I don't understand the nature of the change. Care to explain? (When I used ipfs it didn't perform as expected...)

Two tier justice

Why jump through the hoops? And even if you will, is the shop keeper who is willing to adopt a freedom coin capable of mastering these technologies?

I am not saying that institutions are evil. Just that these African traders will be served better using a privacy coin (like Monero). Today their government doesn't care / doesn't have the capacity to tax them. Tomorrow that might change. Just like what is happening in the US

Sure. You can use Tor, run your own node, connect only through wifi etc. Or you can admit that BTC is not a freedom coin and use something that is built from the ground up for privacy.

That is because it is the religious fanatics who truly call the shots. And there are plenty of those in Iran

Sounds ridiculous, right? But that is the equivalent of "you have an ounce of Grass!" They won't go after everyone. Just those that going after them will do strengthen their control. Instead of freeing people, BTC will be used to enslave people.

The implications of this are simple. #Bitcoin is not freedom money. It's not a way to circumvent the government. There is no privacy with Bitcoin. The IRS will know every transaction you make. And they will come for you. Libertarians and anarchists who came to Bitcoin for the freedom, will be moving to #monero. As the IRS starts taxing Bitcoin users, the dream that Bitcoin will make people rich or free will diminish. Long time HODLers will drop Bitcoin, and with it the Bitcoin price. Now is the time to make the move away from Bitcoin.

Closed hardware, coming from China is a real threat Closed hardware coming from the USA is also a threat The problem here is not that the US is blocking foreign hardware. The problem here is that they are not blocking closed have hardware.

Some were short. Some lasted for decades. As an example the 30 year war. Fiat makes financing wars easier. But not to such an extend that without it there will be less wars or that they will be shorter. Even if without fiat politicians will be forced to compromise (there is no historical evidence to support this, but let's assume it's true), that is not necessarily a point against fiat. If the US would have been forced to compromise with Nazi Germany, is that a good thing?

So how about: All value is an individuals judgment?

All value is subjective 😃

I never set up a lightning wallet. Whenever I looked into it, it seemed too complicated or impossible to be completely independent. My monero address is in by bio
