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 free speech: This is a winning battle.
But there’s a lot of choices with censorship resistance. Nostr, Session, Ethereum push channels, Farcaster, Lens, Arweave, IPFS, SimpleX, and the list goes on. The problem with “encryption as identity” is people do not agree on what coins or keys are legitimate. And this fighting and fragmentation kills adoption.
Here’s how we solve it: Simplified Privacy w/ DegenRocket has created a cross-key cryptographically agnostic protocol. This means ANYONE can cross-communicate. Our demo example has Nostr and Ethereum talking to each other… with Monero tips.
This reduces the number of clients and apps people have to download. When you SIGN you’re sending XMR, you first publicly telegraph you’re doing so with Nostr or Eth. This separates your SOCIAL identity (Nostr/Eth), from your FINANCIAL identity (XMR) in the eyes of Chainalysis AI.
Here’s the plan:
Step 1. You. It takes only 2 minutes to generate a random keypair and see how it works. Post your stuff, have fun. If you are “too busy”, then that’s the response influencers are going to have to making a Monero wallet. You can not control politicians. All you can control is your own actions.
Step 2. Me. I pledge to reach out to 356 influencers over the next year, and pitch them on the undeniable value of ownership and self-custody of their communication and revenue stream, as opposed to being a slave of Big Tech. That if they adopt an interoperability protocol, you get the ears of ALL these keys, starting with the adoption from you.
Step 3. Us. When they come on the protocol regardless of Nostr or Eth keys, we hit them with $0 zap Monero emojis. Nothing motivates someone to generate a wallet, like being able to count how much they are missing out.
Monero is true free speech. It’s about time we turned up the volume.

My fellow Monero enthusiasts,
In the pursuit of our cause, let us be unequivocal: we will not support any reduction in privacy or anonymity. These are the pillars upon which Monero stands, the very essence of our mission. The moment we allow these principles to falter, we risk losing the sanctuary we have built. It is then that we must seek refuge elsewhere.
The likes of Russell Brand and Glenn Beck may not grasp the profound necessity of the privacy and anonymity that Monero offers, but we do. We understand that our goal is not to appease the existing system, but to transcend it. We have borne witness to enough theft, war, and hegemony to last a hundred lifetimes. The time has come to cast aside any semblance of compromise in our messaging. Privacy and anonymity are non-negotiable.
Are we not the central bank killers that Satoshi envisioned? Are we not the vanguard of a new era, where financial sovereignty is reclaimed by the individual? Now is not the time to waver. We must weather every storm that comes our way, for there will be many. But united in our unwavering commitment to privacy and anonymity, we shall prevail.
Let us march forward, resolute and unyielding, in our shared mission. Together, we will ensure that Monero remains a beacon of freedom in an increasingly surveilled world.
Privacy and anonymity, now and forever!
I'm confused by your message. RebelNet.me does NOT compromise Monero's privacy in any way. It separates social id from financial id. And someone can self-host it.
