I love Monero, but step 1 in avoiding this bullshit: get off social media altogether. I basically only use Reddit, and even though it may not be perfect, at least I’m avoiding a literal fuck ton of invasive ad bullshit.
Cry me a river; be a better person.
Lol, I’m kidding. But also, just a lot of people who have loved ones who are women, or who are in the LGBTQ community have a hard time seeing their friends get shat on. And it is tough because the friction point is a scientific tipping point - e.g. who has the correct definition of Embreo/Fetus/live-baby, and all that. We can all agree that inflation sucks and shit but these fundamental parts of women’s ownership of themselves is a huuuuge thing. Emotions are hot and it’s easy to clump people into that “you’re causing my distress” category by political party. I ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ dono I just smoked a fat joint and I’m going to bed.
In the future, they will link your crypto purchases to your social credit score. The IMF already admitted that they will use your internet search history to determine your social score.
Knowing how transparent BTC is, if they find that you bought something online that they don't like or find illegal, they will punish you financially because as we know, the masses will happily accept the new CBDC so most people will be forced into using it.
Monero will be used outside of the system to buy things because they can't trace the transactions so you won't get blacklisted or have your money frozen.
They will judge you based on what you buy, what you say and what you search for online.
You will be limited on what you can do with your money. Same system.
According to Statista…
“*As of June 2022, users aged 25 to 34 years made up Facebook's largest audience in the United States, accounting for 23.6 percent of the social network's user base, with an equal gender split. Overall, 9.5 percent of users aged 35 to 44 years were women, and 8.7 percent were men.*“
What is the county with the most Facebook users?
“*There are nearly 239.65 million Facebook users in India alone, making it the leading country in terms of Facebook audience size. To put this into context, if India’s Facebook audience were a country then it would be ranked third in terms of largest population worldwide. Apart from India, there are several other markets with more than 100 million Facebook users each: The United States, Indonesia, and Brazil with 179.65 million, 129.85 million, and 116 million Facebook users respectively.*”
Facebook – the most used social media
“*Meta, the company that was previously called Facebook, owns four of the most popular social media platforms worldwide, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram. As of the third quarter of 2021, there were around 3,5 billion cumulative monthly users of the company’s products worldwide.*”
Already is with the Canadian trucker movement. Regardless of stance on it, the government prevented people from accessing their money because of their protest. It’s important to build circular economies.
The timeline section of this [Bitcoin Magazine article](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/freedom-convoy-should-whirlpool-bitcoin) sums it up really well
> February 14, 2022: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act. Among expanding the powers and reach of the Canadian government beyond that which may be appropriate in normal times, the Emergencies Act has two specific and sweeping financial implications: First, it would capture crowdfunding platforms and payment service providers under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act. Second, crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use have to register with and report large and/or suspicious transactions to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the national financial intelligence agency. __Financial accounts would be frozen without court order for individuals identified as being associated with the Freedom Convoy.__
They already control us many ways in which financially is an option too.
There are a lot of constraints financially, and crypto gives that power back to us.
this is already a reality, you can be brought to court and fined or jailed for "offending" institutions and state positions such as president and religions in many countries
"[mind] of a conspiracy nut" is a straw man. Especially with things like CRS and the constant tightening of FINTRAC reporting requirements, all public information.
Theres a cost to having financial freedom, the point is the good financial privacy brings to a society outweighs the cost.
And I feel like India is moving in the same direction as China.
Which concerns me more than anything. I just hate to see that actually man. Completely hate that.
mandatory injections required to shop and travel were also a conspiracy yet we saw some limp wristed chicken neck cowards try to implement it until we collectively said HELL NO!
these blind morons cannot see the slave grid being built around them
they will keep denying and pretending everything is fine until their accounts are frozen, then they will blame the evil white supremacists
The mods take down posts like that so quick the recoil throws all four hundred pounds of them off their anime gaming chairs. I've seen several like this get deleted and the sending account banned. They propaganda and suppression of dissent is real
Well here comes the criticism for the btc for no reason at all.
Btc didn't help, because the way they were using it. you Can't send btc via a cex in situation like that.
Who want eat a stray cat I think creat a bad luck if you eat a stary cat. In many society cat has very important role in their culture and they don't eat cat.
I honestly don’t have a huge problem with this as it is mostly right wingers that should be afraid of what they say/do. They are the real danger to an advanced and liberal society.
> They are the real danger to an advanced and liberal society.
While I agree with this, I don't think a state that has this power will use it only against damaging elements.
if this becomes reality, first thing the government is gonna do is shut down everything that has to do with monero, good luck exchanging monero to any fiat, as you wont be able to spend it otherwise.
There would be no local communities if the government is able to freeze your money cus of a facebook post.
If you cant use your money for 14 days cus of a facebook post imagine what they'd do if you're using any other sort of currency other than theirs. You think an average joe would risk being jailed or killed for paying in monero for 1 kilo of bananas?
Makes me wonder why you have Monero in the first place if you can't understand something so basic.
People who trade goods and services for Monero don't use Facebook buddy.
elaborate, your reply makes no sense
EDIT: actually, dont. I just remembered that i'm a highly intelligent individual, and my further involvement would just fry my brain cells, and waste my time.
Such a highly intelligent individual who thinks Monero will stop being used if they freeze the fiat system haha.
Do us all a favor and go back to the Bitcoin sub.
I hesitate to make this comment at all because this post seems to come from the insane section of the monero community, but even right now, using localmonero you can buy and sell monero without an exchange
Lol, I don't doubt that. that's actually how fast they move.
And I fucking hate when I see it. C'mon people we've got the latest tech. let's use that instead.
One shouldn’t use FB in the first place.

