    To me it sounds just like a crypto push. Next he will have echo chambers promote his shitcoins as an alternative to overreaching banks and government.

    You know, it’s funny how they say, if you get these consequences like getting your bank account closed, it means YOU were a bad person and you deserved that, but, what happens when the people in charge are the bad ones? You lose your hard earned money because bad people dont like that you’re a good person? Banks can’t be trusted, no one can really, we’re all just following a system that works because everyone agrees to follow it, what happens if we don’t? People decide, you know what? I dont think this virtual money that was printed out of thin air actually has any value beyond being a colourful green piece of paper. Alas, that won’t happen, a man can dream. Would be stupid to deny that this system has made everything so much faster and easier to work with, won’t talk about the risks of it though.

    Would a crypto like monero for complete anonimity and not being able to be frozen or DAI for a less anonymous but also freeze safe option be a good option to save my money in? I know cash is king, but, I’m speaking from a simple “what are my options?” pov.
