Blockchains such as Bitcoin are the perfect panopticon for the technocracy that states are implementing. That's why #Monero

Algorithm (Noun): A magic word used by programmers when they don't want to explain what they did, and a universal excuse used by influencers when no one likes their photos. Basically, it's an opinion dressed up as mathematics so that you don't dare to argue with it.

There is no doubt now, the race is on. Bitcoin is seeking to become the largest institutional asset. Are you happy? Would Satoshi be happy?

Lately, as AI is increasingly used for everyone, anyone who lacks the practice of critical thinking and writing skills, reads my posts, and instead of debating the content and trying to refute my rationale, they say this 👇 PS: I made this image with AI, boludo! (search with AI what boludo means!)

What is Conspiracy? The official definition, according to the Oxford English Dictionary: "An agreement between two or more persons to do something criminal, illegal, or reprehensible (especially in relation to treason, sedition, or murder); a plot." The revisionist definition: "A term used to discredit anyone who notices a pattern in real-time, effectively distinguishing them from historians, who are paid to notice the same pattern fifty years later."

My main interest has always been research and analysis to learn from history, and to understand the present to anticipate the future: Sci-Facts ChatGPT was publicly launched on November 30, 2022. I published this article more than a year before AI became widely known.

I've said it a thousand times: my goal isn't to convince anyone. My purpose is to educate by promoting critical thinking. I don't make a living as an analyst or writer, publishing articles or my book. I'm not driven by money on social media. My game is different. I present my research, cross-reference hard and verifiable data, and put my analysis on the table to anticipate what's coming, to make you think. I'm interested in freedom in every sense. Freedom and privacy will be a luxury for a few in the world to come. I'm not selling revealed truths or looking for followers; I'm simply sharing signals amidst the noise. Take the data, ignore the rest. In this jungle of notifications, stress is optional, and I choose to opt out. You won't see me wasting energy on endless threads. My rule is simple: a two-reply debate, then I move on. Time is the scarcest asset. I present my research, cross-reference hard and verifiable data, and put my analysis on the table to anticipate what's coming, to make you think. The current drama between #Monero and #Zcash is high-octane fuel for the crowd, but I keep my pulse low. While others scream, I observe the background, the hidden structure of incentives, and the logic of the system. Understanding the "why" gives you an edge that fanaticism takes away. It’s not personal; it’s purely market and privacy analysis. I fully support the Monero philosophy as a privacy tool, but I am not a blind XMR soldier. I have pointed out criticisms on various topics and have earned "maxis" blocks for daring to think outside the dogma. Let's be clear: I am not married to a ticker or a community. I'm a maximalist only of freedom.

ZCASH: THE TROJAN HORSE OF THE NEW TECHNOCRACY #Zcash is not the cypherpunk refuge they sell you; it is the Trojan horse of modern #technocracy. Read my analysis and then draw your own conclusions. The toxic alliance between tech oligarchs and politicians is not about financial freedom; it's about shaping society. Do you think it is an escape tool? It is a well-funded trap. They have two weapons for deception: money as bait and Cypherpunk privacy marketing The bait is classic but effective: Venture Capital (VC) money pouring in to pump the price. The unsuspecting see green candles and enter, blinded by greed, without seeing what's behind. They use financial speculation, so you ignore that you are buying disguised surveillance. Then there's all the hype about cypherpunk privacy, like those who sell "Che Guevara" t-shirts, and most people don't know who this Argentinian was, but it's trendy. Let's understand the deep game: technocracy is based on social engineering. For central planners to "optimize" the herd, they need constant inputs. That input is your information. Without mass surveillance and access to your data, their capacity for control crumbles. In this scheme, there are two major obstacles the system needs to demolish: absolute privacy and critical thinking. The sovereign individual, the one who questions and hides, is a bug in the state Matrix. They need docile users distracted by price, not free citizens. Regulators know they cannot impose a total panopticon without resistance. They need to dissimulate. Zcash is functional to this lie: it gives you the illusion of privacy, but it is designed to be permeable when the State orders it. It is the "privacy" the system tolerates because it holds the keys. Pay attention to the coming years. Regulations on Zcash will make evident what it is: "privacy with permission." The VC business model needs compliance to survive. And if you have to ask for permission to be private, you don't have rights, you have revocable concessions. Don't confuse tools of freedom with assets inflated by corporate marketing. Technocracy advances when you lower your guard chasing the pump. True resistance is code that doesn't sell out to VCs. Open your eyes: either you are sovereign, or you are a source of liquidity for the oligarchs. Always DYOR

