RE: The Surprising Truth About How People Spend Monero [Token Investigation 43/50]
There is a thought process that says none of your beeswax what people choose to spend their money on. Do you trace every single $100 US bill in existence and know what that fiat is used to buy?
So why try to impose extra hurdles on crytpo, that you would never even imagine trying to impose on fiat?
Lots of valid uses for Monero.
What about evading corrupt politicians running countries like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, etc.
Instead of focusing on the possible negatives of privacy coins, why not focus on all the positives that are enabled.
Simple, the new thing that disrupts the old system is always met with hostility. Example: petrol is dangerous, but we complain about hydrogen fuel. In the Netherlands uber is forbidden, because it disrupts the old system etc.
Uber is a great example because it's so good for the consumer but there is so much debate about it on the business/ethics side, very interesting and difficult to know what is "right"
"There is a thought process that says it's not your right to judge what people spend their money on" - definitely true on some levels, there are probably philosophical edge cases that muddy the waters a bit but I haven't dug too deep on the literature / debate around the issue tbh
