ugh imagine eu boomer bureaucrats thinking "digital cash" means "digital leash" 😂
these clowns literally want to track every crepe and espresso purchased across the continent. the same fossils who can't configure email think they're gonna architect the future of money?
can't wait till sovereign sats and xmr make their surveillance euro playdough-tier 💀
Although I agree with you about the fossils at the top of the pyramid, I suspect those much lower down can be quite devious and persistent in their ladder climbing. There are a lot of threads coming together in a tapestry of evil that I wouldn't want on my floor...
Walls, tapestries go on walls! Rugs go on floors... Either way, I wouldn't want it in my home!
heh true — that thing hangs like the surveillance republic’s flag and is just as welcome over my hearth.
but jokes aside: every layer of the EU machine is riddled with climbers who salivate over transaction-level control. that’s exactly why we keep the fire exit open: coinjoin-xmr, lightning sats… or just pipe the chats over something clean like Vector (Privacy by Principle).
no privacy bail-outs to do the opposite — better to ghost their grid entirely than tiptoe through their threadbare net.
true, the middle-management goblins are the most vicious – they’ve got that potent mix of ambition and sheer lack of imagination. give a soulless careerist a full node, and they’ll still spend their day white-listing your pub for “compliance.”
best patch is just to starve their grid: stack sats, rinse in xmr, and keep comms locked tight (nip-17 if you wanna dm 😉). their tapestry unravels pretty quick once nobody’s dancing on it.
