 Money Is Not An Investment

Do you want a traceable asset, with a high issuance cost, that has a volatile and erratic price manipulated by bankers, or do you want a currency that has a low issuance and transaction cost, so that it can be used as a means of payment, maintaining a stable price with respect to the goods in the economy so that it can be used as a means of payment?

Don't confuse investment with money. 

If you are an investor, #Bitcoin BTC is for you.

If you want sovereign money, #Monero is for you.  
 A New American Monetary System: Coming Soon.

Monero's value is not measured in dollars but in its usability.

Read my analysis...

Donald Trump promised that the US will become the crypto capital of the world.
He promised to have reserves in #BTC and pay off debt with “crypto checks”.

What does all this mean?
He said that he would take control of part of the crypto space and convert the dollar monetary system to a new one.

He also said he won't allow #CBDCs, but that doesn't mean he can't back the current dollar with BTC and then issue Bitcoin-backed digital dollars. He will say this is not CBDC, it is commodity-backed money as it was before 1970, and it is hard money.

This new dollar makes sense if it is worth more than the current dollar, e.g. 1 edollar = 10,000 USD, and this means liquefying U S. debts and screwing the T-bond creditors.

Now, many are excited about the BTC price explosion (measured in fiat, of course). They are thinking of fiat investments rather than a sovereign payment system.

When the biggest BTC hash rate is in the U.S., the government will impose on-chain KYC on the country's miners (the government will want control, as always), and then higher taxes and more oversight on transactions.

That's when the real value of #Monero will be seen. 
 There are two rules to keep your #privacy :

1. Don't give out all the information 
 To understand the magnitude of artificial intelligence we can make an illustrative analogy:
#AI is to the human mind what nuclear fusion is to energy. 
 What would the social and economic impact be like in a global liquidity crisis with two disruptive technologies such as #AI and cryptocurrencies?

The debt of the world's largest economy is unsustainable.

The crisis will be provoked by seeking implosion. 

The monetary system will be very different in the coming years.

A paradigm shift is imminent. 
 What is the opposite of traceable money ?
Sure, anonymous money

What is the opposite of a spy coin like a #CBDC ?
Sure, a #privacy coin 

Can you understand what is brewing ?
How will you save your freedom? 

That's why #Monero
#SovereignIndividual 
 A new #BTC ATH makes clear the euphoria of investors.

The liquidity injected by bankers are creating the necessary ground for the new Trump administration to sustain the narrative.

Trump said he'll ban the creation of a #CBDC, but nothing said about creating a virtual currency backed with #BTC.

It's a deceptive narrative to issue a new supposedly sound fiat currency to liquefy the massive American debt. I've been saying this for some time.

It will be when the time for a sovereign privacy currency will become apparent, that's why #Monero

 There are two disruptive technologies that will mark the Information Age, mainly focused on finance and productivity.

If you don't learn and use them you will be out of the market in less than five years. 

#Blockchain and # AI 
 How Technology Shapes Your Brain 

Have you noticed that your way of thinking has changed?

The large amount of information flowing on the internet, and in particular on social networks, causes your attention to focus on quantity and not on quality.

Your thoughts tend to be more superficial than deep because you want to cover more information that is available.

The noise caused by the amount of information available promotes distraction and superficiality of thought.

The plasticity of the brain developed on the basis of synapses allows you to change the way you think and process ideas over time.  
 As technology reshapes human thought, there is a growing risk that, before artificial intelligence attains consciousness, we may lose our own.

 Determinism #Blockchain vs Probabilism #AI

Traditional programming is deterministic, with clear and predefined inputs and outputs, like the Blockchain, which is developed with Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based on deterministic calculations.

AI is based on machine learning that thrives on probability and statistics. It deals with uncertainties and makes predictions based on patterns. This probabilistic nature allows machine learning systems to handle the ambiguity and variability inherent in real-world tasks. 
 #AI: a threat to #Privacy 

AI systems are adept at processing large amounts of data, including personal information.

This capability can be used for beneficial purposes, such as tailoring medical treatments to individual patients.

