When you want to learn the truth. Just listen to those, that you are encouraged not to listen to.

These days I get confirmed in my assumption that administering half of my pension, by my self. Was one of the best decisions I ever made. Getting late into the game 35 yrs old, with a low wage I had to make some more "risky" decisions about pension. But, here 10yrs later with 750% return (a bit better than nasdaq 100) I am considering when to stop paying into a pension. At this point and pace it really do not make sense to continue to pay after I'm 50. I would encourage any young person to do the same. I would not directly call pension funds a scam or a ripoff. But, you will pay many fees and your money will end up in places you would never consider good investments yourself (like U.S. Treasuries), to "minimize" risk AND return's.

People seems to forget to ask the question, who is financing it. "Follow the money" often reveals more about the purpose of an app, a newspaper, influencers... Falling for the same puppet mastery again and again..

Sometimes I can't stop wondering. How big a percentage of the profiles I see, mighty be AI agents and how many might be real agents. Lastly I have 20-30 profiles that I know are real people, with real opinions and real values.

Under the circumstances we live in today. Every anarchist should take his precautions and don't let anything up to the state, government or society. He is a nomad that always needs to stay one step ahead. #monero #xmr

The sad reality is that the general public are fearful, hypothetical, opportunistic cowards. In the real world they choose the Evil Empire over the Rebels. The chooses wrong over right, fake over real. Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

They might soon loose control of Monero's valuation. I doubt that speculators are causing significant dumps, xmr is not really a pump'n dump coin. It only makes sense to go long in Monero as an investor. I suspect that, beyond all the FUD, the Qubic attack, delistings on CEX and criminalization of xmr. "They" (who ever they are) mine all they can with a loss. The fact that the liquidity of monero on the few CEX's and DEX is very small, dumping these mined coins in batches have an effect on the temporary market price. But, it seems more clear than ever that they have a hard time continuing down this path and their price dominance is running out. The second big inflow of Monero, that is more inline with the "medium of exchange" principles. Is the fact that Monero is one of most (if not the most) used coins. Many businesses will either convert (swap) it on spot to another crypto they use as store of value. Many also swap their xmr donations or payments due to compliance reasons. All these coins hit the exchange constantly, creates volume and a stability that prevents Monero from going to the moon over night.

If you are sitting in with small amounts of Monero where swapping fees will eat up any meaningful swap. I will zap you for the corresponding amount in return for your xmr. #BTC #Bitcoin

This is certainly interesting we don't really have anything to compare against. - Will Monero settle above Cardano and reach $1200? - Does it provide better value to the world than Dogecoin and Tron and settle at $2000? - Or is Monero really supposed to be on a 3rd place below ETH and BTC at $20,000?
