You are not a rootless, soulless, cultureless, familyless, historyless, homeless, atheist, cosmopolitan, globalist nobody. They will do anything to feed you that idea with their slob news, slob music, slob movies, slob food and contra fact history. "They" are the transnational rootless criminals. Embrace real culture, real history, real music, real food and old movies. There is nothing to be ashamed of, only things to be proud of no matter where you live.

We are steadily moving in to a time where specialists and high degrees have 0 value. But, generalists who have rejected anyone's approval will triumph. The bots produced by schooling, has been made obsolete by AI and the grounded, independent, self aware, curious, critical thinking individual will succeed.

You really don't have to recognize their authority. It all starts by not giving away your voice/vote every fourth year or so. Respect is something to be earned.

Nostr is not the problem. It is the client side. If the users were more coordinated in funding clients like @ɱonstr and @Amethyst things would be on the right track. Currently it seems to be only Mossad/Israel affiliated funding (as most mediums).

ANY registered organization (incl. NGO's) has to and WILL comply with the law of the land, regardless if these laws are made up by the Epstein Class. That also applies to organizations such as Mozilla, Letsencrypt and Signal. Never, Ever fall for the illusion that they would act outside the law to protect you as a user.

Being excluded from the existing financial system (with exception of a few manipulative CEX's). We see the effect of real supply and demand of a difficult-to-obtain currency. All desperate attempts of media blackout, fud, majority attacks, exclusion, delisting, outlawing has not worked. Would opening the floodgates to leveraged shortsighted investor capital ever have done any good to monero? EU's banning of privacy coins (and soon noncustodial coins) would have given xmr a big dump. The attempt to take over the project from influential powers, the price manipulation etc. in exchange for a relative stable and organic adoption distributed out to the real users of the currency. As long as you didn't opt-in on a peak, you would actually have done pretty well holding xmr. Considering monero is not an actual investment, it is just a reasonable currency.

If I buy crypto noncustodial, I have to pay >50 % tax on gains, when i off-ramp/change wallet/swap/buy anything with these cryptos if they've appreciated in value since I bought them. If I have another wallet, where the coin has depreciated I can not deduct the loss from my above gain. So, where I live multiple people have been bankrupted by buying and selling crypto, unaware of the tax laws in their country. If I bought an crypto ETF I would only pay ≈ 25% and my loss would be deductible. Just consider that sentiment structure for brief moment...

When you start out your Travel service accepting Crypto, BTC and one day open up for Monero payments, you are suddenly in real business. Expanding with Concierge service, Luxury cars... ShopinBit.com, May 2026:

Don't let you emotions and sudden gambling instinct run off with you. These two 10yr charts should make things clear for you. In particular if you also include all the fundamentals. #xmr

At some point in life you realize that you are playing a loosing game, one you were never supposed to win - No matter your best efforts, extreme sacrifices, top grades, high morals, total loyalty. Some people see this in advance and refuses to play along. Others pity them selves about this fact on their deathbed, alone in a nursing home.

You get a feeling that they want to figure out a way to prevent citizens from flying (escaping). From the rigorous security checks at airport (which shouldn't really be different than at a bus stop). Then the green agenda with additional carbon taxes on flights and ostracizing of people traveling. Then the Covid scamdemic, with vaccination pass, cancelled flight, travel bans etc. Then now a deliberate self inflicted oil crisis, there flight is mentioned as the first thing to be cut.. You know something bad is coming and you know they will prevent your movement.

At some point the creditors will start to cash in. At that point you will realize that all your financial assets were hot air 1/200-800 supported in real money. That's how you know Monero and physical gold will save your ass from the rest of the herd. #monero #xmr

People put a lot of value into where they cast their vote every fourth year. But, who they give their hard earned dollars, is not given a lot of consideration.

People will look surprised when the huge unpayable debt of western nations bursts. 'The Great Taking' will not be about FIAT hyperinflation. It will be about total control as mentioned by several members of the WEF throughout time, 'You will own nothing and be happy'. It is all your assets including your house, pension, stocks. You are the cattle in the food chain and confiscation of private property has already been occurring, the legal framework is in place. They have basically already taken away your privacy, your rights, your constitution, the truth. The so-called one-world-government has been a well documented 1000 year old dream and they are pushing on all fronts now (including AI). Only what you can hide, they can not take. Gold and Crypto. #xmr #monero

You kind of cheer with hesitation in regards to the partnership between Motorola and GrapheneOS. Hopefully GrapheneOS will end up being recognized by powerful institutions like governments (apps) and get NFC with CC implemented. Not, being a "rooted" device clearly has it's benefits. But, partnership with a big commercial entity may also come with the price of "legal" compliance measures from secret societies and agencies. I really hope that this will not erode the security model over time and that the escape hatch is still intact if it does.

The idea that the monero community should not HODL or use Monero as a store of value. I really have a hard time understanding. 1. The whole idea of deflation seems very constructed (by the FED's who have vested interest in printing money). Yes, if there is rampant deflation you may delay your unnecessary expenditures till later. 2. If xmr = USD 400 or USD 4000 really don't mean anything in relation to spending or affecting the underlying FIAT value of a produce. 3. I would much rather have the community and individuals to HODL up a high price, for nefarious actors or hostile market manipulators to take over. They will create volatility, pumps and dumps so the price setting your goods will be more problematic, not individuals with noncustodial wallets. 3. It hasn't become easier over time to obtain monero. I don't see that on-ramping in five years would make you look less suspicious than today. When enrolling normie's and newcomers, YOU may be their only realistic option to on-ramp with a cash payment. 4. I would rather have an excess of xmr and be able to help out friends of family that may be in need one day (It could be leaving the country or buying meds the doctor will not proscribe them, or just purchases or donations that could hurt them in their public or private affairs). 5. You get your salary in FIAT and they sit in a savings account inflating wildly. Isn't the goal of xmr not to be "digital cash"? #xmr #monero
