 Privacy is not a crime.

But apparently if you dare to earn money by helping others improve their financial privacy, that's a crime. 😐 
 Flavor of the day 
 It’s like inventing a shower curtain or blind and being hauled in to court by some kind of pedo or creep, “hey I was watching that!” Gross. 
 Sad but true. All noncustodial wallets are targets. But the mixing is what they did that got them pinched. 
 I mean you would only lock the trunk of your car if you had something to hide. 
 Real privacy is a crime. Fake privacy isn’t. 
 Crime is what is government says is a crime and government say lots of things and say different tomorrow and I do no like a government 
 PIMPing is CRIME unless you OBTAINED primary dealer LICENSE or a BORN WALL ST PIMP aka broker banks 
 worldwide surveillance not only on our financial “freedoms” led by all so called democratic governments 
 People who pathologically think other people's money belongs to them will naturally make it a crime. 
 Running a profitable business providing a legal service protected by the first and fourth amendment is NOT illegal

but that doesnt matter much to people who think themselves above the law altogether 
 Is Monero the real Bitcoin? 
 I won't tire of saying... #bitcoin needs to undergo an update (whether via softfork or hardfork, I'm not sure) to enable coin mixing as an integrated feature of the code, rather than relying on external "plugins" as it currently does. #samurai

As long as these privacy solutions remain external plugins, their developers will face persecution and their services may be shut down.

Miners are held hostage, and they will oppose this change with all their might.. but we will win.. again 
 Monero 💪🏼 
 Dunno about that, I don't see bankers getting arrested for helping their billionaire clients improve their financial privacy 
 You don't arrest your own... legality loopholes 
 RISE UP ....  strategically 🕊️
