I’ve gathered a few insights from my experience in the Monero community over the years:

  • Nobody cares until there’s pressure.
  • Price always matters, but freedom more.
  • Scammers are everywhere like cookies on clearnet.
  • Everyone points fingers, but only a few take action.
  • Genuine donations exist and are growing stronger every day.
  • Privacy is crucial because it is a necessary pillar of freedom.
  • If you don’t host, you’re giving away your data.
  • OPSEC is everything in a controlled digital age.
  • It’s better to avoid going mainstream; the underground will prevail and set future trends.
  • It’s OK to use drugs and/or own guns.
  • It’s OK to be misunderstood and to ask questions—far better than remaining ignorant.
  • It’s OK to change our mind when necessary. Perhaps, always.
  • We are in a silent war about our freedom and we are warriors, not soldiers.
  • Bitcoin is what Monero really is.

Feel free to add anything if you’d like. It’s just a reminder about what makes us antifragile.

      Of course and that’s do the magic. Meanwhile, I was talking about privacy, control and more adoption.
