    I haven’t gone that far. It’s mainly online privacy I care most about, and financial privacy. I mean… I use lemmy, mastodon, proton, degoogled my devices, run linux, DNS level ad/tracker/malware blockers, use Monero, Signal, SimpleX, have no fb, x, insta, tiktok, etc.

    As for the whole fake money thing, anything can be money. It’s just what people choose to call money. And since I can use it to buy groceries, and pay my phone bill, and pay my insurance, and buy products I want, it is money. You know the money most used to purchase drugs is the US dollar?

      Lol, yes I do know that. I’ve spent quite a few US dollars on drugs myself.

      I really was just joking. I’m not judgemental about privacy, drugs, or most things really. I also realize that ALL money is fake money that only has value because we have agreed that it does. If the topic had been short term rentals instead of crypto, I’d have made an “illegal hotel chain” joke instead.

      Also, If I offended you I’m sorry. I hope you have a good night (or day if you live far away from me).

        Sorry, I might have come off a bit harsher at the end of that last message than I meant to. I get it so often here because so many people want to just bash crypto without ever thinking about any good sides about it.
