@thunderbird 9% tx fees for a debit card donation is why we have #bitcoin and the #LightningNetwork, the latter of which has per-tx fees very close to zero, especially for small payments like this.
I'd love to pay for my email and calendar software, but I'm not going to pay banks and U.S. finance corporations as much as feudal lords extracted from peasants in the middle ages for doing so. Please accept open-source money for your open-source software!
@raucao @thunderbird bitcoin fees are insane, the chain is useless as a payment system, Monero is what everyone is migrating to, the true digital cash
@nosat I specifically said Lightning Network, and yet you chose to ignore it. Also, fees for the main chain are not insane for what it does. Please educate yourself before jumping into a conversation with false information and altcoin shilling.
@raucao LN is accepted nowhere useful
what if I need to add funds to LN, I have to wait a month
to have a useful L2 you need a functioning L1
BTC has failed, time to use something else
@nosat You want to keep telling me how what I'm using almost every day is not working for me? Really? Cool story, bro! 👍
I see that so often in so many contexts.
It's like reality just doesn't matter any more to so many people. They know what story they want to tell, and they'll tell it not only ignoring whether what they're saying is true, but even more importantly, apparently not even caring if their audience will know what they're saying isn't true.
I completely understand someone pushing an agenda using rhetoric that might not be completely true. I don't approve of it, but at least I understand the urge.
But to try to convince people without considering whether they might immediately see through the fib?
Well, I guess that's at least less dangerous for the audience.
