I strongly urge every Bitcoiner to adopt Monero as a protective shield.

Bitcoinners are pussies 🫢
Won’t make a difference if Bitcoin fails. It may look like that for a while, but the writing will be on the wall for Monero too.
Without Monero, Bitcoin would have been attacked much more fiercely.
Bitcoin is now a piece of their puzzle. Bitcoin will not disappear, but will change over time what it means.
As long as it exists Monero can build strength in a parallel system.
Agree. Monero pulled some of the controllers attention away from Bitcoin due to its strong privacy properties. But so did Ethereum that pulled a lot of idiots towards their colourful fancy tech sandbox. Most crypto is useless, but some crypto is useful in that regard.
The charges against the samurai developers can be made against anyone running a Monero node.
Bitcoin isn't the solution. Monero isn't the solution. Helping people understand why privacy is essential to freedom and why freedom is essential to life, that is the solution.
The problem is that most people reject freedom. They want a strong authority (God/philosopher king) telling them how to live. The culture (movies, songs, books) enhances this by demphesising a altruistic morality.
How can a one hour conversation undo thousand of hours of subconscious and implicit indoctrination?
I don't see a solution. It's depressing
I don't think all jurisdiction will ban Monero nodes and Monero network already runs on i2p and onion.
But yes, at one point you want to gave an army of node runners that will defend their rights.
It's a race between bankrupting the state mafia before they win with their lawfare against freedom activists.
The US and the EU havy a history of forcing other states to ban things they don't like.
The sad thing is that the state doesn't have to pass laws to take away our freedoms. They delegated this to hundreds of agencies. Each of them trying to grow at the expense of our freedoms.
