The Lesson of Anonymity — From Bitcoin to Monero It doesn’t matter if Satoshi Nakamoto or Nicolas van Saberhagen were one person or a team. What matters is that both understood that protection was part of the code. Satoshi’s anonymity gave Bitcoin birth—but his successors didn’t fully grasp the lesson. Most Bitcoin developers today are public, traceable, and exposed. That makes the network stronger technically, but weaker politically. Monero’s creators learned differently. Many remain anonymous to this day. Not to play spy games—but because they know what happens when code threatens the system that rules money. Bitcoin opened the door to financial sovereignty. Monero built a wall of privacy around it. Anonymity isn’t hiding. It’s how truth survives pressure.

Bitcoin: On-chain KYC disguised as "protecting the network." First it was "limiting spam," then "preventing illegal content," and finally the inevitable argument: "protecting users and miners from illegal activities." Each technical layer becomes a moral filter. And each moral filter becomes a checkpoint. The solution? Regulators will require on-chain KYC for institutional investment. Developers and miners will accept monetary incentives. There will be a hard fork.

#Technocracy: When AI Becomes Your Political Proxy I’ve been saying it for a while: democracy is quietly morphing into technocracy. Rewiring Democracy, by Schneier and Sanders, captures this shift with precision. In their book, democracy meets its algorithmic mirror. They imagine a future where your AI agent knows your political preferences—and acts on them. Decision-making is migrating from parliaments to algorithms, from debate to data. Instead of representatives guessing what citizens want, each person could have an AI proxy that votes, debates, and advocates according to their values. Direct democracy, automated. It sounds empowering—more participation, less friction, greater representation. But it also risks turning citizenship into a background process, where humans stop engaging while machines simulate democracy. Who programs these proxies? If algorithms mediate our civic choices, democracy’s new battlefront isn’t ideology—it’s code integrity, data ownership, and algorithmic transparency. The book’s warning is subtle: AI could “rewire” democracy not by overthrowing it, but by outsourcing it. Technocracy isn’t ruled by elites—it’s ruled by systems we no longer understand.

Monero has defined its design with a single purpose. Zcash has defined its design with multiple purposes. It makes me think of someone who has a little bit of this and a little bit of that... I'm thinking of analogies... No! Don't be homophobic 🫵🏻 okay?

Privacy is a choice — and it must be yours, not the system’s. Use Monero if you value control. Trust a hybrid like Zcash, and your “private” (shielded) transactions will stand out like a flare in the dark — visible, vulnerable, traceable.

It's not the politicians, it's the voters. Voters validate a corrupt system. Voters give power to their oppressors and then complain. Hack the system / Fuck the system

I don't want to scare you, my friend, I just want to warn you: in many countries, incitement to tax evasion is classified as condoning crime, and that is a criminal offense. In other words, if you encourage others or even advise them on methods of illegally avoiding paying taxes, you could be criminally convicted. In these cases, freedom of expression does not apply. It is very different to say that taxes are theft than to implement and disseminate methods to evade them. Be careful, research the laws in your country, and remember that you are your data and metadata, and your identity has a price.

Want solid proof of Monero's privacy and untraceability design? Here it is... Chainalysis is a blockchain forensics company that tracks transactions for governments, banks, and exchanges. Its business is turning digital traces into regulatory evidence. Chainalysis published a document entitled “Cryptocurrency Crime Trends in 2025: Illicit Volumes Poised for a Record Year as On-Chain Crime Becomes More Diverse and Professional.” https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2025-crypto-crime-report-introduction/ It states: “The popular privacy coin Monero, while an increasingly important part of the DNM ecosystem, is not included in the analysis in this report.” Why, being the most popular privacy coin and one of the (theoretically) most used by criminals, Monero was excluded from the analysis? Spoiler: they cannot break its privacy and untraceability for forensic studies.

