There can be no coexistence between an overly permissive and a free system. The permissive system can onlyvsurvive by suppressing or killing the free system. If killing (for now) is not an option there are to strategies at work that are quite obvious to the long term observer 1. Embrace but divertband dikute the original intention (mainly Bitcoin since 2014) 2. Suppress and attack without publicity (mainly Monero since 2018)

The only chance for cryptocurrencies to keep its meaning (and valuation) is reaching escape velocity through medium of exchange use. But most people are just to dumbed down or frightened and self-censoring aka compliant to recognise that they are frogs that get boiled. They will wake up/die only when it is already too late. So the question for any real Bitcoiners/Monero user is how to make your life a living example of the medium of exchange use. Fuck fiat NGU mindfuck. Where we are going those valuations are meaningless anyways. Spend and receive wherever you can. Demand to pay in Bitcoin/Monero wherever you go. Rent out stuff only for Bitcoin/Monero. Use every (!) point of sale interaction you have as a freedom, privacy l, digital cash sales pitch and move where people are receptive. This is mission critical. Fuck your HODL mindset. Fuck the whole digital gold narrative. It's what THEY planted in our community leading up to the BTC/BCH split. Your hold will be worthless if you can not spend it freely. Get rid of your maxi attitude, which largely feeds into the superiority trap while ignoring other worthwhile projects that can really help like Monero (and also Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Zcash) that have a medium of exchange culture. If you think Bitcoin maxis will rock this alone you are mistaken.
