exactly this. I have monero because I do not trust some elite bankers to control the value of my money, and I do not trust the government to not increase the dial on taxes to 11. No one has your interests at heart, and through technology we can gain some freedom. Technology is an unstoppable force, and it's going to be painful for the people who want to control human behavior through currency manipulation & taxation.

It's true financial freedom. The freedom to own something. The freedom of privacy. The freedom to move my wealth out of my country to another, and the freedom to transfer part of my estate to any of my heirs without having the government put its nose in my business. The freedom from divorce rape, and the freedom of purchasing whatever I want, whenever I want. Monero is the part of my wealth that cannot be taken from me.

I read into the tech a long time ago while I was still in university (the cryptonote protocol). The tech itself is what I'm long on. Ring signatures are ingenious. The frequent hard fork mechanism to introduce updates is also a great solution for adapting a blockchain for new challenges.

Monero is genuinely useful to have.
