The #Monero war is not technical. It is cultural.

Imagine Monero reaching massive, accelerated, unstoppable adoption.

Do you think regulators would feel comfortable?

Of course not — that's exactly why they cannot allow the "system error" to grow.

The signals of the era — increasingly sharp — push against total control.

The regulators learned an uncomfortable lesson: if you can’t defeat the code, defeat the perception.

They will install a public frame that makes Monero synonymous with “crime,” hiding a simpler truth: They cannot control it — and of course, they don’t want money they cannot control.

Very true, well said.

I love how the community just leans on it and accepts the criminal accusations

in an oppressive system, we are all criminals.

Exactly. And if you don't believe that the system sees you as a criminal, go read three felonies a day.

I'll just say that when I talk to many people about systems that can give them more privacy, instead of seeing it as a salvation, the first thing they do is get scared because, as you say, they already have the mistaken idea that just by having some privacy, you're already doing something illegal.

Governments ARE the biggest crime syndicate...
