If you want a thriving economy outside the Matrix. You want "money" flowing / to change hands, the more transactions the better. Zaps for content creation is a prime example. If you only stack, you are not contributing to a circular economy for the future. There is no reason not to do so. Every time you buy or pay someone in FIAT, you should ask your self and the seller why the transaction (with all it's fees) is not settled in crypto instead (Nano, BTC, Litecoin, XMR...) Disclaimer: I would prefer Monero and let the seller about his obligations to IRS. (It's his business, not mine)

Some people see everything as a speculative asset. Like going to a casino and counting outs and odds, they look at technical indicators, tea leafs, paterns.. They ALLWAYS end up loosing to the casino. They may lean on anectdotes about some online daytrader who posts about his victories from his dusty cellar. They may find all sorts of arguments of why their bets are not blind gambling, some wise podcaster interviewed a wise investment expert. If just people adobted their god-given brain and started to think for them selves, abandoned their greed and lust for fast money. They would all be wealthy within 15 years. But, they continue playing their act in the circus.

A REAL MAN will never spend his time protecting the most privileged. The REAL MEN you are looking for do NOT bow to power, money, fame. They operates on based principles, moral, ethics, ideals, aincient values, integrity, honor. They don't spend their time kicking downwards on the man in the gutter. They facekick their oppressor.

To anyone going in to BTC as an investment. Never look at the past performance (as the sales people will ask you to do) only the future. There is a world of a difference between the original BTC Whitepaper, the Cyberpunks, the dreamers of an independent global currency and the hijacked end result, 90% financed by the same owners who run VISA, Builderberg Group, the banks and even Lightning Labs technology is owned by Digital Currency Group and MasterCard. Simple economic game theory will tell you that "they" will rather continue earning 5% on every FIAT transaction, than support a potential disruption of that. So, do not be fooled. The vast majority of the "pumpers" in here are NOT early adopters (these have moved on to other ventures). 12-15 years ago you needed the guts to submit you CC details to some obscure buggy exchange-like website, with a high risk of getting ripped off, to buy BTC. The risk/reward model of today has changed completely from that of the past. The chance of a rug pull (to argue for more harsh regulation on the crypto scene) is as likely as a continued steady increase in value. That is not to discourage anyone from going into BTC, but make sure your expectations are not based on financed social media hype. But, a clear understanding of what you are participating in.

And the Devil said: "I will give you anything you desire! On one condition.. You will never again feel satisfied."

Monero is the only real tool to protect your assets (freedom), either used as a store of value or as a bridge into anonymity. Yes, you can make retail payments too. But, a VISA card or NANO is probably better suited for that purpose from time to time. But, Monero is the portal out of the Matrix, out of taxation, tracing and tracking. Monero are your insurance for a new life, a new country, anytime and anywhere. The point is, real freedom comes down to your ability to get food on the table. If someone have the ability to control that, THEY WILL. What are you gonna do when "they" introduces their forced injection, disguised as a vaccine. When they can freeze or confiscate your assets till you do what your told and you are no longer "a threat to society"?

Do not play along with the "civil war"/division fabrication. The people in power do not have your best interest in mind. If they did they would not hold their current positions. You have to say out loud "I no longer recognizes you authority!" (for you own life and sanity sake). They (the whole system) have absolutely 0 legitimacy and needs to be avoided and ignored, after: Covid, World Wars, nuclear bomb's, assassinations (all of them), the whole Israel lie (from 1948 till today), forever wars, the Established Media lies, 9/11, JFK, the moon landing, the Vaccine industry, the Federal Reserve, FIAT, NATO. They are here to enslave humanity, do not fall for their reasonings and theater.

You have to do the dirty work of seeking the truth, in all aspects of life. Only lies are delivered on a silver plate.
