Snowden was shitting on #monero cause he was a paid shill for Zcash (short for zogged cash)
Discussion
Snowden is an agent. The whole thing was a failed op to get him close to Putin but Putin knows the game too well so he let Snowden in then let him live in squalor
Hah, I thought last night. He's a CIA asset living in Moscow: Snow Den
Controlled opposition for sure. But I was surprised how sloppy he was with Zcash. Used a pseudonym, but somehow it got publicized.
A better question is why is he an expert? He's a fucking lamer noob who never contributed anything to the field.
Yea everything about him and the story around him is off. Western intel can find a random jihadi in the mountains of Afghanistan and fire a missile up his ass, but Snowden, the most wanted traitor, moved from nation to nation all while being in regular commication with Greenwald? Sure why not. And ever notice all the privacy stuff he recommends all has DARPA or In-Q-tel roots. Never suggests true, independent, FOSS software, just tor and signal
I didn't follow his recommendations much. Which ones you think were off? Graphene I agree. Signal, kinda agree. Tor, sure why not. Qubes, nah, too slow. Zcash, get out.
He just seemed very persistent on signal and tor more than anything. I actually never really listened to anything he was ever speaking at or on, just things Ive seen in passing. But its almost always some centralized shit with shady origins