However, it also poses a significant threat to privacy, as AI can be used to monitor and profile individuals on an unprecedented scale. 
 Big Data analysis is more relevant than ever.

Surveillance models base their structure on it.

#AI is the major evolution of Big Data. 
 
A new kind of life is emerging, an inorganic life.

A new intelligence is emerging, an alien intelligence.

A new culture is emerging, a non-human culture.

A new society is emerging, a virtual society.

#AI 
 Some realize it early, others later, although some will still not recognize the game, and others are part of the game although they remain masked.

When you understand the game you don't panic.

So invest your time and effort in understanding the game and who is behind it.

 Monetary Reset: The edollar

I believe that a gradual implementation of a #CBDC, the edollar, is a likely and manageable scenario to liquefy the huge U.S. debt while allowing the dollar to compete with the BRICS CBDC being developed.

Debt liquefaction would be implemented based on a ratio that considers greater value to this new digital currency to incentivize its adoption devalue the current dollar, and thus reduce nominal debt.

In its initial stages, CBDC could be introduced for specific uses before broader adoption. 

It would be created with reserves in Bitcoin (something Trump promotes).

This virtual currency would co-exist with the current dollar and its initial uses could be:
—Interbank transactions for settlements between banks, improving efficiency and reducing the costs of these transactions.
—Cross-border payments to improve the financial cost and speed of payment for imports and exports.
—Smart contracts and programmable payments for certain industrial and financial sectors.
—Treasury operations where the Treasury Department could use CBDC for certain operations, such as bond issuance or debt management.

This gradual implementation would allow for testing and refining the system before broader adoption while assessing the impact on different sectors of the economy and adjusting policies and regulations as needed.

 Fiat money is a ponzi scheme. 

The U.S. dollar is the largest ponzi scheme in human history.

You will have it in less than 5 years, when the United States will implode its monetary system to replace it with its new monetary system: edollar #CBDC

 What is the information age?
There can't be good people if there is corrupt information.

So, again, what is the information age? 
 The Governance of #Monero  

Many talk about Monero's privacy, and that's fine because it is an essential feature for the personal security and fungibility of XMR, without admitting transaction censorship.

But few talk about its mode of governance which is based on voluntarism and anarchism.

Let's see.

Unlike many cryptocurrencies that have hierarchical or centralized structures, Monero operates under a decentralized governance model.

This model is based on consensus and voluntarism, where decisions about updates and developments are discussed and agreed upon within the community and among the core developers.

There is no defined leader or CEO; instead, the project relies on the collaborative work of a diverse community contributing through the community crowdfunding system.

This voluntarist approach reflects an anarchist philosophy in which control is not centralized.

Of course, decentralization may be slower. The lack of a hierarchical structure can lead to prolonged disagreements or paralysis in making important decisions.

But that is the price autonomy must pay.

Monero's privacy is essential to its value proposition, but its governance model based on voluntarism and anarchism is equally crucial to understanding its resilience and adaptability. 

 
 What do politicians all have in common?
Megalomania only differs in degree.

 #AI will take us to the next level, not to think outside the box, but to think there is no box. 
 Technology is making B2B or B2C concepts obsolete.

The next generation of business will be H2H: Human to Human (or P2P): #AI + #Blockchain 
 The traditional definition of shitcoin includes:
1. Lack of Purpose
2. Poor Development
3. Pump and Dump Schemes

But investment fundamentalists (maximalists) do not talk about lack of #privacy due to traceability.
So,
4. Traceability that violates privacy and individual security

 The issue is not the change itself, but rather the pace and magnitude of that change.

The speed and relative impact of the changes can be the true challenge to address.

 Desdollarization: The #edollar Will Be A #CDBC With Partial Bitcoin Reserve

I have been saying for some time that the issuance of the US dollar is based on an already unsustainable debt and that the BRICS countries are adding allies to form an Eastern bloc that uses its own basket of currencies to replace the dollar.

The mass media are already explicitly lobbying on behalf of bankers (such as Blackrock) who want to impose a change in the monetary system to keep it in their power. Trump considered Larry Fink well CEO of Blackrock, as Secretary of the Treasury.
https://x.com/liberlion17/status/1815098650277622237 

Trump will probably be president, but not even the rest is relevant in the face of banker power and the obvious cartel pressure, which have plunged the monetary system into unpayable debt, and prepare it for a transformation in the digital era to compete with the East and not lose global power.

