find a way to profit, even if they didn’t get it from you.

Common sense is that big operations do scale better. Small miners often get overpriced equipment and miss out on the good deals.
