Kind of a strange stance from someone with the name "monero-xmr". If scanning everyone's face for the purpose of going after petty crimes is justified, why shouldn't it be illegal to use monero for the purpose of going after other crimes?
- mlrtime 10mo agoYour [popular on HN] anti-crypto crusade doesn't make this a logical comparison. XMR is not illegal to use or own, shoplifting is.
- TheNewsIsHere 10mo agoSomething being illegal is not a blank check for unchecked surveillance.
- duskdozer 10mo agoI'm actually not anti-crypto (anti-cryptobro, maybe). I'm anti-surveillance-state and I find it very strange that someone wouldn't recognize the obvious similar argument that monero would be enabling unpunished crime.
- monero-xmr 10mo agoMonero is money. It is a tool for freedom. I don’t like fraud. As a libertarian I am fine with private businesses doing whatever they need to in order to prevent their property being stolen. Free citizens don’t have to shop there. It’s especially egregious considering the businesses are forced to pay taxes, and police are part of the services they pay for, but the state refuses to help them. Theft is wrong, period
