In addition, the delistings of Monero from centralized exchanges played a very important role - it raised the "price" of XMR in the eyes of non-tech goys. Let me explain. Centralized exchanges = banks for crypto goys = part of the existing system = controlled by the state. If anyone believes that Brian Armstrong from Coinbase (or any other CEO of a CEX) is fighting for you and your freedom, think again. The purpose of delisting XMR from large centralized exchanges = to remove the ability for non-tech crypto goys to buy/sell XMR, because goys should not have access to an instrument such as XMR. But all this has led to non-tech goys simply appreciating XMR even more, which they receive for their goods/services. A simple example: I recently onboarded a new merchant to XMR. I explained to him the advantages of XMR over BTC, and explained to him how governments are fighting XMR, and that the Monero community uses XMR as a digital currency to directly purchase goods/services from other goys. Considering the fact that I helped him with Bitcoin (onchain + Lightning wallet) + EVM wallet (for stablecoins) and Monero wallet, he always chooses XMR and wants me to pay him in XMR. I also explained to him that the more merchants accept XMR, the stronger we are as ordinary people. I gave him the task of telling another person about XMR, helping them with Monero wallet, and buying goods/services with XMR. Nothing unusual, just practicing agorism. 😘

I think Monero should be banned.

I see that European goys have begun discussing the departure of ECB President Christine Lagarde. The other goys are happy that she might leave. [ i wanted to add something else, but i don't have the words ]

Why would I need Monero as an ERC20 token? // wXMR It's funny that after this post, two no-name accounts wrote to me on Telegram, accusing me of... *checking notes*... - "wanting to centralize Monero and destroy its default privacy". 🤦🏻‍♂️ I can't understand if someone forgot to take their pills or took too many... Personally, I need "wXMR" as ERC20 because I don't want to use centralized solutions, including small exchangers/swappers that, just like large centralized exchanges, steal money under the guise of fighting for democracy (AML scoring). And Ethereum (ERC20) is just an example. In fact, I want to have "wXMR" on different networks and on different DEXs on those networks, including Solana, Arbitrum, Plasma, Polygon, Avalanche, etc. If someone makes "wXMR" on Solana, that's great! I'll use it! Just like any other EVM network, provided that I don't have to provide a vaccination passport + gender passport + written permission from the state. The bridge code must be 100% open source so that I don't have to trust the bridge operator and so that I don't have to wonder when the state will come to the developers to explain how democracy works, or when the developer will decide to do a rug pull. All I need is a smart contract, 100% open source, so that anyone who wants to can create a beautiful web UI or terminal CLI (and add some % fee for their work) to interact with the logic of the bridge/smart contract directly: ✅ send 1 XMR (native) = to get 1 wXMR-ERC20; ✅ burn 1 wXMR-ERC20 = to get 1 XMR (native); Given the growing level of totalitarianism in the world, demand for XMR continues and will continue to grow. So, whoever creates such a bridge/smart contract after FCMP++ is activated and sets a fee for minting/burning "wXMR" will become a hero for the Monero community and beyond, as well as becoming very wealthy. On average, centralized exchanges charge 0.2% for spot trading. If the same 0.2% commission is set for the minting/burning of wXMR, it will be simply 🚀. Also, considering the number and development of DEXs with AMM, and that it will be possible to trade freely "wXMR / BOLD" and "wXMR / LUSD"... 😌 These thoughts have been on my mind for a very long time. The market needs wXMR. View quoted note →

Looking at the mental slavery of most people (even from the crypto community), I am not at all surprised by the fact that the state wipes its feet on its slaves. Most of these slaves will not even object, but will thank the state and ask for written permission to continue breathing.

What kind of moral cuckold would you have to be to believe in the sincerity of this man's words?

I don't live in Spain, but I like to stay up to date with political and financial news. Today I read a post about "What taxes feed the Spanish budget". By November 2025, €301.4 billion had been collected, which is +10% compared to last year. According to forecasts, total tax revenues will grow to 24.6% of GDP by the end of the year. The budget is based on three items: 💰salaries and self-employed (IRPF) = 44.2% 💰consumption (VAT) = 31.3% 💰company profits (IS) = 11.9% My attention was drawn to: consumption (VAT) + company profits (IS). I consume very little, but I want to consume even less. Here's the plan: 1) I'll write down separately how much VAT the government will steal from me in February; 2) March 1 - I'll buy XMR for that amount to force myself to consume less; Just an experiment. :)

After FCMP++ is activated, I am eagerly waiting for someone to create a permissionless + immutable "wXMR" (as ERC20 token). The market demand is obvious to the naked eye.

Yes, I understand the risks. Yes, I understand the risks very well. I hope that the developer also understands the risks and what happened to those who provided access to Monero spot trading without KYC (hello and bye-bye TradeOgre). I wish the project success.

Delicious coffee and cheese pancakes, paid for with Monero, lift my mood for the whole day. 😌