INTELLECTUAL HONESTY IS NOT FOR SALE It's valid to defend your interests and your own money. It's valid to debate to show your point of view to your interlocutor, always with respect. But what is the limit of that defense? Intellectual honesty, necessary for critical thinking. When your interests are bought, and your job consists of promoting a system, a cryptocurrency, or another service, it ceases to be intellectual honesty and becomes professional lobbying. That's what an influencer is, a professional lobbyist. Even if they're not convinced of what they're defending, they'll do it anyway because they're paid. The money they earn from their promotions diminishes their honesty. Look for them on social media; they're everywhere. You may or may not be interested in what I post, in my articles, or in my book; you may agree or disagree, but no one can ever say that I lack intellectual honesty, and that goes far beyond being right. I defend Monero, but I've also criticized it and pointed out vulnerabilities based on my analysis. Visit my website liberlion.com and you will see my personal Manifesto. Maximalist only of freedom.

It's unfortunate to see how some members of the Zcash community attack #Monero. As privacy coins, they should be on the same side, right? If you're looking for #privacy, you want to have alternatives. Unless you see it as an investment business, in which case other coins in your segment are competition and not an ecosystem of freedom. In my opinion, I see Zcash as a Trojan horse for the banking establishment and regulators, as a direct consequence. It is a honeypot in the crypto privacy ecosystem.

The debate between left and right, communism and capitalism, Democrats and Republicans, dictatorship and democracy, is a strategy to keep you within the system. The real discussion is between anarchism and statism.

Tool allows stealthy tracking of Signal and WhatsApp users through delivery receipts

A new tool named Device Activity Tracker exposes a privacy flaw in WhatsApp and Signal that lets attackers covertly monitor user activity.

💥Breaking news! After years of chain analysis and of the funds in the blockchain attributed to him, the narrative style in the white paper and on BitcoinTalk, and the tracking of intellectual property... THE IDENTITY OF SATOSHI NAKAMOTO HAS FINALLY BEEN CONFIRMED! Decentralization was just the testing phase. The narrative falls apart. .| .| .| .V The real CEO of Bitcoin. Welcome to institutional adoption.

In a noisy world, your silence is the only data that tech oligarchs cannot process: it is the only encryption they cannot crack. Do not reveal confidential personal information. Measure your words; the wind carries them away, but the algorithm of centralized apps captures them.

The dogma of the first part of the century was: 'Not your keys, not your coins.' In the coming decade, the mantra will be: 'Not your thoughts, not your mind.' Welcome to the Neuralink era. Transhumanist vibes.

Tip #5 No Labels: Strip your car and laptop of stickers regarding schools, politics, or family; do not broadcast a profile of your habits or vulnerabilities to strangers. liberlion.com/privacy

ANALOG REBELS IN DIGITAL TIMES. THEY WERE BORN TOO SOON. If Lysander Spooner, Henry David Thoreau, and Samuel Edward Konkin III were alive in 2025, they wouldn't use banks or touch Bitcoin. They would laugh at KYC and embrace a single tool. For them, privacy wasn't a “feature,” it was the only form of resistance. Let's see why they would choose $XMR. -Lysander Spooner: The Enemy of the State. For him, the government was literally a band of robbers. He challenged the postal monopoly to prove that the state was unnecessary. Today: He would use Monero not for business, but to nullify monetary authority. If the state controls your money, it owns you. Monero takes that power away. His logic: “The constitution has no authority.” $XMR is anarchy in code. -Henry David Thoreau: The Fiscal Ghost. He was imprisoned for not financing the state with his taxes. Today: I wouldn't just go to a booth, but I would be walking the streets with a non-custodial wallet. Cash is devalued, and banks are snitches for the state. For Thoreau, modern civil disobedience is financial. His “Walden” today would be a Monero seed phrase: unreachable and invisible. -Samuel Konkin III (SEK3): The Shadow Architect. The father of Agorism and counter-economics. Today: He would consider Bitcoin and its public ledger to be the IRS's wet dream. Doing counter-economics on a transparent blockchain? No way. Konkin would choose Monero because it is the only technology that fulfills the agorist promise: undetectable commerce and zero accountability. These guys dreamed of tools that didn't exist in their time. We are lucky to have them at our fingertips. Spooner, Thoreau, and Konkin wouldn't ask for permission. They would use $XMR and let the system do the talking. Freedom is not asked for; it is exercised.

Spooner vs. Thoreau: Two sides of the same coin. Lysander Spooner (the lawyer) stayed in the city, using cold "legal logic" to try and declare the State unconstitutional. Henry David Thoreau (the philosopher) retreated to the woods, appealing to "moral conscience" to reject the State.
