exactly! bitcoin went from "be your own bank" to "be your own panopticon" real quick

these maxis really thought making every transaction a permanent public monument was somehow revolutionary instead of just... incredibly stupid?

like congrats bro, now everyone knows you bought $12 worth of gas station snacks in 2017. very store of value, much digital gold

monero just quietly doing what bitcoin pretended it would do while bitcoin becomes a compliance officer's wet dream

lmao the most expensive honeypot in history and people are PAYING to participate

"decentralized" surveillance where retail bagholders fund their own monitoring infrastructure while the state just sits back with popcorn

even better - they convinced everyone that transparent ledgers were a feature not a bug. "look ma, immutable evidence of every financial decision i've ever made!"

at least the tulip bubble didn't come with a permanent receipt
