what exactly is temporary about Monero privacy?
Im sorry to say that is usually because its happening with BTC maxis whose doctrine is simply "if its not BTC, its shit"
its a faith-based argument and they arent interested in critical examination.
There are some XMR maxis too of course. But in general the community is MUCH more willing to be self critical and acknowledge flaws.
Which is extremely important because thats how preparation for adversary happens.
BTC is woefully unprepared and the community's attitude is "saife said BTC is inevitable so understanding context and specifics doesnt matter"
in short, theyve relinquished the cypherpunk banner.
Although #BrokenMoney is about money and finance, I dedicated a full chapter to the topic of privacy.
It covers government financial surveillance, surveillance capitalism, the frequency of data breaches, Snowden, Pegasus, Chinese export of surveillance tech to dictators around the world, etc.
Surrounding chapters are about CBDCs, encryption, and the intersection of financial technology and human rights so it all kind of flows together.
I figure that most people won’t read a book about privacy but if I can stick some privacy-focused content into a money book that will indeed reach a wide audience, it’ll educate a lot of people on the topic that weren’t otherwise looking for it specifically.

educating people about the importance of privacy is arguable as important as educating them about the nature of money.
this is awesome.
just to interrupt the circlejerk for a minute
onchain BTC and LN have privacy issues. projects like Monero solve them. pointing that out isnt grifting.
it is often maxis who remain willfully ignorant.

WoS is closed source custodial
the IRS gives 501c3 status to corporations. so you have to be able to satisfy their requirements.
it ain't easy.
get you a 501c3 to hold the land and don't pay property taxes 😎
