Some more whining about bitcoin’s lack of privacy
I am probably naive and stupid but I really do not give a shit about privacy and what the state says I am able to do. I do not ask for permission to spend my sats. I do my best to comply with their bullshit and take my chances. The more people that act this way the less power the state has to enforce their Orwellian regulations
You monero bros claim to be cypherpunks but are so worried about the state…
well, you should be worried.
Why? Because I don’t ask for permission from the state and don’t use some shady privacy coin?
I’m just a normal guy that is raising my family.
Government already steals plenty of money from me every paycheck
I consider myself fortunate to live in Miami surrounded by lots of immigrants from South America and Cuba that escaped communism and are not going to let it happen to them again
Privacy bolsters your ability to not ask permission from a more powerful force. It's an asymmetric advantage. If they know who you are and what you're doing they can use force to stop you. It's not about being "scared". Fearlessness plays no role in whether you can be stopped or not. It's not that difficult to understand.
Cypherpunks central focus was on privacy. It's ignorace or mental gymnastics to downplay that.
