No one here is proclaiming that…
Plz take that back to REddit where you found it.
Right?
So, like, do something then??
It’s a good philosophy but that’s just it. Crypto should’ve remained closeto it’s philosophical roots.
The government legalizing manipulation of crypto by making them “assets” ruined any real implementation by tethering it to the fiat currencies. So crypto is now a moot point sadly that doesn’t retain it’s original anarchist intentions.
I know a lot about Monero and Ring Token technology. Used it plenty. Doesn’t matter. Still tied to fiat and manipulation by proxy. Even if private. What’s the real issue with this tethering you ask?
Authoritarian Control
Governmental overreach being able to examine any of your accounts and almost see a one-to-one with your deposits is a red flag. No, they cant see the amounts on the other end (Monero’s private ledger). But all security is an illusion, especially for the now government backed tech like this. Eventually Ring tech will be broken by AI, ML, Quantum, or many. Plus, the exchange reports your purchases and sells that data too (legally now).
Even if you use LocalMonero and do it in-person, you have IP Addresses (bc no VPNs usually), messages between seller and buyer, and purchase amounts potentially all under the authority of private entities. Unless you’ve some serious connections.
All the government has to do is make it illegal to participate in crypto at all and now it becomes dead tech again (for better or worse).
Thank you for your input though! Not trying to be defeatist or an alarmist. Just a clarification on my opinions of where the hypothetical train went off the rails.
Are we even tracking their work Tickets for progress? /s
Yasser, let the darkness consume y’all
I get it philosophically, but…
crypto = no underlying value (unless it was a 1:1 ratio with some measurement of electricity like a bond almost, ideally being a unit of energy we exchange unto itself)
so for now…
money = government
Plus, we’d need someway to independently run, manage, and maintain an autonomous system outside of the government controlled infrastructure. Which, unless we make serious energy/education/resource breakthroughs is not going to happen anytime soon sadly.
i blame Russia

A light wrist slapping. Bad boy! Get in timeout.
“By refusing to publicly disclose such transactions, Thomas made it impossible for watchdog groups to alert tax-enforcement officials about the potential issue in real time.”
How does a "public servant" get to just choose to not release financial transactions?
Mind-boggling
Uhh yeah you can…
Mandatory 2FA with phone and password retry count. If it’s targeted using breach data of email/passwords then the 2FA should still stop the majority…
acting like a bunch of kids

Hey we’re both the assholes of the world, there’s enough room for two on this throne
Should we call this “blind-eye economics”? I just kinda like the sound of it lol

Couple this with Hawaii’s new research that Lunar cycles will make coastal tides larger for the next 10-15 years starting around mid-2030s*…
