In a lawless society, it’s probably best not be flaunting anything. Stay humble, stack sats, enjoy life and don’t make yourself the target. There simply is no legal system to protect if the criminals are in charge as they are writing the fucking laws. Why is that so hard for many to comprehend?
Sounds similar to the rationale people gave for taking the covid shot. Time to stand up for yourself.
A fair point sir. I am still trying to work through re-establishment of civil society without civil war when the judiciary has been captured. Can't really see it
We will all die at some point, no matter what. Cancer, heart attack, car accident. No one knows the future.
Don’t let bullies force you to live in fear and make your give up your rights preemptively.
Oh I totally agree and we are entering a period of heightened centralised projection of power. And giving up won’t help and there’s no one coming to “save us”. Freedom has to be fought for constantly against bad actors. But my point does stand to a degree still on the flaunting. If you’re going to walk through a poor neighbourhood with a Rolex, make sure you protect yourself or simply choose initially not to wear the Rolex. Work around rules where you can and identify the battles. A good silly example is the bat boxes on the dystopian cameras in Uk. People were angle grinding them down. You could get prosecuted. Stick a box for bats to nest and they’re wrapped up in contradictory “laws”

You can do both. But just as it is stupid to only use Bitcoin, when you could use both Bitcoin and Monero combining their strength. It's stupid to only stand up for yourself without also using the protective shield anonymity can give you.
Be smart. Combine the strength of different tools and approaches instead of sacrificing yourself with limited impact
