Lost a lot of respect then.&#xA;&#xA;But I wanted to highlight an idea in that book about power the physical kind&#xA;Lowery says governments (military) are the power projectors that control the state of custody of real world things. Its the guys with the most power.&#xA;&#xA;I thought about this when you said you wanted black market money.&#xA;Maybe im totally wrong but&#xA;It seems like you&#39;re trying to stay within a system that&#39;s systemically exploiting you, but you want to use money to try to survive in that system.&#xA;&#xA;And in that idea monero kinda makes sense&#xA;&#xA;What Lowery says though is that proof of work is a new field of war. Like land, speed, air, space, digital.&#xA;And in that analysis whoever has the most power in the digital realm is the new military. &#xA;The ones who control the state of custody of what&#39;s valuable. &#xA;&#xA;Then monero is worthless because its too small and bitcoin is physically more powerful by orders of magnitude&#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
