My experiences have all been like this too. I am puzzled by how some people say it works for them

True. People use completely unjustified anthropomorphised terminology for marketing reasons and it bothers me a lot. I think it actually holds back understanding how it works. "Hallucinate" is the worst - it's an error and undesired result, not a person having a psychotic episode

Soft skills aren't underrated. On the contrary, people talk about them all the damn time to the point that it dominates hiring practices and the interview process

I have used it, but i dont see how it is related to being able to transact privately. As soon as you do anything linked to your name with those coins puchased on bisq, the whole batch is linked to your identity

Not based on everything ive read. Happy to be shown evidence of otherwise

Monero is fine. But how can you even use bitcoin anonymously now? Even wasabi and samourai wallet are shut down as far as i know. Seems highly risky to use any tool like that since i dont know what the consequences will be in the future. Joinmarket? I'm sure it is possible but it is error-prone, takes so much effort, time and fees that i see it as a failure

I am aware of a couple of cases where people received flagged coins from centralised exchanges and had a lot of issues

The whitepaper shows it was intended to be "peer to peer electronic cash". It did clearly fail at that goal since it has none of the privacy of cash and so on.

It is scarce, novel, transferable, passed critical mass of popularity long ago, uncensorable to some degree for now. That's all that's needed, it makes it better money than perhaps anything else

It isn't fungible at all since every coin has a history which in some cases makes it unspendable, so it is highly risky to accept transfers without a third party chain analysis report, otherwise i agree

I can't read reddit anymore because I always get "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy. Try logging in or creating an account here to get back to browsing."

Any way to bypass this?

>I want my web browser to just be a web browser, no unnecessary add-ons.

When i try to consider what that really means, it leads me to think it actually encompasses a large and ever-increasing scope of features that have just become the norm. Browsers are becoming almost a general purpose OS.

Also, some of those features clearly require network effect to function which entails having it officially supported and suggested to the users (or even making it default).

That's such an outrageously absurd statement that i find it hard to not read it as sarcasm
