Am I the only one that thinks that seeing a gigantic Sam Altman staring at you from the stage of the "World Governments Summit" seems incredibly dystopian?

Value is a subjective concept that varies from person to person. Money, on the other hand, is a technology that does not exist in physical form. It is simply a representation of agreed-upon value that people use to exchange goods and services. It may seem arbitrary that a piece of paper with "100" on it is worth 100 times more than a similar piece of paper with "1" on it, but this is the reality of our monetary system. The key to a successful monetary system is trust. When trust is lost, the system fails. Blockchain technology is a valuable innovation because it eliminates the need for trust in financial transactions. Although it is a slow and expensive database, it is vastly superior to traditional monetary systems because it removes the need for trust. This is what makes blockchain technology the foundation of the "internet of value." The internet of value is a term used to describe the vast network of financial transactions that occur using blockchain technology. Just like the internet is an extension of our collective mind, the internet of value is an extension of our collective economic system.

ETFs originated in the stock market and are an attempt to transform crypto currency markets into regulated markets just like the stock market. Regulations simply mean the rich will get richer at the expense of the poor. The whole point of decentralization and crypto was because the regulations only work for the rich. Even Elizabeth Warren, who stands against crypto, has admitted that. She herself said, "Today the game is rigged—rigged to work for those who have money and power. Big corporations hire armies of lobbyists to get billion-dollar loopholes into the tax system and persuade their friends in Congress to support laws that keep the playing field tilted in their favor. Meanwhile, hardworking families are told that they’ll just have to live with smaller dreams for their children."

Many people continue to wonder why I opt for Monero, when I still use Bitcoin or degen Ethereum. I'd like to reiterate why Monero remains one of my preferred choices: - No owner (We even don't know the initial coders, no one ownes Monero's trademark) - Tail emission (Makes fees low almost everytime) - Dynamic block size (Makes it scalable to any amount of users) - ASIC resistant and CPU friendly (Makes more decentralized and easy to mine with lower gear) - No premine, no ICO, no VCs - Fully anonymous, no one can see no ones transactions, sender, receipent, balance etc. Impossible to seize.

SHUM Should have used Monero

Hate Speech is cover for legitimizing censorship, and I’ll have none of it.

People will realize how important is decentralization and privacy when they are forced to own nothing and be happy about it.

Programming has come a long way over the years. In the past, people had to program using punch cards. Later, machine language became the norm, and people had to write instructions that were specific to the processor that would run their code. High-level languages were then introduced, which allowed computers to translate architecture-agnostic code into machine-level instructions for different architectures. Debugging used to be a tedious process, as people could only detect mistakes in their code after compiling it. But intellisense revolutionized the debugging process by allowing the development environment to detect a lot of mistakes before compiling the code. This greatly reduced the amount of debugging needed. In the past, programmers had to write code in high-level languages to explicitly tell the computer every step it needs to take. However, today's LLMs allow programmers to describe their intentions with plain text descriptions. The computer then writes its own instructions, with some guidance from the programmer. It's important to remember that programming has gone through several major changes over the years. If you are a new entrant to the field, it's worth bearing in mind that this won't be the last major upheaval.
