@debby @monocles @Stuxhost well, @delta / #deltaChat is not using #XMPP+#OMEMO (unlike #monoclesChat & #gajim) but #PGP/MIME on regular #eMail, which makes it way easier to setup in organizations as "nit yet another server needed" and also easier to comply with mandatory #archival laws in #business use-cases.

• #Session & #Signal, like #Telegram & #WhatsApp, do not have their #backend opensourced nor allow #SelfHosting and demand #PII like #PhoneNumbers for registration if not useage for no valid reason. Plus they are not just able but obviously willing to snitch on their users (something neither DeltaChat nor monocles chat demand or even can as both do 100% #SelfCustody of all the keys!)

• As for #sustainability, monocles is financed by #subscribers (they charge like €2 p.m. for mail & chat) and they can be paid completely anonymously (#Monero & #CashByMail!), whereas #Signal is a #MoneyBurningParty which engages in #Shitcoin-#Scams (see #MobileCoin!) for no valid reason…

@signalapp It's not #disinfo when one points out that you demand #PII aka. #PhoneNumbers from Users and that is literally a architectural vulnerability, alongside your #proprietary & #Centralized #Infrastructure.

• #Signal being a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #Solution is literally the reason why I consider it #insecure.

Not to mention the lack of @torproject / #Tor support with an #OnionService or the willingness to fulfill #cyberfacist "Embargoes" or shilling a #Shitcoin #Scam named #MobileCoin!

• #KYC is the illicit activity!!!

And don't get me started on the #cyberfacism that is #CloudAct.

• If you were secure, criminals would've used your platform so hard, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

I may nit have allvthe.evidence yet, but #Signal stenches like #ANØM: #Honeypot-esque!

@nemo Except #Signal demanding #PII like a #PhoneNumber, being subject to #CloudAct an shilling #MobileCoin, a blatant #Shitcoin #Scam disqualifies them!

@lauren no, because @signalapp is subject to #CloudAct (= incompatible with #GDPR & #BDSG if you ever care!) and collects #PII in the firirm of #PhoneNumbers, which are at best pseudonymous but trivial to track and at most means that people inviting others without their consent comitted an illegal disclosure if PII!

• Use real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys that isn't a #proprietary #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution that peddles a #shitcoin #scam!

Give #XMPP+#OMEMO a shot: @monocles / #monocles & @gajim / #gajim.

@blog @sylv_a @viennawriter nur dass @signalapp auch nen #Shitcoin - #Scam und #proprietär|e #SingleVendor / #SinglePrivider - Lösung ist die unzulässig #PII wie #Telefonnummer|n verlangt!

@persagen
Why are people railing against crypto, suggesting it's just a fraud and a scam?
Trump spent his entire adult life being a fraudster and a scammer, and look where that got him.
#Crypto #Shitcoin #Trump

@mcnees
Let's everybody not-mine bitcoin starting IMMEDIATELY. I won't even send an invoice.
The environmental benefits would be tremendous

Worse than #CoinHive are only the #Shitcoin #Scammers known as #WorldCoin that basically try to sell a #security without #brokerage #license nor proper declarations of risks that also doubles as a #NFT / #Tracking - #Token...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&t=4792s

Given the silence by regulators like @BaFin in regards to WorldCoin and the continued existance of said Promo booth the saying: "#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContiue" is being exemplified here...

@SpaceLifeForm TBH, all #currency - even antique #metal #coins - is based off #fungibility.

• That's why #BurgerKing in #Germany accepted #USD and not just #Euro and would happily sell me a Cheeseburger for a $5 note just as with a €5 note ( they only exchanged in Euro but that's beyond the point).

The reason why I can't even buy fries with 5.000 KPW [North Korean Won] has nothing to do with North Korea, but entirely with the fact that noone wants that money.

• And that fungibility is why the #USD is even relevant and why the #Euro is stable: Because you can actualy buy shit with it.

#Gold, #Silver, #Platinum and even #Copper are not only inconvenient beyond small sums because they weight a lot but because their value sometimes fluctuates harder than #Monero and with the exception of Copper there had been Mass #Confiscations aka. state-based #theft of these per law.

• Therefore it's absurd to think that any metal- or other commodity-based currency could be established that would see actual use-case beyond being an expensive #Shitcoin aka. #SecuritiesFraud-based #Scam.

• The only reason #Bitcoin has any value is because #Billionaires and #Oligarchs use it to commit #TaxFraud and #CapitalFlight in order to have an #ExitStrategy left if or rather when their #Oligarchy - regardless if #Russia, "P.R." #China, #UK or #USA implodes to buy themselves in elsewhere as "#EconomicRefugees" or rather #fugitives in a juristiction that doesn't extradite them for their *"#WhiteCollarCrime".

• The only reason #Ethereum has any value is because it's the more "accessible" alternative to Bitcoin so mere #Millionaires can afford similar "#AssetProtection" strategies ...

• #Monero derives it's value not by having #Billions in on-paper-value locked in but entirely upon it's #fungibility and speed as a #PaymentSystem, beating #Hawala and #MoneyTransfer providers by so wide margins that it feels like #US-style #ACH Money Transfers getting steamrolled by #SEPA #WireTransfer: They ain't even in the same millenium!

So if you want to sell me on some #RareMetal #investment scheme: Please fuck off!

If not, disregard the last sentence...

Thanks.

@vfrmedia @Em0nM4stodon considering the fat that neither @bsi nor @BaFin even bother to ban the #biometrics-based #shitcoin #scam known as #WorldCoin, it seems unlikely we'll see any regulatory action...

But hope isn't lost yet - maybe consumer protection aka. @Bundesverband will.get some shit done?

@scalzi Jeopardy Answer: What is worse than bitcoin/shitcoin

@ErikUden *nodds inagreement*

Almost all #Cryptocurriencies are like #Bitcoin only good for #Scams...

The only non-#Shitcoin is #Monero because unlike Bitcoin the people behind that actually work towards making it an actually working payment system, resulting in payment fees being lower than on "traditional #finance" by a magnitude of 10 even in the worst conditions...

@tante yeah...

Let that #Shitcoin known as #Botcoin die for good!
And ideally all the other ones as well...

Cuz long-term only #Monero can and will survive...

@selzero People who shill #Shitcoins and have a #eth name on their profile are unbearably #cringe.

Needless to say that in the age of #dusting, this level of blatant self-doxxing will bite them in the rear more than anything...

Seriously, who in their right mind still shills for #Ethereum, #Bitcoin or any other #Shitcoin in the era of #Monero is beyond me.
