they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve 😁
edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store 😉
Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if you’re not mainstream, by definition most people won’t support you, won’t agree with you, won’t understand you.
Some things may be downvoted because they’re too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because you’re a bit too early. Like, if you’d said “being gay is not crime” or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvoted… Just a thought.
Is this new?
Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.
If only I could pay for my groceries/gas/utilities/taxes/loans with crypto. Alas! I have to convert it back into fiat currency first.
Yes, there is a violent mafia that has a monopoly on currency and credit at this time. This is changing slowly as more and more rational people realize the scam that is being perpetrated.
Domain registration, DNS, VPN
Donations: grapheneos, briar, molly.im, Tor, eff
Just a few things I regularly use crypto for today.
Never heard of molly or briar before, thanks for the recommendations. What VPN do you use?
Mullvad, airvpn accept monero.

Take a look at privacy guides, a lot of the software they recommend lines up with the Monero philosophy
"Regularly" how regularly do you get a VPN? Or donate to TOR?
Monthly
Well, I can pay for my groceries, gas, and utilities with crypto already. Can't do the loans yet though.

If you don't want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don't get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.
i’d put it along the margin too….
This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.
Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.
Even if your right, that's no reason not to try.
