they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve π
edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store π
Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if youβre not mainstream, by definition most people wonβt support you, wonβt agree with you, wonβt understand you.
Some things may be downvoted because theyβre too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because youβre a bit too early. Like, if youβd said βbeing gay is not crimeβ or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvotedβ¦ Just a thought.
Is this new?
Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.
If only I could pay for my groceries/gas/utilities/taxes/loans with crypto. Alas! I have to convert it back into fiat currency first.
Yes, there is a violent mafia that has a monopoly on currency and credit at this time. This is changing slowly as more and more rational people realize the scam that is being perpetrated.
Domain registration, DNS, VPN
Donations: grapheneos, briar, molly.im, Tor, eff
Just a few things I regularly use crypto for today.
Never heard of molly or briar before, thanks for the recommendations. What VPN do you use?
Mullvad, airvpn accept monero.

Take a look at privacy guides, a lot of the software they recommend lines up with the Monero philosophy
"Regularly" how regularly do you get a VPN? Or donate to TOR?
Monthly
Well, I can pay for my groceries, gas, and utilities with crypto already. Can't do the loans yet though.
Bitrefill
Doesn't this invalidate the banknote?
I like how you didn't call it "money" π
No, but it will get pulled from circulation the next time it gets deposited into a bank.
Banks take damaged or defaced notes and send them to the nearest Federal Reserve bank to be destroyed and replaced.
So in other words, put this stamp on every bill you ever touch. Got it.
It's technically a felony, it's just not worth tracking down the kid drawing a moustache in Jackson.
Besides being needlessly petty, wilfully defacing every bill you can is a good way to get investigated if it's a slow day for federal law enforcement.
Not a felony = print trillions of notes and steal purchasing power of the whole population to fund crimes against humanity.
Felony = Stamp critical information on bank notes that empowers individuals in a peaceful manner.
This is not a sign of evil scumbags running a clownworld at all...
Sadness. Okay, I won't do it then.
You feeling alright, buddy?
Nope, but thanks for asking, pal.
Go talk to someone today.
I'm talking to you, or do you not count?
No. Talk to someone in real life. Someone who knows you and can help you out.
Ah, gotcha. Will do.
If you don't want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don't get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.
iβd put it along the margin tooβ¦.
This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.
Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.
Even if your right, that's no reason not to try.
Yeah.. It won't actually increase the value of crypto.. You'll just be associating it with nutjobs like anti-vaxxers or insurrectionists who are the kinds of people who do stuff like this.. The kinds of people who follow URL's they find on banknotes, you probably won't want in your community
You're just decreasing the value of both here..
We don't care of the value of USD.
Yeah. But what about monero? Again, it doesn't help it either.
You still believe in "vaccines" AKA toxic injections? π You have a lot of catching up to do.
The data is clear vaccines are 100% useless and most likely harmful, it has been a fraud from the start. It is based on a nonscientific premise of virology.
Yeah. I'll believe my mate who studied immunology for 5 years and has a PhD. Who was trained by people with actual lab and research experience. But sure mate. I'm sure a bit of Google and you're the expert eh lol
You can do what you want. But defacing bank notes just is cringe and turns people away from what you're trying to promote, because they will see it like a scam
That's why only crazy people do it
In personal discussions, people of such credentials confirmed that they also just "trust the [academic] process" and "don't have time" to check the foundations of their convictions. And that they didn't know, but "there surely was someone specialized" who does.
More clearly, in this context, saying you trust your mate is equal to saying you trust your recorder that is replaying the cassette that someone happened to have left in it.
You are right, it is best to trust the experts, they're totally not brainwashed with intense indoctrination and huge personal and professional conflicts of interest.
Vaccines are very much real and effective.
What do you have against communicable diseases?
They are real effective at keeping big pharma profits sky high.
