Fiat is Slavery. Monero is the Answer.


This issue is way more than just "inflation", but touches upon the fundamental structure of our society.
In under 8 minutes, this podcast gives you the straight fire facts to instantly convert even the most skeptical hater to use Monero. And yes, Monero is mentioned specifically as the solution, for real world use.

Arweave (optional to replace Cloudflare)

I have nothing against Bitcoin Cash, but wouldn't you agree that the reason mixing BCH with cash fusion is not flagged by KYC exchanges is because it's not widely used? If it became widely used, then it would be flagged and restricted like Bitcoin Mixing.. or Monero
It's a good idea, and it could be done. You could have Arweave as the front-end, but a backend on a regular VPS (to avoid people having to pay with arweave wallets)
However, there is another alternative that is already made, that doesn't require any custom work,
Using encryption as identity forums, it stops the CDN from seeing passwords using DegenRocket's code. Right now it's on RebelNet.me using Nostr/Ethereum keys. So maybe switch off Cloudflare to a better CDN (perhaps bunny), and then people can sign with Nostr keys. And then the CDN can't access accounts...
Best part: RebelNet.me has native Monero tipping already on it.

The Paradox of Monero. 101 Podcast
How to get it safely? KYC vs peer-to-peer markets?
Very likely you know most of the content in this podcast, however, you may find it interesting to hear about the "Paradox of Monero"

Thanks for your time. I agree as well that first steps are great, and there is not a magic one solution.
Yes, "we are collectively the society", agreed. Education is the key.

Monero's New Upgrade will Radically Kill Most Attack Vectors.
But... the community still suffers from "Just My One Thing" Disease. And this coming full chain membership proof upgrade won't change this.
Monero is money. It's not an operating system. It's not a CDN. It's not a social network. It's not an encrypted messenger.
You know, the Bull Dies in Spanish Bullfighting, because it's so focused on the Red Silk, that it misses the sword.
In "Just My One Thing", our team points out the logical flaws of supposed privacy, political, and free speech groups, being so narrowly focused on promoting ONLY their own cause.. that they miss the bigger picture, and it becomes self-defeating..

EU Vote this Thursday: Monero, VPNs, Chats, and all Encryption
In the EU, they are voting on Chat Control now. This is deciding if they'll make encrypted chats illegal. This has huge effects for VPNs & Monero.
In the US, Chinese hackers have infiltrated the phone lines, And the FBI is telling ordinary Americans to encrypt their chats.

Everyone in the EU should be pushing their politicians on this issue, as it definitely affects Monero in the EU.

XMR surges $200+, as Google ENDS black friday. BUT I DO NOT

XMR surges past $200. Up 15% today!
But I argue that Monero is worth more than the KYC exchanges say. And I'm looking to prove that by offering great discounts with solid legal systems.
Google's Official Store just ENDED their Black Friday sale, They now charge $799 for a new Pixel 9
But Simplified Privacy goes even lower: just $580 (in XMR)
You pick: still sealed in the box or flash GrapheneOS Black, White, or Wintergreen, 128G storage, Google's 1-year warranty,
With XMR up so much, and our price down so low, This is a slam dunk win for you.

Plus PGP-backed receipt against our deposit, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/how-pgp-insurance/index.html
sure, thanks for your time
Sure no problem, just msg us on the bazaar or any contact via simplifiedprivacy.com
You're correct about that being an issue, there's 3 responses:
First, the person can flip to airplane mode in their home. It's possible to be actively targeted by an attack, but this is unlikely if you're a random IMEI
second, the person could be renting through a friend or cash via landlord. or in a highly populated city
third, if you're that concerned, then do hotspots or GLiNET with external sim, and then the person would want to avoid the main phone in their name anyway, to avoid the attacks mentioned in the first one

Cheaper than Google & Brand-New, SALE: Pixel 9
We're trying to increase the use of Monero, and attract more people to XMRBazaar by offering such great discounts on brand-new and high-demand electronics. And through the use of Monero arbitration legal systems, increase trust in the Bazaar.
https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/5Ve2/
When you connect to cellphone towers: You’re using the modem which has an IMEI identification number. Using a DeGoogled phone and a VPN does NOT change this from revealing info about the hardware TO the TOWER, such as where it was bought. And who bought it.
If you buy it in Monero, that solves the problem. But other DeGoogled providers charge more, while as we charge LESS:
Official Google Store: $799
Simplified Privacy: $665
YOU PICK: We Flash GrapheneOS OR you can get it still sealed in the box.

