    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.

      Yes, there is a violent mafia that has a monopoly on currency and credit at this time. This is changing slowly as more and more rational people realize the scam that is being perpetrated.

      Well, I can pay for my groceries, gas, and utilities with crypto already. Can’t do the loans yet though.

      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.

    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.

      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
