America is going all in on dumb cryptocurrencies which expose everything (including all of their fraud, lmao), and they don't like Monero. We should be asking ourselves, why is that? Why is our biggest adversary, Big Satan, such an opponent of Monero? If the US government is leaning away from Monero, then maybe we should be using it to fund redacted-1redacted-2, to buy redacted-1redacted-2, all while having it look just like redacted to them.

Bitcoin is an open ledger dependent on extremely heavy computation and a value store backed by nothing, two peak Capitalism brained things to have and put all of your money into. What if you could be one of those gold(futures)bugs, but with an even worse environmental impact? And telling the government exactly where and what your assets are? Generally connected directly to your real identity, and even your real ID? That's also a massive scam in favor of Trump and his friends? Sounds brilliant.
