A bit hyperbole headline, but good to hear that GNU Taler got some NGI funding.

Love GNU software stack, but they’re about 15 years too late on this one.
Bitcoin can:
Each year it gets easier to use, gains more users, increases market cap, and generally adoption continues to grow.
Bitcoin is an entirely different thing, it’s really comparing apples with oranges.
It’s a medium to transfer funds from one place to another. It’s solving the same problem a different way.
No, you misunderstood what GNU Taler is.
It is a digital cash standard for existing currencies and banks. It’s not even the same category as Bitcoin.
It’s like using a credit card to pay for a drink vs doing a gold transfer.
Taler is anonymous to payer where Bitcoin transations are public, not wasteful for electrical power (https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption), almost instant and currency agnostic. Taler could also do BTC payments too.
