The idea that the monero community should not HODL or use Monero as a store of value. I really have a hard time understanding.
1. The whole idea of deflation seems very constructed (by the FED's who have vested interest in printing money). Yes, if there is rampant deflation you may delay your unnecessary expenditures till later.
2. If xmr = USD 400 or USD 4000 really don't mean anything in relation to spending or affecting the underlying FIAT value of a produce.
3. I would much rather have the community and individuals to HODL up a high price, for nefarious actors or hostile market manipulators to take over. They will create volatility, pumps and dumps so the price setting your goods will be more problematic, not individuals with noncustodial wallets.
3. It hasn't become easier over time to obtain monero. I don't see that on-ramping in five years would make you look less suspicious than today. When enrolling normie's and newcomers, YOU may be their only realistic option to on-ramp with a cash payment.
4. I would rather have an excess of xmr and be able to help out friends of family that may be in need one day (It could be leaving the country or buying meds the doctor will not proscribe them, or just purchases or donations that could hurt them in their public or private affairs).
5. You get your salary in FIAT and they sit in a savings account inflating wildly. Isn't the goal of xmr not to be "digital cash"?

Let's leave the Matrix!
I don't want to spend too much time padding shoulders with someone I agree with. I don't want to spend too much time arguing with someone, who argues from their feelings and not their head. Someone that deny evidence, reasoning or logic for the basis of an argument.
I want to spend time to evolve.
It has always shocked me how much people object to other peoples freedom and independance. How much they judge, how many opinions they have about other people's hair style, lifestyle choices, habits or customs.
The peasants are easily manipulated and diverted away from the root causes of their troubles, to focus on the symptoms they causing instead. As a sewer pump constantly pumping shit into their flat, they are sweeping the floors day and night and preying it will somehow magically stop one day. (If they prey hard enough)
When you have bought stocks and assets for borrowed money (leverage), you get liquidated when the loan exceed a certain ratio of valuation.
Things can escalate very quickly and broaden into real este, employment etc.
The people pulling out of the market now and shorting the right assets, is also the ones that will be buying up for pennies in 6 month time.
What Europeans don't understand!
Is the fact that most Prime Ministers and Presidents is connected to Bilderberg or Freemasonry. Rothschild's is European. Every single EU commissioner is a Freemason, non is elected, they create the laws (only rubber stamped by "Parliament"). Almost every single Editor-in-Chief have the same relation.
What is obvious in the US, is hidden away in secret societies in the EU.


And episode 2, for feedback..

Odysee
Age of Darkness - Episode 2
Crypto series, noir - Rowan starts to notice a pattern
Before I progress to far out this path.. I would like some feedback (I can use for improvement). I have started on a Crypto Series, expected 20 episodes in a Season.
I have made the first 2 episodes, I think ep. 2 is improved a bit from the first episode. But, I still think there is room for improvement.
Is it lacking progression?
Is the music inside the story a bad idea?
Is it to much of the same corporate dilemmas?

Age of Darkness - Episode 1
Noir crypto series, Rowan Ledger escapes the matrix.
By now the world is divided (not by the usuals left/right, 50/50, media construction). The division is..
Between the people who blindly "believe" in the ESTABLISHED media, that reject all scepticism, call proff and evidence a conspiracy, views information shared between people as disinformation. Those who would rather reject objectivism, common sense and facts than stop clinging to their synthetic belief system that has been build up over a whole life.
And those who slowly is accepting the fact that their constructed reality is based on a well orchestrated, tightly knit, secret conspiracy against the general public. That everything they have been taught and fought for, has been deliberately deceptive. Every war, every regulation, every election, every loss of liberty and freedom.
You have a duty to help out tipping that balance in the favor of truth, justice and freedom.
What a rugpull! This will probably continue for a while..
Just know this. No one want's their assets in FIAT in particular not USD for very long. You just have to figure out when and where the FIAT is going back into real assets again.
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.
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.