I published my first book. It is published under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license. It is free and open. It is for you, my dear sovereign reader. It is my humble but proud contribution. After writing several articles about the impact of technology on society, I felt the need to take a step further: to connect the loose pieces, build bridges between scattered signals, and, above all, to gain a deeper understanding. This book isn’t a prophecy but a guide born from long reflection. It seeks to read today’s signals and build frameworks for plausible futures, not predict them. It favors clarity over volume — short, focused chapters that open perspectives instead of overwhelming detail. A panoramic route, not a tunnel. I hope you enjoy this book, and above all, that it proves useful to you. The 10 chapters will be released periodically. You can read it here: liberlion.com/books

The silent refuge in the era of programmable money. This will interest you whether you’re an investor or someone seeking a sovereign form of money. Can you see we’re living through the transition from tangible money to programmable money? A cashless society is on the path. If you can see this, you agree with me that governments don’t just aim to regulate finance; they want to merge it with digital identity to close the loop of control. The roadmap is already set by the G7 countries, and will later be adopted by the rest until the G20 completes it. First, digital identity (DID) becomes mandatory. Then, CBDCs or heavily regulated stablecoins follow. Without DID, there is no control. Without control, the planned technocracy is not possible. In this new order, every payment becomes a line of code with conditions: when, where, how much, and for what. Money stops being neutral and becomes conditional and traceable. Public blockchains that once promised freedom are now aligning with the surveillance model. Soon, every treceabel network will be forced to implement on-chain KYC, and anonymity will be redefined as a crime. And when anonymity becomes a crime, privacy turns into resistance. Yes, I understand your concern; you don't want to be persecuted by governments as a criminal, but there will be ways to avoid exposure, which I can't say now because I'm not a fortune teller as to how exactly the controls and surveillance will be implemented. That's where #Monero comes in as an individual sovereignty protocol, which will be in demand and will, of course, impact its price. Because understanding #Monero today is not just about the price, it's more than that, it's about understanding the future of financial control. Monero will become valuable because it will be in demand. Let's accept that it will always be a niche market, but demand for it will increase. Liquidity is an important factor to consider when investing, and yes, Monero is being delisted from CEXs, which provide cash flow, but more and more DEXs or applications, such as Cake Wallet, allow swapping with other cryptocurrencies and with fiat in some countries, and that provides cash flow. Monero protects privacy by default: -invisible addresses, -hidden amounts, -indistinguishable senders. -No permission required. Its mining algorithm, RandomX, is built for CPUs, not ASICs. This spreads power and makes it harder for states to locate or seize mining farms. In Monero, decentralization isn’t a slogan — it’s engineering. Its tail emission ensures sustainable incentives, keeping the network alive and autonomous. No arbitrary inflation — just long-term stability. In a world obsessed with traceability, Monero offers the inverse social contract: no one can watch you, exclude you, or manipulate your balance. That’s why, whether you play the price game or defend your freedom, Monero matters. Because to understand it is to foresee what’s coming: a future where privacy is the last luxury — and the only real shield. In a world obsessed with traceability, Monero offers the inverse social contract: no one can watch you, exclude you, or manipulate your balance. That is a market segment where money flows. That’s why, whether you play the price game or defend your freedom, Monero matters.

#Technocracy is the NWO.

Tail Emission: #Monero chose deterministic perpetual issuance to survive the attacks of its early days One of the strategies used by regulators wasn’t technical, but economic: restricting the use and liquidity of XMR by forcing major CEXs to delist it. Without transactions, there are no fees, and without fees, mining loses its purpose. A network without economic incentive dies quietly, without anyone needing to shut it down. Tail emission was born as a deep defense: to ensure Monero wouldn’t be exposed to market manipulation in the fragile early years of its network. Most cryptocurrencies face a fatal dilemma, because there is no intensive use in these early days to make the fees sufficient, and when the issuance ends, so do the incentives. Without incentives, there are no miners. Without miners, there is no network. In theory, if usage is high enough, transaction fees alone could sustain miners. But in practice, that day hasn’t arrived. That's why they are desperate for mass adoption and will do anything to achieve it, even violating their principles and selling their souls to the devil. Monero chose not to gamble its security on hope in these early days. It chose another path: sustained security, paid with almost negligible inflation. That decision requires balance. If issuance exceeds real demand, value erodes. If it’s too low, miners leave. Tail emission preserves that vital tension — enough to secure the network without breaking price stability. Its tail emission — a minimum of 0.6 XMR per block since 2022 — wasn’t a design flaw, but a statement of monetary maturity. When it reached its main supply of 18.132 million XMR, issuance didn’t stop. Today, about 18.3 million circulate, and each new block adds only a drop to that ocean. That perpetual drop keeps the network’s guardians alive. It ensures the hash rate doesn’t depend on market moods or user fees. While other systems bet on faith — hoping transaction fees will sustain security — Monero bet on reason: a deterministic perpetual algorithmic issuance with decreasing inflation. In practice, inflation sits around 0.8 % annually today and will gradually decline toward 0.6 % within the next decade as supply grows. Of course, this projection only holds if there’s real network use — if there are transactions and genuine demand. Without that, no issuance model, however elegant, can sustain an unused system. Over time, inflation becomes insignificant, but its effect remains profound: it maintains the autonomous network and mitigates price cycles and attacks on liquidity, or the flow of money. The result is a system that doesn’t aim to look “hard,” but to remain secure by design. Monero doesn’t promise absolute scarcity; it promises continuity. In a world of currencies that expire or rely on central banks, Monero chose not to die. And that simple act — continuing to reward security — may be the difference between a living network and a digital relic.

