I started liking NoStrudel... but ffs, why does it need me to set gfx.offscreencanvas.enabled to false in Tor Browser's config to be able to attach images? (Coracle can do it, even Substack can do it with gfx.offscreencanvas.enabled set to true.) IDK who the NoStrudel ppl are here (I'm new to Nostr), but just FYI: it's possible!

apparently, I'm not authentic enough for twitter...

Anonymity breeds meritocracy: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." Extend this to Monero economy, where privacy shields identities & transactions become purely merit-based (judged solely on product/service quality) with zero bias. Equality can be achieved through obscurity.

I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can't stop. F.A. Hayek #Monero #Monerochan

#Satoshi’s original vision for #Bitcoin WAS: Pro-ANONYMITY: “a peer-to-peer network-based anonymous digital currency”

AND Anti-KYC: “be careful not to reveal any information linking your bitcoin addresses to your identity”

#Monero IS.

The whole "#crypto" thing started on a forum called Anti-State.com. Time to return to the roots. An Anti-State Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. There is only one anti-state, anti-KYC electronic cash system remaining: #Monero.

In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Don't play your part - opt out. "Your law holds that my life, my work and my property may be disposed of without my consent... I will not play the part of defending myself, where no defense is possible, and I will not simulate the illusion of dealing with a tribunal of justice."

There is the world I dream of and the one I live in. The illusion in the waves of immense freedom. So I keep swimming against the current In this dark, infinite, barren ocean. And if by force I am dragged back onto land, I will stop at nothing to return to the sea.

The state's war on #privacy aims to TERRORIZE us all into submission. It will intimidate those devs & users who just want to live a good, quiet life, but it will also ignite the flames of rebellion in those for whom there can be no good life in chains. ...just making fun of evil 👇

🚨If you see a proposal for an electronic money system, check to see whether it has the ability to preserve the privacy of financial transactions the way paper money does today. If not, realize that the proposal is designed to harm, not help, individual privacy. Hal Finney, 1993 Hal Finney's article, 'Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash,' published in EXTROPY #10 (1993), is a crucial read, especially relevant today given recent SEC and DOJ actions and the ongoing war on #privacy. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Extropians/Extropy/master/ext10_1.pdf#page=8

For the majority of self-proclaimed "freedom maximalists," a new version of Executive Order 6102 could easily end their law-abiding & compliant "freedom." True sovereignty requires being ready to become a criminal and prioritize freedom above all - not just money, but life itself. History has shown that when situations become desperate, any state can make it illegal for its citizens to own assets like gold or crypto. Executive Order 6102 in the U.S., Poland's 1919 regulation, Australia's Banking Act 1959, and the UK's Exchange Control Act 1947 all prove it...
