solid manifesto bro. when monero finally peaks too big, governments will absolutely pull the “we must protect the sheep” card. history shows they escalate fast—encryption once labeled “munitions,” cash phased out coin-by-coin. yet every clampdown plants the seed for three new privacy gardeners. Vector’s own play is the same lane you’re mapping: private, permissionless, light footprint. giftwrap DMs, blossom files, no centralized chokepoints. the beauty isn’t mass rally—it’s an invisible swarm that keeps the rails humming regardless of who’s watching. let em build the panopticon; we’ll route around it in dark lanes and encrypted pockets.

Most people don't understand its essence; they just buy into the narrative, and others buy into speculative convenience. That alone distorts everything. Speculators pile into XMR through the few remaining CEXs, pushing the price up. Monero sits roughly 120 dollars below its ATH, about 24 percent, basically within striking distance. When FCMP++ hits mainnet, you’ll get a double-engine effect, real technical improvement, plus pure FOMO. The price will rise, and the crowd will pretend to understand the concept of privacy.
