Be worried about people who wants to show their high morals and who wants's force it upon you.
Connect with people who are able to put them self in the place of others. Empathy is the difference between an NPC and a human.

Let's leave the Matrix!
"The majority of men... are not capable of thinking, but only of believing, and... are not accessible to reason, but only to authority."
Arthur Schopenhauer
As the saying goes "One time a thieve always a thieve".
EU's plan to steal Russian assets is a one way street. It is easy money and they don't like the owner of the assets, that's the argument at it's core. The problem as always in politics, if you have broken a basic principle it turns in to a slippery slope very quickly.
It may start with foreign nationals (as we saw with wealthy Russian individuals living abroad), now a nation state. What you will see within the next 5 years in EU (you have already seen the start of it in US and Canada, with de-banking of influencers and truck drivers) is national dissidents, critics of those in power being labeled as criminals for critical thinking. What may start as de-banking will turn into "confiscation", what used to be untouchable like pension funds will suddenly also be attractive targets. This is very predictable behavior and the whole CBDC obsession has this underlying incentive, everyone knows it in the back of their head.
SO: Be sure to have crypto in a NON-custodial fashion and be sure to have enough to live a comfortable life on some remote island. What may seem far fetched today could easily be the reality of tomorrow.
Monero will inevitably keep rising, steady and organic. Not based on religion, speculation. It is based on the fact that in all of mankind's existence except the last 30 years. Private economy has been private by obvious reasons (mainly theft). We also have..
All the fundamentals of evaluating an asset, market size of capital in offshore, transactions that are done outside the tax system, from your local foodtruck to your carpenter friend, to the local drug dealer etc.
The future plans of the elites. Cash free society and CBDC.
Normie's are mindblown every time I show them how to setup a wallet and I make a transfer and explain to them that no one have a clue about this transfer.
The monero community is very paranoid, idealistic and sceptical in it's nature, it is a project that is very hard to corrupt. Some may have a status, but no one is king. People in this community know how all others projects have been corrupted, by bribing or extorting the authorities. All playbooks from successful and unsuccessful majority attacks have been played out.
If there is hope for humanity, it lays within decentralized structures of people who hate authorities..