XMR Kraken Delisting Special: Market Stability Circular Buying
SPECIAL SALE: As Monero is delisted from Kraken (for the EU),
Simplified Privacy jumps into the fray, to buy XMR, by selling discounted hardware & services
We’re offering $10 off your Phone or VPS combo purchase, to offer stability to the market and defy oppression.
First, if new exchanges aren't listing it, then basic logic would tell us that there's only so many times they can delist XMR to cause a price-propaganda event, and eventually the bad news is priced in. So just hold and ignore it for a week.
And the Kraken insiders sold prior to the announcement, that’s why XMR fell more than other coins in the general market. So if you sell now, you’re essentially letting them urinate on your wallet and manipulate your emotions.
Second, to prove my first point, if you don't want to hold your XMR, I will accept it right now today for a Phone or Email setups at a discount. You want to get rid of it? Come on down, and get a completely off-the-radar DeGoogled Pixel or an a

Chrome's new Digital ID is a power grab

Why Monero is uniquely immune to the Collapse
Today Monero is listed as a front-page trending coin on Coinmarketcap
But it isn't rising that much ($148.81 from the low of $137), it's just that it didn't collapse with coins primarily traded on centralized exchanges. Monero's attitude of "use it" over hodl & leverage keeps it stable.
And special to this situation, as I've written about earlier, this entire collapse is triggered by Japanese yen carry trades. Monero's history of being banned from the Japanese exchanges, makes it so that very few people long XMR/JPY on leverage

SimpleX Server Payments: Will XMR be a default?

SimpleX will be integrating payments to the server operators to provide incentives to decentralize the network. He’s using a voucher blockchain system, but that’s what the customer gets. The question is what the customer pays.
Can the customer pay in Monero included in the self-host default packages, or will operators have to provide their own XMR infrastructure? This is a big deal. These are the types of questions you can ask directly at tomorrow (or tonight if you live in asia)’s event.
The SimpleX dev is dropping by Simplified Privacy’s chat to answer community questions. Consider showing up to show Monero love and sway his mind to natively support it with his vendor package bundles.

How can we get the party started for a Monero social media site to bond a couple of anonymous bros?
Well maybe Big Tech bashing, but with an educational twist.
This site LifeHacker has half-hearted criticism of Google, but the site itself uses Google analytics and the author uses Gmail. Other than the obvious, we turn it into an educational opportunity to have members of the community tell him all the choices there are to DeGoogle your life.

Let’s face it, our way of life is under attack. The exchanges delist us. Dubai bans us. EU restricts. Others countries we wonder. Nostr Bitcoin Maxis try to haze us. Ethereum VC funded devs treat us like pariahs. Even if you want to act tough and curse me out, you know it’s true that we live in some level of fear.
a) To make Monero real world money, you need adoption from everyday people. b) Everyday people don’t care about learning new tech, they learn it from influencers. c) To win over influencers, we need to appeal to what they care about, which is not privacy. They care about censorship, being deplatformed, and being demonetized.
Russell Brand demonetized. Glenn Beck pulled from Apple podcasts. America’s front line doctors banned from how many platforms? These are just some well-known examples, but I know dozens of mid-level political guys rug pulled by Big Tech. If we shift the conversation away from Monero is darknet markets, and turn it to undeniably monetized fre

Some in the Monero groups here are not Libertarian, and are more interested in privacy/tech in general. That’s fine. But Macro level politics are important to Monero... Because Reto/Haveno is a response to those politics.
The Libertarian Convention went down and there were some developments, including picking a nominee and Trump speaking. There are big political impacts of Trump talking at LP because he is being forced to be more pro-crypto and anti-CBDC to try to sway Libertarian voters. The fact that a mainstream candidate is even showing up to the table is big. “Free Ross” signs went up directly in front of the conservative cameras like Right Side Broadcasting, and Trump did make concessions on Ross
Now is Trump actually pure? No. Is the LP nominee pure? Actually, No.
An ideological battle went down, and here’s what came out of it:
