When Bitcoiners cite the Austrian School, they have failed to grasp its core principles. x.com/tb358de/status/2065066…

Bitcoin maximalism in a nutshell: "Fiat is worthless." Yet success is measured every day by how many units of fiat a single Bitcoin costs. "Never sell" ultimately means: Feeling rich because others are offering more fiat than they did yesterday.

Erst wenn das letzte Auto am Straßenrand verstummt, die Firmentore endgültig verriegelt sind, die Heizkörper kalt und der Kühlschrank nur noch gähnende Leere zeigt – erst wenn der Hunger die Kinder nachts weinen lässt und die Familie schlaflos in der Dunkelheit liegt – werden die Letzten begreifen: Sie haben viel zu lange zugesehen. Sie haben zugesehen, wie die Grundlagen dessen, was ein Leben lebenswert macht, still und systematisch zerlegt wurden. Sie haben zugesehen, wie Fleiß bestraft, Leistung verhöhnt und Verantwortung zur Last erklärt wurde. Sie haben zugesehen, wie die Lichter einer ganzen Zivilisation langsam, aber unaufhaltsam erloschen – und haben geschwiegen, weil es bequemer war, den Blick abzuwenden. Erst wenn die eigene Not sie endlich erreicht, wenn die abstrakten Warnungen zu bitterer, greifbarer Wirklichkeit geworden sind, werden sie verstehen, dass sie selbst, durch ihr langes Schweigen, durch ihre Feigheit vor der Wahrheit und ihre Bereitschaft, sich täuschen zu lassen, den Untergang mit ermöglicht haben.

The Bitcoin bull market is long over, and no amount of wishful thinking can bring it back. Most people don't seem to have realized it yet. The party is over. The desperate attempts to sugarcoat the situation are truly remarkable.

When conviction is treated as foresight, you don’t need arguments anymore. Only followers. x.com/Bitcoin_Teddy/status/2…

The Austrian School argued for competing currencies. Bitcoin maximalism argues for a final one. That’s not intellectual alignment — it’s selective interpretation.

When every expert “knows” it only goes up, you’re usually not in a new paradigm. You’re in a familiar phase of the cycle. Dot-com déjà vu.

When your entire public identity is built on one thesis, you don’t just have a position anymore. You have a prison. For Saylor, going back is no longer an option — even if doubts exist.

Das Telefon-Festnetz hatte den Netzwerkeffekt. Nokia hatte den Marktanteil. Yahoo hatte die Nutzer. MySpace hatte die Community. Alle galten als uneinholbar. Die Geschichte ist ein Friedhof voller Gewissheiten. Warum sollte Bitcoin anders sein?

Saylor-Krankheit: Wenn aus "Ich könnte Recht haben" ein "Ich kann nicht falsch liegen" wird. Das ist der Moment, in dem Investoren zu Bagholdern werden.

Privacy is becoming a luxury. Rich people use trusts, shell companies, family offices, Swiss banks Poor people get Venmo and transparent blockchains. Financial privacy has always existed, it's just never been available to everyone. Epic Cash – unique digital asset simultaneously offering: Exceptional Privacy Functionality from not storing user addresses and user balances on the blockchain, creating complete lack of attribution even in post quantum world. Sound tokenomics of fixed supply cap, fair launch, and extremely accessible mining that utilizes CPUs and GPUs of Gaming and Business Personal Computers. Independently verifiable supply integrity of Epic Cash as a whole, while completely preserving individual account privacy. Better than Bitcoin, Better than Monero, Much Better than Zcash - #EpicCash

Agree with you on many points, and Privacy Crypto is still Alpha as far as crypto is concerned. Zcash exploit, the way it was handled, and the way they are trying to deflect onto other projects is definitely suspicious. Our approach to privacy is effective and antifragile due to its minimalism - Epic Cash simply does not store user addresses and balances on the blockchain. By doing this we achieve a very lean sub 5GB blockchain (in almost 6 years running), total privacy that is also retroactive which can not be said about Monero and Zcash. Even in post quantum supremacy there is literally no attributable user data on our blockchain. We believe that our simple approach to privacy reduces attack surfaces, as opposed to those who rely on excessive obfuscation like Monero, or moon math and centralized turnstile control gates of Zcash. In term of economic opportunities, the likelihood of Epic going x10 - x100 is much higher than Zcash, Monero or Bitcoin.