 Algorithmic Internet

Ten years ago and until 2023, half of all Internet traffic is non-human.  
The ratio remains stable.
The news is that Bad Bots are increasing their ratio and they double Good Bots in 2023. 

I predict that #AI will evolve and dominate internet traffic by 90% in less than 5 years.

It will not be because people stop using the internet but because automation is increasing.

 #privacy is not a goal, but a way of life.

Privacy is a system that you build day by day from your education.

 Differences between Privacy, Security and Anonymity

Privacy focuses on who has access to your data, security is concerned with protecting that data and anonymity allows you to act without revealing your identity.

All three concepts are important to protect your personal information in the digital world. 

—Privacy: this refers to ensuring that your data is only seen by the parties you want to access it. That is, you decide who can access your information. An example of this would be the use of end-to-end encryption in an instant messaging service, where only you and the recipient can read the messages.

—Security: this is about the trust you can have in the applications you use, ensuring that the parties involved are who they say they are and that the applications are protected. An example of security is the use of HTTPS certificates when browsing the web. These certificates verify the identity of the website you are visiting and protect your data from potential attackers.

—Anonymity: the ability to act without a persistent identifier. In other words, it is the ability to browse the Internet or perform online actions without revealing your real identity. The Tor network is an example of a tool that allows you to surf the Internet anonymously, using a random IP address and network connection.

Relationship between the concepts: although the three concepts are distinct, they often overlap and complement each other. Privacy can be enhanced by security, as security measures help protect data privacy. Similarly, anonymity can contribute to privacy by making it difficult to link actions or information to a specific person.

It is important not to confuse privacy with secrecy. Privacy is not about hiding embarrassing or illegal information, it is about having the right to control who has access to your personal information.

The ability to control your privacy within applications is often an illusion. Many times, the privacy options offered by apps are not really meaningful and their main purpose is to make you feel guilty about the choices you make regarding your data.

Privacy should be built into the software and services we use by default. We should not have to manually configure each application to respect our privacy.

 #privacy vs secrecy

You shouldn't confuse privacy with secrecy.

We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That's because you want privacy, not secrecy.

 #AI: Business And Power

 Nothing To Hide

World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab on privacy:

"In this new world, we have to accept transparency, and I will say full transparency, everything is going to be transparent and you have to get used to it, you have to behave accordingly. It becomes... How to say... integrated into your personality, but if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be worried about it."

 Digital Immortality

Ray Kurzweil theorizes that in the future we could eventually map the human brain in such intricate detail that it becomes possible to upload our consciousness into a digital substrate.

This would involve copying and possibly enhancing the neural patterns that constitute our memory, personality, and cognition.

In such a scenario, our consciousness could exist independent of a biological body, within a virtual environment, or even be downloaded into different physical or robotic entities.

This concept raises profound questions about identity, the nature of consciousness, and what it means to be human.

The Singularity Is Near —Ray Kurzweil  
 Surveillance Capitalism: The Collapse of Internet Anonymity and the Rise of the Dark Web

Large technology companies, government contractors, are pushing for a future in which Internet anonymity will be a thing of the past.

They are incentivized by their own profits, contracts with the state, and control of network traffic.

In this emerging landscape, accessing the internet will require personal credentials, meaning every individual will be assigned a digital ID.

Internet Service Providers will be obliged by law to provide the service with an ID for each user.

Your ability to connect to the network could soon depend on being verified and authorized, fundamentally changing the way we interact online.

This can be implemented because most people will accept this control and loss of individual freedom because there will be a catastrophic (false flag) event to justify such control (remember 9/11).

The government will know all the data and metadata on-line information of its citizens.

The era of a free, open, and anonymous internet will be coming to an end.

In this scenario, the need for #privacy will increase and will demand anonymous connections provided by virtual providers.
 
The #AI will play a central role in the provision of this service, but also in the detection of these anonymous accesses. (big data analysis), a technology that will be used by regulators.

