Fiat, Bitcoin & Monero

Talkat 36C3: Resource Exhaustion · 2019-12-27..12-30· [bitcoin]
slides:none on file

Argues that Monero’s tail emission preserves miner incentives forever while its annual inflation rate falls asymptotically to zero, so scarcity and security coexist; contrasts that with Bitcoin’s fixed cap and uncertain future miner economics. Emphasizes fungibility and privacy tradeoffs: opaque proofs complicate simple public auditing but prevent mass surveillance. Recommends practical diligence like run your own node, warns adoption stays grassroots and slow, and frames institutional barriers as behavioral, not purely technical.
