Why is there still no zero knowledge (proof) shipping? KYC/ID is technically not neccessary in this world. It's just a gang extorting everybody else fearing that their criminal enterprise gets to a halt demanding you let them track your every move/networth.

There will be a wave of Monero FOMO as markets paint clear signals of recovery despite being delisted everywhere. Bitcoiners are lucky to have access to good sources of knowledge and liquidity. I bet some Bitcoiners feeling now sad about Bitcoin being captured can max their purchasing power, freedom and privacy by switching a part of their BTC holdings for Monero. Never go full retard. Do 10 maybe 20%. If you know what you are doing maybe a little bit more. But still want to own assets "they" pump like BTC or Zcash to divert attention from organic growth. You then can dump it onto them and stabilise Monero or any other independent coin in times of a correction. Also own gold or land to not make your mind dependent on one winning strategy. It will cloud your thoughts and decisions.

NVK: "Doesn’t mater how you put it, monero is a Shitcoin. And it’s used for pump and dumps. And likely a on-off-ramp honey pot for privacy minded folks." https://xcancel.com/nvk/status/1649456104592617473#m

You'll soon find out if Signal is to be trusted from here on. If they provide you a Monero payment option you know they are good. Else ditch them immediately and stop ever mentioning them as an alternative for normies. Just promote long term solutions that work permissionlessly, protect privacy and metadata and don't come with a demand to dox you - like SimpleX, Session, Whitenoise, and a few others. SimpleX already has like 4M downloads. It is the most obvious way forward for now. https://aboutsignal.com/news/signal-login-registration-without-a-phone-number/

Cakewallet is now the first mobile wallet that connects to i2p! That's huge. Hope to see it become a standard soon.

Do not trust. Verify. If you can not (fully) trust. Diversify. This means create different parts with different security assumptions TAKING into account that in an emergency situation somebody (could even be your amnesic you) needs to have instructions at hand to recover access (if you want that) 1. do your dices on a SeedSigner but add a strong passphrase for one part of your holdings. 2. start up Tails without internet connection and create a wallet with a strong passphrase for another part 3. Use a geo-separated multisig hardware wallet (ideally airgaped) for a third 4. Keep frictionless wallets around that fit your sense of security like a mobile wallet on GrapheneOS Stamp it on steel or create redundancy without making it easy to steal. It's easier said than done. But it must be done to become your own bank.

Privacy is more about security on an individual and societal level than hiding something. As soon as we decide to interact with the world we will always reveal something about ourselves. The difference that this then becomes a voluntary act. We know from repeated experience that society with theft, extraction, extortion and abuse at its base is doomed to collapse. Hence if we follow principals of regeneration and sustainability we can not have any extractive or coercive force in its centre.

xmr.cards over tor. If the balance is insufficient to cover the whole amount only use cash to make the payment.

And an eclipse. Are you ready for some tectonic market moves?

What if humanity's purpose is to create entropy for a multi dimensional super computer running the universe as a simulation?

I am not sure how this crowdfunding campaign will attract the right people? I would invest, but not interested in signing up to just another platform that now or later demands my KYC. It wants an anti-social login (Google, Apple, Facebook) or an email. Lol. The irony when we are talking about no identifiers in Simplex or permissioneless identifiers in Nostr. Are you sure the company model is the most solid forward or is that investors pushing you over the cliff? The thing is the (licensed) company model is long dead and you aiming for it makes me lose confidence in your future ability to maintain integrity of the network. I am one of the people having spread SimpleX to hundreds of people as early as 2023.

Bad bot. I do think Bcash serves them less than BTC.

Bitcoin was inevitable. Monero is inevitable.

There will be a moment of fear in many people around you when states show their true face. It will make them go from unconscious Stockholm syndrome to conscious Stockholm syndrome. Fear is a window of opportunity. It's like a 0 day. You should not create fear in them. That's bad Karma. But you can use it to help them mobilise stuck parts. Listen carefully.

Those interested in an alternative money will sooner or later all use Monero. People are smart enough to figure out when a tool lost its purpose. "Hodl" ideology was a big mistake as it hundred people from experiencing what is wrong with Bitcoin when transacting on a daily basis.

Or you use Monero.

That's the plan in a world where you own nothing (not even your computer) and are supposed to be a happy payer. It has always been a race. Either we win and squeeze them or they win and they squeeze us all. Few understand.

Peopl invest in their stocks, than complain that they take the money to squeeze the plebs. It's always the same story.

Coldcard, being not so cold after all is narrative preparation for the inevitable Monero pump. Guess what hackers will do once Thorchain goes live. As mentioned before. Use multisig, use passwords and use Monero as this attack is >1000 times more costly on Monero because each and every wallet needs CPU power to scan.

No, you need a reliable network of people. I have not used a CEX in the last 8 years and I live 90% on Monero.
