Bitcoin doesn’t move like the stock market. There’s no hedge funds to call to naked short a nonexistent Bitcoin Inc in to the dirt. This means nothing.
That said I’d live bitcoin to go to a penny. I’d buy and hodl. I’d buy and hodl hard.
That said, fuck Trump. But not literally because his lineage should be pruned.
Tin-foil hat time but I’d be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they’ve managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I’m increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.
Monero uses RandomX which must be done only on CPU which limits power consumption drastically and promotes decentralization rather than mining farms like bitcoin. Both of those combined will make it much easier for utilities to handle it. Since one utility won’t be getting hit with extreme load from mining farms all in one single area, such as Texas. You’ve also got to consider how much electricity does the banking industry as a whole use for building their buildings, bringing employees to work, shuttling money around in armored trucks, all that stuff. There’s probably tons I’m not even thinking of. Proof of work is better than proof of stake simply because a governmyth can’t print more of their crap fiat currency and buy up more stake in order to hurt the network. If a government wants to attack Ethereum, they just print more fiat currency and buy Ethereum. If they want to attack Bitcoin or Monero, they have to buy the equipment to do so and then plug it in and use power. They would have to sacrifice something real in order to do that.

Monero is what Bitcoiners thought they bought. It’s completely fungible and private just as cash is supposed to be.
Monero is great. Only crypto currency I actually use. Transactions are also waaay cheaper and faster than with Bitcoin.
It’s really the only one worth using.
It’s also completely unsustainable like bitcoin. There’s no long term future in proof-of-work.
