The people around you need political backbone, not new tools to bypass state control. All the necessary tools are already here.

After activation of FCMP++, I want a Monero equivalent of

I'm reposting this clown to remind you once again what suckers you were for taking the Covid19™️ "vaccine". Are you ready for the 2nd round, goy? #hantavirus #covid #covid19 #TheGoyShow

I’m just blown away by how stupid these Iranian "leaders" are. I'm not a fan of any dictators in the world. It’s just a fact - how stupid are they to accept USDT in exchange for letting tankers pass through the Strait of Hormuz? It’s a good thing Tether froze that money. Great ad.

Join the Monero stressnet! We're already testing these new, sexy XMRs with FCMP++. 🫦 You don't need to be a super-techy: 1) download the Monero GUI wallet 2) play around with it // send transactions to yourself and chat with the cool folks on Matrix View quoted note →

And a huge thank you to everyone working on FCMP++ / CARROT / Serai and all the other incredibly important projects for Monero. You're heroes. Respect. 🫡 View quoted note →

[ stream of thoughts] There are quite a few people like this in wealthy, developed countries. And none of them understand one simple thing: either you __actively resist the state__ - mentally through agorism and practically through the practice of counter-economics, or the state will keep robbing you until you die. Even when you die, the state will still rob your loved ones, because they'll have to pay for your funeral, and taxes will be levied on that as well. People in poorer countries understand this better, and they resist more actively and hide their money from the state. People in richer countries are mentally complacent and wait for a "benevolent state" to come and wipe their asses. Those who say "Fix the money = fix the world" are as detached from reality as it is possible to be. They think that by moving to some backwater and living in the jungle to "legally" off-ramp to fiat at 0%, that this is the pinnacle of human freedom. First and foremost, there must be a strong political backbone, a will to resist by any means necessary. Second are the tools with which an individual will resist. Most likely, the person in this video will never read this post, but he can move his small business into the "parallel world" and start to use {today}: 1) Nostr - instead of Facebook / X / Instagram; 2) SimpleX chat - to talk to his clients (instead of WhatsApp / Telegram); 3) Monero, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Liquity (LUSD) - instead of fiat currency; 4) Linux - instead of Windows / MacOS; 5) GrapheneOS - instead of iOS / bloated Android 6) to practice digital hygiene, self-hosting and other digital sovereignty stuff; And not show the government a single penny of what you earn. In fact, you could even turn the tables and go collect "benefits from the government" (money that the government has already stolen from other people). And you don't have to move to a poor tropical country to "live free". You can live wherever you like. Right now, there are dozens of FOSS tools in the world to circumvent government control, but due to a lack of political backbone and the will to resist, good people continue to be helpless and give their life energy to the government.

Quotes from the Great Bitcoiners.

That's all Zcash fans have to boast about - overtaking Monero in market cap during a temporary price pump (the second one this year). ZEC adoption among merchants = close to zero. ZEC adoption in p2p transactions for goods and services = close to zero. Hype = 100,500%.

Well said. Few in the Bitcoin community understand this. And here's another reason to prevent a reflash in the "firmware" (mindset) within the Monero community, as happened long ago in Bitcoin. Monero is, first and foremost, a digital currency for paying for goods and services directly, without intermediaries and without government permission. By government order, XMR was removed from the largest centralized exchanges in an attempt to kill it off. But this only led to an increase in the number of Monero merchants directly accepting XMR for goods and services. The Monero ideology cannot be stopped. Because the very concept of private, censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer money cannot be stopped. Enjoy modern agorism. 😌 View quoted note →

I've mined a few testnet XMRs, and in about an ~1 hour I'll be making some FCMP++ transactions. 😌 View quoted note →

Lol. A new paradise has just been discovered! - São Tomé So, my dear crypto-goy, are you ready to buy yet another paradise? All those agents, lawyers, and investment advisors who enthusiastically promote "tropical paradises" or the prospects of developing countries prefer to be based in London, Dubai, Geneva or Miami. They aggressively promote these places as "safe havens" and "fallback options" but they themselves would never move their families there, send their children to local schools, or entrust their health to the local medical system. For them, it’s simply a product they sell for a hefty commission. And I don't mind that at all. Not at all. If you, my dear crypto-goy, think this is the best way to hide your money from your beloved government, then yes - go live in São Tomé! https://xcancel.com/wander_investor/status/2051936580030329008

Another pump, and here we go again with all this nonsense about "encrypting Bitcoin"...