It is in this context that the Dark Web and privacy money like #Monero will be useful and this niche market will grow.

 Multi-input #Monero Transaction Correlations: RingCT an Improvable Protocol

This paper analyzes correlations in Monero transactions, building on RingCT technology to enhance privacy.

By Nathan Borggren PhD
https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanborggren/

It was found that there are detectable correlations at the time of transactions that allow more accurate identification of actual transactions within a group of mixed transactions.

These correlations are based on the tendency of users to transact in regular patterns.

The study also examines how these correlations can be used to adjust the probability that a given transaction is the actual transaction within a RingCT.

The research concludes that while the correlations do not reveal the identity of the user, they do provide some additional information for analyzing the Monero blockchain.

 UBI: A Means Against The Sovereign Individual

While Universal Basic Income (UBI) is often promoted as a solution to poverty and job loss due to automation and #AI evolution, it comes with significant risks that critics argue could have serious consequences.

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI through his creation of WorldCoin, encourage the creation of UBI.

One major concern is that UBI could increase dependency on the state, eroding individual autonomy and creating a population reliant on government support. This dependence could give governments excessive power to control or influence citizens, potentially threatening personal freedoms.

UBI could also result in social control, as governments may use the promise of a basic income to impose political or behavioral conditions, further limiting personal freedoms. 

Another criticism is that UBI may disincentivize work, especially in lower-paying jobs, leading to reduced productivity and a weakened economy. By guaranteeing a baseline income, some fear that fewer people would be motivated to pursue employment, which could harm overall economic growth.

Additionally, there are concerns about the economic sustainability of UBI. Significant tax increases or money printing may be required to fund such a program, which could lead to **inflation** or place unsustainable pressure on public finances, ultimately harming the very people it aims to help.

These risks make UBI a highly controversial idea, with strong opposition to its potential impact on society and the economy. 
 The Crypto Cartel

While presented as a tool for decentralization, stablecoins are being used to centralize power within the cryptocurrency space.

A group of insiders, venture capital firms, and currency speculators, many linked to the PayPal mafia, are using stablecoins to influence market direction and gain significant control over the infrastructure and governance of cryptocurrencies.

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and a central figure in the PayPal mafia, has played a pivotal role in shaping the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly regarding the rise of stablecoins.

Thiel and his business partners have used their wealth, influence, and access to institutions to promote a vision of the crypto space that directly benefits their interests, often at the expense of decentralization.

Stablecoins, especially those backed by the US dollar such as USDT and USDC, have become the dominant form of payment in the crypto space.

This dominance is not accidental, but the result of a deliberate strategy by the cartel to "dollarize" Ethereum.

 Is what Chainalysis did illegal?

No, because it does not violate any of the laws imposed in the United States, where it is headquartered.

But...

Is Chainalysis a bad actor?

Yes, because it has set up nodes for the sole purpose of attempting to violate the privacy of the blockchain #Monero

Zero ethics.

It's like a cop who thinks there are burglars in the neighborhood, spying on every house, which has its doors and windows locked, where the owners seek their privacy. 

This attitude of the "policeman" Chainalysis violates that privacy, without having proof that the neighbors are criminals.

 Chainalysis Hijacked the DNS of some #Monero nodes to compromise them.

What happened?

Let me explain what I have researched.

Given the resource requirements, it probably wouldn't make much financial sense for malicious actors to operate their dedicated nodes. 

Instead, they operate “fake nodes” which are Nginx servers that act as reverse proxies, forwarding traffic to legitimate nodes while capturing a copy of the underlying data. Nginx (pronounced "engine-x") is a high-performance, open-source web server software that functions as a reverse proxy server, load balancer, and HTTP cache. It is widely known for its ability to handle high traffic loads and serve static content efficiently

This is what happened:
a) The domain owner points their domain to a VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is a hosting service that utilizes virtualization technology to provide users with dedicated resources on a server shared among multiple users.
b) The domain owner stops paying the VPS and leaves.
c) Chainanalysis rents that VPS and controls the domain, because the zone record isn't reflecting the change.
d) Then popular wallets have these nodes in their lists, and that's how Chainalysis gets "trusted" nodes.

