Fuck you man I’m listening to the vault shills. Why? Pic fucking related. One burglar with a crowbar and your fucked. If your safe is lite it can be lifted. If it’s heavy it can be busted into. All you gotta do to realize how easily this can happen is to watch home alone. Harry+Marv just target homes while people are on vacation. What are you gonna do when you leave your home? Hire an armed guard to babysit your precious metal? Not me I’m too much of a nervous Nellie. I’m gonna pay the vault security .6$ per thousand invested to guard my sliver. Mike Maloney says there all guys with guns protecting the precious metals. I like.

Damn I didn’t know Mel Gibson used to be a hippy

The whole concept of “gambling” started as a means to trick overly confident pompous drunk bastards at the bar into wagering away all their money on dice, cards, wether or not some guy could shoot 6 bottles with his revolver blind folded. It’s also where most lotteries and shit were born. Because drunken gluttonous pigs could be talked into wagering their money into anything, because drunken assholes always want something for nothing. People did learn that some things could be strategically beaten, so there’s a niche in the whole world of “gambling” for pros at certain card games. As for your choice in gambling, slot machines, these were designed for the biggest chumps of the whole gambling world. You really think someone is going to develop a machine let it sit at the corner of their bar and it just hands you money for nothing if you “strategize” properly? Fuck no. They put them there because there’s enough drunks, fools, and low life’s out there to literally push a button for 50 cents a push hoping that the machine will spit back a fortune one day.

>but for those of you prepping for SHTF type scenario, what real world utility do you think monero will have in a CBDC future?

Obviously if your in an oppressive regime like Canada during the trucker strike, CBDC is not going to be your go to currency.

>Is it likely that monero will become a stand alone medium of exchange even though it has the steepest learning curve of all crypto? Will monero ever transcend the darkweb/edgy cyberpunk stigma and appeal to the normie market to force more adoption?

I don’t want it to ever transcend the dark web/edgy cyberpunk stigma. Literally has its place and it’s use. It’s a tool for the little man to be able to stand a chance in a world of oppression and censorship. It really shouldn’t have any more “stigma” to it than cash in a safe in your home, only difference is that this is a digital version of cash in a safe. Perfectly normal and decent people stack cash in a safe. But it’s something the Taliban and the mafia does too. So some may think anyone with cash in a safe is evil and up to nefarious things. But couldn’t be further from the truth. Privacy is always going to be important for a society’s sanity. Privacy of their assets and money is too. And privacy is something that’s been under attack since fuck head George w bush did his whole “war on terror”

No such thing as 100% anonymity. Cash for the last hundreds thousands of years was anonymous as fuck so long as you traded peer to peer. I’d say the best ways to be really really fucking secretive about it is to use a pic of a gift card+receipt to someone on local monero. Ultimate best and most secret is cash via mail. Could you be giving the shit to a fed? You most certainly could be. So I wouldn’t just trade with one single dealer too much. Even if a fed is starting to try to track you, well… you got monero, something they cannot trace. What are they gonna do in court? Say “oh yea uhh I sold this man a few hundred dollars worth of monero via cash thru mail. While I was undercover on local monero. So he owes AT LEAST that much in taxes.. oh but we can’t really prove he’s sold his monero for a gain because. We don’t know what he’s been doing with it, or how much he stack doing other things, or if he bartered it off in person for other valuables. Hell we don’t even know his balance”
I really don’t worry at all that a fed is buying or selling me monero at the end of the day. I hope they keep doing business with me in fact. I might be a little worried if I was actually part of the cartel or something but even then I’d feel safer with monero than cash, bank money wire, etc. Monero ends the fed. Better than silver does.
