It would be *amazing* if the greatest obstacle to freedom was not enough wallets, nodes, DEX’s, E2EE messengers, digital cash options. It’s not. The greatest obstacle now is merchant adoption. A marketplace of buyers and sellers that wears its desire for free speech and free trade on its sleeve. Accept #Monero. Spend Monero. Put some of your savings in Monero. If we use it, we win. #freedom #freedomtech

Freedom doesn’t need yet another wallet, yet another decentralised way to communicate, or yet another DEX. The greatest contribution you can make to #Monero in 2026 is to provide your good or your service in exchange for it. #freedom #freedomtech #privacy

Murphy’s Law, applied to freedom: If it can be surveilled, it will be surveilled. If it can be controlled by a single, centralised entity, it will be controlled by a single, centralised entity. If it can be censored, it will be censored. If it can be hacked, it will be hacked. If it can be used in a way you don’t like, it will be used in a way you don’t like. If it can compromise your privacy, it will compromise your privacy. If a single individual can cause the whole system to crumble, a single individual will cause the whole system to crumble. If you can get rugged, you will get rugged. #privacy #freedom #freedomtech #monero

Profit does not make a project sustainable. Decentralisation, privacy preserving protocols, and an enthusiastic community of contributors do. Profit can help fuel that. Donations do too. So can a desire to solve one’s own problem, coupled with the free time and energy to do so. A profitable project without decentralisation can be captured and controlled. A profitable product without privacy punishes you for using it. The more you use it, the more control the profit maker has over you. A profitable project without contributions from a wider community survives only as long as the profit maker decides. And evolves in only the way they allow. Freedom is intrinsically decentralised, private, and supported and sustained by a community. Design your system, product, or service accordingly. #freedom #privacy
