With our increasingly intrusive government I see a lot of peopletrying to justify their actions with rationale like "I don't have anything to worry about because I'm not hiding anything" etc.

Well how far are you willing to go? How much privacy are you willing to give up in the name of security?

On a daily basis I'm reading about violations of our rights, freedoms, and privacy, the latest of which I read about is a town having installed video cameras in public restrooms, recording people even when in bathroom stalls. This has been going on for a good 10+ years and they justify it by saying you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public restroom.

So do you agree with this view or do you find it intrusive? Would you allow cams in changing rooms? In your car? Your house? Where does one draw the line?

The news reported is very sobering.

To tell you the truth, I don't think we have ever lived in a truly free country with privacy. That is one thing I want in my life is to be able to do what I what, when I want (as long as I am not endangering someone or something) without the fear of being violated in some manner or another.

Having cameras in restrooms is absolutely unacceptable and should be considered a violation of law. It's offensive to me as a human-being and especially since I'm from the U.S., which is considered "the home of the free". This is obviously not the case in many circumstances, although I do love my country. New Hampshire's state motto says it best; "live free or die".

I think the concept of "Willing" with regard to our privacy (or any illusion of it) no longer applies, and hasn't for a very long time.

  8. N @ nickelz34: I am an opal sponsor where do I find the password for the pass protected section ?
  9. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  10. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  11. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
  12. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: What's good guys! Just got back home. Missing football today :( Fuck the probowl lol
  13. shoutback @ shoutback: Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Better than Aldo or Holloway at their peaks.
  14. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  15. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  18. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  19. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  20. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
