Pains me to say, but the global bureaucracy who fancy themselves the owners of our planet have figured something out that most here have not.

They don't care what the tool is. Wasabi, Samourai (Bitcoin), Tornado Cash (Ethereum), Monero.

All banned (Wasabi, Samourai, Tornado Cash) or shadowbanned (Monero).

The why should be obvious. Those are tools to enhance privacy and anonymity, which tilts the balance of power in favor of the individual and away from the gigantic and out of control State bureaucracy.

Do you understand? They don't waste time calling this or that a shitcoin. They just ORGANIZE and get rid of as much as they can, as effectively as they can, and put fear in the minds of others who would dare to defy them.

The pretense of democracy quickly falls when their system of control is threatened.

We should take a page from their playbook, and understand that a tool that gives more financial privacy is a tool that gives more financial privacy. Even if it's on a different chain, or indeed, *is* a different chain.

We're not talking about football clubs here. These are just tools. Tools that help us be more free.

Divided we're easy to conquer. United, we would make them think twice before stepping on our toes.

Not all honeybadgers have the same style and the same preferences.

But recognize there are other honeybadgers in other colonies that care about the same things you do.

And then there are those who would like all the honeybadgers to be defenseless against their surveillance.
