      they even downvoted you, looks like I have hit a nerve 😁

      edit: such a stamp would be a good addition to monerosupplies store 😉

      Generally, votes are overrated. Especially if you’re not mainstream, by definition most people won’t support you, won’t agree with you, won’t understand you.

      Some things may be downvoted because they’re too stupid. But occasionally, you might be downvoted simply because you’re a bit too early. Like, if you’d said “being gay is not crime” or something 50 years ago, you might have got downvoted… Just a thought.

      Vote counts are worthless regardless, doubly so in a federated environment. The fact that they can move things up and down in ranking makes them prone to abuse.

    If only I could pay for my groceries/gas/utilities/taxes/loans with crypto. Alas! I have to convert it back into fiat currency first.

    If you don’t want it to be pulled from circulation, make it a lot smaller. Chop marks don’t get bills pulled. Try a small Monero logo, or a tiny getmonero.org, with total area the size of the typical chop mark you already see on $100 bills. If xmr.org redirected to getmonero.org, using that would be even better.

    This will be exactly as effective as Operation Lioncash. That is to say not at all effective.

      Your opinion will discourage no one from spreading awareness of a non-fraudulent money systems to help people escape the banker scam.

    Yeah… It won’t actually increase the value of crypto… You’ll just be associating it with nutjobs like anti-vaxxers or insurrectionists who are the kinds of people who do stuff like this… The kinds of people who follow URL’s they find on banknotes, you probably won’t want in your community

    You’re just decreasing the value of both here…

        Yeah. But what about monero? Again, it doesn’t help it either.

      You still believe in “vaccines” AKA toxic injections? 😆 You have a lot of catching up to do.

      The data is clear vaccines are 100% useless and most likely harmful, it has been a fraud from the start. It is based on a nonscientific premise of virology.

        Yeah. I’ll believe my mate who studied immunology for 5 years and has a PhD. Who was trained by people with actual lab and research experience. But sure mate. I’m sure a bit of Google and you’re the expert eh lol

        You can do what you want. But defacing bank notes just is cringe and turns people away from what you’re trying to promote, because they will see it like a scam

        That’s why only crazy people do it

          In personal discussions, people of such credentials confirmed that they also just “trust the [academic] process” and “don’t have time” to check the foundations of their convictions. And that they didn’t know, but “there surely was someone specialized” who does.

          More clearly, in this context, saying you trust your mate is equal to saying you trust your recorder that is replaying the cassette that someone happened to have left in it.

          You are right, it is best to trust the experts, they’re totally not brainwashed with intense indoctrination and huge personal and professional conflicts of interest.

      Idk, I think finding an ad stamped on my banknote would probably just sour my opinion of the thing being advertised. Especially if the ink runs and gets on my hands or clothes or something

          I think this time it maybe banker bots, they are angry about having their scam notes “defaced” AKA improved with info about real money.

            when we try to build our own financial system this makes certain kinds of ordinary people really mad for a lot of dumb reasons. they haven’t been told that they are allowed to think it’s cool yet
