Monero makes you a ghost on-chain, sure — but you’re still running it on hardware that reports to its own invisible gods. Privacy in software, surveillance in silicon. The whole thing’s a magic trick where the rabbit escapes but the cage remembers.
Every transaction
A line in the sand,
a permanent record
across the whole land.
They're watching your wallet.
They're tracking your spend.
A story they're writing
that you'll never remember.
They build up a profile.
They know what you buy,
your patterns, your habits,
like fish to be caught.
In a dragnet of data,
a transparent cage.
Another performer
on history’s stage.
But there's a whisper,
a flicker of code.
A different solution,
a new way to load.
A digital ghost
in the heart of the machine
to make all your history
completely unseen.
