No, sorry 😐

Monero seems difficult to exchange, I saw some comments in the sub, but can't tell If it's good advice

these CryptoNote protocols have qualitatively superior experiences on a number of different levels, but the size of the blockchain and the intentional isolation of exchanges from Fiat-Monero, causes slowed adoption of the protocols, which serves the interests of the surveillance industry

Lack of payment processors etc, is just another form of enforcing this reality on the end users, who are treated by policy as a source of trouble and suspicion, variables to be controlled.

Case in point, OpenBazzar didn't just "fall apart" as a project: it was intentionally fuck with, social infrastructure sabotaged and left to rot by interested third parties.

GME mania is another form of this approach to controlling financial end users. Channel social energy into buying stocks of bankrupt companies....instead of endeavors like the cryptonote protocols etc, which actually solve real extant problems in the financial field they stand in, and have a material reason to reproduce and generate value as an investment.

Social media has poisoned people's ability to work collaboratively while disaggregated, by inserting the virality of meme logic. At the same time, people think they are so enlightened by the technology, "now I can communicate with anyone on earth, we are super-humans, we lucky privileged few who live in the age of the internet"

Lol
