🚨 Heads up! There’s a DNS traffic leak on Android even with VPN on. Despite enabling “Always-on VPN” and “Block connections without VPN”, plaintext DNS traffic leaks outside the VPN tunnel.

A third of your earnings are stolen from you and you accept it so you don't end up in prison.

Less governments.

Less wars.

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can’t stop.”

Hayek, 1984

Money must serve humans, not governments.

“DATA OBFUSCATION OF CRYPTOCURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: While the majority of cryptocurrencies’ transactions, addresses, blocks, timestamps and other data are publicly visible in blockchains, some cryptocurrencies obscure such visibility. These cryptocurrencies are generally referred to as privacy coins, of which Monero, Zcash and Grin are examples. Monero, introduced in 2014, is the most commonly used privacy coin. Despite its privacy features, Monero has not overtaken Bitcoin in popularity amongst criminals. This may be the case due to the higher liquidity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Also, Monero has been delisted at many exchanges because the origins of funds cannot be determined, which leads to a lack of compliance with anti-money laundering rules.”

“Privacy coins like Monero build privacy into their protocols, hiding the identities of the sender, the receiver and even the money being sent.”

Regulators flag high risks of crypto for money laundering due to anonymity and cross-border use.

To conceal their true motives—gaining more control and increasing tax revenue—they argue that it’s about combating money laundering and terrorism financing. We know that terrorists are often financed, trained, and utilized by secret services funded by tax money.
