Monero in 2025: Persistent Use and Emerging Network-Layer Insights | TRM Blog

Monero remains active in illicit finance. Explore its evolving darknet role, overall adoption, and new insights on its peer-to-peer network behavior.

: "Monero’s transaction activity has stabilized at a higher baseline, suggesting sustained demand and regular use rather than episodic or speculative spikes." And that line about "While Monero is designed to resist tracing, behavioral and structural patterns — including exchange interactions and wallet clustering — can still support actionable insights." Translation: USE TOR. RUN NODE. 👇

It seems X doesn't like free uncensored circular economies indeed...

Almost everything you’re seeing right now is intentionally designed to pull your attention away from what actually matters.

"all those anonymous people writing rebellious essays under pseudonyms in the newspapers are a threat to “national security”" *(Not to be taken as a compliment or endorsement!)

It's an interesting read on how the sausage (non-KYC cards) is made. TL;DR: they're business expense cards.

Welcome to 2026, where we don’t just have to follow the published rules: we have to submit to the AI’s unwritten imaginary ones too: the machines are judging us by vibes now, lol :))

One of the problems with using any VPN, for me personally, is that you must trust the provider not to log anything (and I trust no one!), and proving a negative (like claiming black swans don't exist just because you've never seen one) is practically impossible (ofc if you are not a theoretical logician, lol). I've been a bond holder / arbitrator with SimplifiedPrivacy.com for ~1.5 years (as discussed in my Substack post on trust and bonds in the P2P economy: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/on-trust-and-bonds-in-the-p2p-economy), and there have been zero bond claims or complaints so far. While I trust no one infinitely - and just as some infinities are larger than others - I distrust those who've consistently proven reliable a bit less. Therefore, when SP reached out, I saw it as a chance to learn how the sausages are made, so I'm now running a HydraVeil node in Sweden. You can become a HydraVeil community node operator too:

Tomorrow, anyone can wake up as a political dissident. The state IS a monopoly on violence and coercion. You think you don't need Monero and privacy today? It can all change overnight. Tools quietly built by non-compliant cypherpunks will be there when you're ready to resist.

Monero: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Fungible. Private by default. Non-compliant. Battle-tested. Act accordingly.