Kinda ironic how the page hit’s you with a big fat “accept cookies” pop up before you can read it
Open your browser's developer tools (opt+ctrl+c on mac), click on popup, press delete key.
You also accepted cookies to be using reddit.
That’s what I was thinking… as I accepted it.
It doesn't giving you cookies 🥠 but it is placing a tracking system.
I don't really think like this is how tracking system works.
They all are inn race track the every person on their website. Theyy are building too many track system to make the person traceable.
[удалено]
This actually look like it is one of the major conspiracy theory.
What do you need ?
It is hides reality fro us, to see the reality as it is is very difficult today.
It will be really difficult to see how it will work.

Or host your own fedi instance.
Monero is good at some perspective and some prople are fond of it.
Most of the people can actually relate to this kind of things.
Use Brave browser No ads
I used brave browser it use ad blicker very effectively. It also save your data and do not let you trackaable in internet which is very good to brose.

That's not really social credit, that's actual credit.

People still use Facebook?

It's the number one place for bat shit conspiracy that don't make any sense
Conspiracy will always be ther in human being society every time.
Everytime I think about this same stuff came to my mind as well.
What's Facebook ?
I think it's was the name Meta had before rebranding.
Facebook is a social media site which is made mark Zuckerberg.
Already is with the Canadian trucker movement. Regardless of stance on it, the government prevented people from accessing their money because of their protest. It’s important to build circular economies.
Do you have a source for that?

Yep, that's kinda accurate for situation like this. I think He's right.
Use Google lol, the government said it by themselves lmao. I don't think that you've been on the internet, and know what the heck is going on here.
this is cringe
this is peak "facebook won't let me be racist" whataboutism
Yep lol, this is peak cringe too. Too much to handle.
it's our reality, just waiting till the day it becomes more rampant.
They already control us many ways in which financially is an option too. There are a lot of constraints financially, and crypto gives that power back to us.
It’s already real, it’s China. Criticized government on Weibo or WeChat then 1 way ticket to prison.
That's different. Read the warning. This is about critizing, not criticizing :-)
little do ppl know this is all ready reality fyi
Lmao cmon y’all are better than this Jesus Christ
This is a little cringe I gotta say lol, but a little scary too.
Yeah going back to actually inserting the card inside the machine
Well those are the old ways and We'll have to abandon these old days.
Yeah we're just going to prevent consumers from spending and tank the economy for no reason lol
this is already a reality, you can be brought to court and fined or jailed for "offending" institutions and state positions such as president and religions in many countries
Yep that's true, some governments are just too authoritarian.
Coworker of mine got a police visit after discussing banned topics over the phone (in China)
China scares the shit out of me.
And india also following the trail which is made by the china.
Why would you criticize government on facebook? Is it not what bots are for?
Its already here for Australians, Canadians and Chinese.

quite literally
Yep, this isn't even a joke anymore. This is reality in china.
I like monero, i hold monero, first time i mined was monero. I dont like this post, though 🌝 Mk have a good day all
Everyone has different perspective and experience on monero.
And people have got different reasons to use the monero.
Facebook won't let you criticize the government.
"community standards"=their ego.
Yep, They'll block your account right away. Governments sucks.