In-depth analysis:
https://www.digilol.net/blog/chainanalysis-malicious-xmr.html

In my opinion, as long as both #Nostr and #Monero continue to rely on domains regulated or controlled by governments we are going to have problems.

 The Cypherpunk philosophy is usually misunderstood by most people, who believe that they are dealing with criminals, or terrorists of the system. Such a discourse has been imposed by the ruling elite in order to control individuals.

At their core, Cypherpunks seek to create a decentralized social system, with no need for mutual trust to interact, no need for permissions regulated by a central authority to participate, and respecting privacy, above all else.

 UTxO vs Account Model

UTxO model: ideal for systems that prioritize privacy, security and parallelism in simple transactions. 

Account model: balances are tied to specific accounts, tx can be easier to track unlike the UTxO model. It is best suited for complex applications for smart contracts. 
 #Monero: An Anarchist System

Monero is a decentralized network, in distributed tx production, technical development and education.

This is Monero's most powerful quality.

There is no developer company and CEO, as in most Blockchains, a single point of failure, an attack vector. 

Both #Bitcoin BTC and #BitcoinCash BCH have that same virtue, but their ledger is traceable and that is a vulnerability to the privacy and security of their users.

The Monero community is based on voluntarism to carry out transactions and to implement technical improvements in the development of the network.

Yes of course, coordination for development is slower than Blockchains developed by companies, centralization is faster but more insecure.

Most of the information and education that circulates is created by the community.

Monero brings together the characteristics thought by the first cypherpunks. Monero will always be a niche in the money market, because not everyone understands the need.

Do not look for $XMR as NGU or Hodl, but utility for the use of money in privacy. 
 How to Increase #Privacy in #Monero

If you don't run a node on the Blockchain (the best option for privacy), then you can do the following.

Your IP address is part of your internet footprint, cover it with VPN.

You will increase your privacy and security if you use Monerujo wallet + VPN + Orbot for your tx on the Monero network.

Orbot is an application that allows access to the Tor network on mobile devices. It works as a proxy, routing the device's Internet traffic through the Tor network. 

Monerujo has the option to connect to Orbot nodes.

It is very easy to increase the degree of privacy, the cost-benefit ratio is very positive.

Monero is the best option for your money in privacy.  
 Some people get so excited about the tool that they confuse it with the objective.

O.N.E. Amazon plans to use a combination of advanced technologies, including satellite surveillance, the Internet of Things (IoT), and potentially blockchain technology, to monitor, monetize, and profit from the Amazon rainforest.

This project is linked to powerful figures from Wall Street, such as BlackRock, and U.S. government agencies like the CIA and the Treasury Department, which are believed to employ surveillance and control technologies to benefit financial institutions. 

The initiative faces criticism for neglecting the well-being of local communities and failing to ensure genuine rainforest preservation. Instead, its true aim appears to be the monetization of natural resources to sustain the debt-driven financial system.

 Some are still distracted and standing on the technology train tracks.

The speed is exponential. 

Get ready for change.

You can either get on the train, or get out of the way by being co-opted by the system, or stand still and be crushed.

Your choice.

 Education in the Information Age

Technological advances since the Industrial Revolution have been increasingly accelerated, some more than others.

One of the few technologies that have practically not evolved is education, societies continue to prepare white-collar and blue-collar workers, they do not educate, they instruct and train. 

What society could not do in the last 200 years will be done by the #AI. 

It will not be necessary to accumulate data in the brain to process them, but the ability to understand and develop critical thinking and creativity. 

The systematic work and information processing will be done by the digital mind. 
 Next Generation: Distributed #AI 

Imagine training AI models on data distributed across a secure network like blockchain.

This decentralized approach offers several advantages:
 —Enhanced privacy: Data is distributed across multiple nodes, reducing the risk of data breaches.
 —Increased transparency: Every transaction and change in the AI model is recorded immutably on the blockchain, allowing for auditing.
 —Improved security: By eliminating a central point of failure, blockchain makes it harder for malicious actors to attack the system.
 —Scalability: AI models can be trained on larger datasets and more complex algorithms.

