A common thing these days are LE raids of some fellow Bitcoiners in the name of money laundering, unsolicited money trabsmisiion, tax evasion, ...

In that case you don't want your device easily penetratable or your seed lying around.

You need a passphrase (at least) but also need to take care that your loved oneschve access inncase of death or severe illness. Maybe also some geo-mjltisig and some plausible deniability setup.

Would be nice to see some scenarios to stay safe in one of the most adversarial setups.

Them using state produced csam is part of the game. They always try to poison the well.

Do I want to see this? Absolutely not. Do I value free speech higher than coming across some violent imagery? Absolutely.

It's a tool to exert power like in politics where they all are in some extortion nring regarding child molesting.

Create dirt on someone

Let media make them a public figure

Exert control

People need to grow up and accept that there will always be humans that abuse others and inconcient politicians are currently in 99.9% of the cases do to lacking awareness in the role of the abuser.

Humanities shortcomings can never be a reason to give up essential human rights that are necessary to develop individually and collectively.

They don't want it to be used as digital cash.

Confiscatable and taxable and identifiable digital gold, is not something that scares them anymore.

#Monero #Bitcoin

If SimpleX doesn't strike the right balance we fork it.I have no allegiance to them.

My allegiance is to freedom of speech and the right to privacy and anonymity.

But I know as well that Feds always try to ruin the party with spam, ddos and state funded csam.

Absolutely. But like all state ponzis it never was not about being a scam. At the beginning it was an elaborate scam. Now it's a blatant and shameless scam.

Obvious for quite some time that they embrace Bitcoin while fighting Monero.

Tariffs are theft.

Inflation is theft.

Funny how any medling with the free market economy can be interpreted as theft.

It really is. Therefore no moral high ground for thieves. No matter how hard they try to gaslight their population.

The state is anti-privacy. Always. That's why privacy is not a right that can be granted by anyone. It just can be claimed for yourself.

Money is the new money.

Identity is the new credit. Social credit.

We need to be careful these days. Taking in information that has a lesser understanding of things than your current consciousness is a downgrade for you.

Wait. That's already the status quo.

Not sure if sarcastic or not. In this clown world it's becoming harder by the day discerning sanity from insanity.

Once you understand that there will never be a strategic reserve for Monero you see the light (again).

Replying to Avatar sachin

'Be open minded and curious about socialism', they say. 'Don't be dogmatic', they say. Apparently those who oppose socialism haven't read the literature and is dumb and illiterate.

How about lived experience?

The first prime minister of India was a Fabian socialist. So was his daughter, who was an influential prime minister that went full-blown socialist at one point and nationalised the entire banking system and even briefly suspended democracy. She even unconstitutionally inserted the word 'Socialist' in the preamble of the country's constitution, which means libertarian or classical liberal parties could be deemed unconstitutional.

The country has never known an era without the existence of government monopoly of money and central banking. It has not experienced classical liberalism or neoliberalism on the economic front. It was being exploited and plundered during the European enlightenment era. It has not known an age without taxes. Property rights, leave alone natural rights are almost non-existent socially, politically or legally.

The very first amendment to the constitution infringed upon its people's fundamental rights and introduced the non-sensical concept of being subject to reasonable restrictions.

The country's economic history has been filled with theft of private property, wealth and resources by the government in the name of social justice, wealth redistribution, demonetisation, anti-corruption, economic equality, infrastructure development and national security.

The country had a brief period between 1991-2011 when meaningful free market reforms took place, which is the reason we have had a semblance of economic growth. They did not go far enough and failed miserably.

The current prime minister who is supposedly 'right wing' and extremely popular is also a socialist if you take a look at his economic policies. Freebie, subsidies, high debt and rampant spending is the norm.

Possibly the only good free market legislation in the farming sector his government passed was repealed. They didn't follow proper democratic processes and actually explain it to people, resulting in widespread protests. They have failed to privatise or disinvest at an impactful rate and have filled the upper echelons of the state and party machinery with a bunch of Yes Men.

Majority of the country continues to rely on Government handouts, while those who are productive get their incomes stolen.

Nobody knows what the actual inflation rate is. But everybody knows that everything is getting expensive.

Corporatism is rampant. Regulatory capture is obvious. Companies that aren't friends with the ruling disposition get selectively raided for tax violations by government agencies.

Early-stage companies in a handful of cities in a handful of industries receiving foreign VC money during an environment where interest rates were artificially low or even negative in their countries is not a meaningful indicator of economic growth or prosperity.

Neither is an incomplete metric like the GDP whose measurement methods are constantly tweaked and obfuscated.

People are suffering and the widely-held belief is one of delusion as a result of mainstream media psyop or resignation as a result of understanding the misaligned incentives to change.

The current opposition is also openly socialist, constantly calling for more government spending, subsidies and affirmative action.

There is no social, legal or political movement that has individual liberty and economic freedom as its raison d'etre.

Anyone who calls themselves a liberal is a closeted statist who only want to use the legal and political system to coerce people into abiding by their vision of the world.

'Open-minded'.

Sure. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

I've experienced Socialism enough to know that it is demoralising, inefficient, divisive and demeaning to human nature and its aims of life, liberty and property.

Bitcoin is the way.

Capitalism is the way.

Freedom is the way.

Libertarianism is the way.

I will die on this hill.

Good take. But Bitcoin alone will not suffice. Monero is your protection against coercion and extortion.