RandomX: the algorithm that made it impossible for ASICs to conquer #Monero Want to know why RandomX is anti-ASIC and how it works? Read 👇️ The story begins with a rebellion: in proof-of-work, whoever had the most expensive hardware always won. Until Monero changed that. RandomX rewrote the rules. Instead of designing a simple, optimizable algorithm, it made it deliberately unpredictable. Each block generates a new program that miners must execute. An ASIC lives by repetition. RandomX lives by change. Randomness removes the only advantage specialized chips could ever have: consistency. The algorithm uses complex CPU instructions — arithmetic, floating point, and random memory access. In short, to beat it, you’d have to build an ASIC that’s basically… a CPU. It also forces miners to use a 2 GB dataset with chaotic access patterns. CPUs handle that easily. ASICs don’t. Behind that apparent “inefficiency” lies an elegant idea: to redistribute computing power back to ordinary users. Mining becomes domestic again. Each block turns into a short, fair race — no industrial shortcuts. RandomX punishes concentration and rewards hardware diversity. On a deeper level, it’s a political statement: decentralization isn’t defended with speeches, but with design. RandomX reminds us that security doesn’t just live in cryptography, but in equal access to computation itself. Monero chose the hard path — resisting specialization to protect privacy. In a world that rewards optimization, it bets on computational fairness.

Did you know #Monero has a sidechain? P2Pool is a sidechain to Monero, allowing miners to mine XMR in a more direct and decentralized manner. In an era of centralized mining, P2Pool returns control to the miner: you run your own node, you decide what you’re mining, you cooperate in a peer-to-peer way rather than handing power to a giant pool. Instead of trusting a pool operator with your hash power and rewards, P2Pool lets you participate without giving up custody — blocks found send payouts directly via the coinbase transaction to all miners in the share window. Technically, each miner submits a block template that includes payouts to all miners currently in the share window. Those templates become blocks in the sidechain; if a template meets Monero’s main-chain difficulty, it is submitted as a full Monero block. Decentralization isn’t a slogan here. In P2Pool, there’s no central wallet, no single admin who can shut you down. If you run your own node, you’re part of the network’s backbone. That said, this setup requires more commitment than simply pointing your miner to a pool. You’ll need to sync a full Monero node (or a reliable one), run P2Pool software, and accept that payouts might come with higher variance. The upside: zero fees, very low minimum payouts, and full control. Ideal if your goal is independence and contributing to network health, not just the highest short-term return. The trade-off: if your hash rate is modest, you might wait longer between payouts than you would in a large central pool — and you’ll carry more responsibility (node, connectivity, software). It’s worth crediting the builder: P2Pool for Monero was built by Sergei Chernykh (aka sech1), with the explicit goal of creating a trust-less, decentralized mining pool option. In closing: this sidechain isn’t just a tech trick. It’s a statement: how you choose to mine says something about what you value — control, transparency, decentralization. And in that choice, you hold power.

Are you familiar with $XMR #Monero fractions? It's analogous to fiat cents. Since Monero is money and you can make small purchases, like a coffee, what would happen if XMR were valued so high in dollars that the smallest fraction of XMR wouldn't allow you to do so? Let's see. 1 piconero = 0.000000000001 XMR (10⁻¹²) 1 nanonero = 0.000000001 XMR (10⁻⁹) 1 micronero = 0.000001 XMR (10⁻⁶) 1 millinero = 0.001 XMR (10⁻³) 1 centinero = 0.01 XMR (10⁻²) 1 decinero = 0.1 XMR (10⁻¹) 1 monero = 1 XMR (10⁰) XMR would need to trade near US$100 billion per unit for 1 piconero to be worth US$0.10. It's clear that the "problem" seems distant. However, another issue is the high price of XMR in dollars relative to fees, which benefits miners but not users. But that discussion is for another time.