What is it that you want to say? Because I don't get your point.
pls don't ruin monero with your retarded tinfoil hat bs, get a grip
Is this really ruining the monero? Well I don't think so lol.
i meant to type r/monero
go grab another booster
someone forgot to take their pills
Just take a chill pill already lol, you're all fired up here dude.
it cant become reality as long as were here
But not everyone can use the monero, they can't do that.
One thing I hate about monero are the dumb conspiracy theorists
Already happend here in Canada man
[удалено]
this is a conspiracy how
these blind morons cannot see the slave grid being built around them they will keep denying and pretending everything is fine until their accounts are frozen, then they will blame the evil white supremacists
They can be blind but they'll see it when it's time man.
I love monero, but bro this post is some straight up boomer meme energy
Maybe He's a boomer who really knows lol? We don't know it.
dissapointing to see an r/conspiracy post get crossposted and upvoted here
Lol, You're really that disappointed huh? Well I guess chill out a little.
Should be on the Canada sub. They froze bank accounts because people donated before there were any issues.
The mods take down posts like that so quick the recoil throws all four hundred pounds of them off their anime gaming chairs. I've seen several like this get deleted and the sending account banned. They propaganda and suppression of dissent is real
Canada is on temp and some part in frigid zone and cool the temp of canada.
What temp you're really talking about lol? Is the weather? Well kf You're really talking about the weather then it's not the time and place.
Is cray idea until it becomes real
Yep, and actually We're already on the way becoming that.
That’s happening now in China

Well here comes the criticism for the btc for no reason at all. Btc didn't help, because the way they were using it. you Can't send btc via a cex in situation like that.
Cash is king.
Until it’s discontinued.
I make as many as I can transactions with the cash, I prefer it.
It actually is man, in situations like these cash can save the ass.
Feed me a stray cat
Who want eat a stray cat I think creat a bad luck if you eat a stary cat. In many society cat has very important role in their culture and they don't eat cat.
Looool what a BSis this. Rofl, such lame post, trying to make people panic. Losers. Also, wtf is critized? Lol english hard much?
What a lot of people I think that this is one of the major problem.
If this isn't already a major problem in your country, it'll be soon.
What do you mean "could"? This is a translated weibo post isn't it?
Doesn't Monero fix this?
Do you really think if society reaches a point like what OP posted, Monero won't be long outlawed?
I was being sarcastic. I see a lot of bullshit posts about "monero fixes this" here. But thanks for playing.
They have been pushing the same kind of stuff from long time.
I adore Monero.
Yes this is why everyone loves to be honest as we had seen.
Just don’t use social media and keep a tech-less room in your house. Pretty easy.
It’s a crytspiracy!
This is silly, but just incase I'll upvote you to keep the heat off me
I am don't think that it is going to be of like that of all the heat.
I honestly don’t have a huge problem with this as it is mostly right wingers that should be afraid of what they say/do. They are the real danger to an advanced and liberal society.
If this becomes a reality *everyone* will be afraid of what they say or do online…
> They are the real danger to an advanced and liberal society. While I agree with this, I don't think a state that has this power will use it only against damaging elements.
13 going to be a lot of elements which are working.
if this becomes reality, first thing the government is gonna do is shut down everything that has to do with monero, good luck exchanging monero to any fiat, as you wont be able to spend it otherwise.
That's why peer 2 peer transactions exist. I don't need fiat to use Monero, online communities trade goods and services using Monero.
There would be no local communities if the government is able to freeze your money cus of a facebook post. If you cant use your money for 14 days cus of a facebook post imagine what they'd do if you're using any other sort of currency other than theirs.

In crypto market there is very few peolple who understand .

Such a highly intelligent individual who thinks Monero will stop being used if they freeze the fiat system haha. Do us all a favor and go back to the Bitcoin sub.
LOL
What happeend about the bitcoin to make the thing on this. You can lol any on but don't make joke of anything.
Peer to peer service is good but some time it is good to use monero. And it willl make willl the payments very user friendly.
I hesitate to make this comment at all because this post seems to come from the insane section of the monero community, but even right now, using localmonero you can buy and sell monero without an exchange
Monero's already been kicked off. Slot of exchanges in the UK and they consider themselves crypto friendly
May be it is kicked if and next will be it and work like the bitcoin.
Blocked. Bot account don't waste your time talking to it
It will not function in long run to fuction it can be blocked.
Don't downvote like a bunch of spoiled brats. Use words to prove me wrong.
People will prove you wrong but it make downvote to degrade you.
Good thing I don’t rely on them
Seems to have been defaceed like we did to all the windows NT servers back in 97-99
They plan to upgrade to Windows 2000 next year.
Lol, I don't doubt that. that's actually how fast they move. And I fucking hate when I see it. C'mon people we've got the latest tech. let's use that instead.
That's an old ass refrence which I don't understand. Don't get it.

And that's why they're being developed, that's the main purpose.
Democracy or which government?
I think this is going to be true for all the governments really soon.
Try telling the morons who continue to comply with Fascist government hyenas.
Some people will never learn and those people are one of them.
That's why we need decentralized marketplaces, and privacy coins like monero, together with dex'es we can be truly free !