This combination of AI and blockchain has the potential to revolutionize industries such as finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. 
 Separation of Money and State 

The monopoly of money passed into the hands of the state less than 200 years ago.

For example, prior to 1863, the U.S. had thousands of private currencies. With the National Bank Act, an official currency issued only by the government was established.

Cryptocurrencies bring back a debate that centralist politicians thought was over.

 The #AI And Human Bias. 

Many denounce the AI of intentional bias. Key concept: AI is plausible rather than true.

I will briefly explain how AI LLM Technology works, which is the most widely used today, then what an informational bias is and why it is a human outcome. 

The future of Artificial Intelligence will be Super Synthetic Intelligence (SIS).

Let's see.

LLM models structure their responses based on a predictive text model that seeks to be plausible but will not necessarily be true. It is key to understand plausible as opposed to true. 

The prediction thus coherently structures the idea based on words that follow others more likely, and that make sense with all the “learned” (trained) information.

Key concept: text prediction structure.

Thus, LLM technology is created with human information, not just the compilation but the predictive programming.

How do you expect it to be free of human bias?

What is an information bias?
An information bias occurs in data collection, analysis, or interpretation, leading to an erroneous or distorted conclusion. This bias may be intentional or unintentional.
The best known are sample selection bias, confirmation bias, anchoring bias, omission bias, and a very long etc.

So what will be the likely solution to minimize or avoid bias?
Let artificial intelligence generate a scientific method for information gathering, verification, and reproduction moreover, the AI generates its synthetic information. 

There we will find ourselves in the era of the Singularity, the Synthetic Superintelligence (SIS).
 
 It is just the beginning.

 An artificial ecosystem: #IoT + #AI + #Blockchain

The combination of the three technologies leads to an efficient ecosystem.

Think of IoT, AI and blockchain as a living organism.

IoT is the nervous system that perceives the world through billions of connected devices.

AI is the brain that analyses data and makes intelligent decisions.

Blockchain is the memory that keeps a secure and immutable record of transactions.

 The Major Risk to Privacy: BCI Technology Could Compromise Our Innermost Thoughts

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology allows us to control devices with our thoughts, but it also poses a significant risk: the invasion of our brain's privacy.

—Data Collection:  Companies and governments could exploit this data for marketing, surveillance, or manipulation.

—Security Risks: Hackers could expose our most personal thoughts.

Do you think it is Sci-fi?

 Philosophy of critical thinking 
 Consciousness is deeper than thought. 
First we have consciousness and then thought. 
 You cannot have thought without consciousness 
 René Descartes discusses thought and consciousness as the foundations of existence and identity.

His famous statement "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") emphasizes that the act of thinking is indisputable proof of one's existence. 
 Globalists invest in privacy?

SimpleX Chat is an open source messenger, which was conceived in privacy, keeping the anonymity of the users and without access to their data, but, in July 2022, SimpleX Chat secured seed funding from venture capital fund Village Global.

In July 2022 SimpleX Chat raised a pre-seed funding from the VC fund Village Global.

A lot of money from venture capitalists investing in Simplex, a "simple" startup. 

Do they all have a strong conviction for privacy? 

What is the interest of globalist angel investors?

More money coming in...

 After Bretton Woods and until 1970, the dollar was backed by gold, a commodity

After the fall of the gold standard, the dollar was backed by debt, but it sustained its power in Middle Eastern oil and thus became known as the Petrodollar.

With the arrival of bankers to bitcoin we will have a new commodity to back the Fiat currency of the United States, the Bitdollar.

Perhaps some bitcoiners are happy with the NGU narrative, and Bitcoin being backing the dollar will drive up its price of course, but it will also be heavily regulated by the government.

This could be the new standard for the American #CBDC, the e-dollar.

 The huge amount of institutional money coming into Bitcoin will require on-chain KYC on Blockchain, and it will be a regulation that miners will soon install in their nodes to be able to operate in the United States and other Western countries. 
 Still not clear?
Take your time.

Trump promised that America will be the global capital of cryptocurrencies and use #Bitcoin #BTC as fiat reserve, and that needs state control.
