Some great thoughts in here. There are a lot of reasonable people with divergent ideas that are demonitized, debanked, or economically cut out. It would only take one major OF girl to request donations in XMR, or someone like Jake Shields or Dan Blizerian or some famous money guy or whoever to get into it and we would have instant and very strong adoption.
We're honestly close. Peter Schiff and Nick Fuentes have both mentioned monero, but only offhand and not as an endorsement or even description really. Someone should reach out to @FromKulak on Twitter or Anarchonomicon on substack. The monerowall feature is actually the killer app here. It's hard to make money privately writing and every data point and leverage point discoverable by your enemies and the gov will be used against you. If we start reaching out to those people, it could make stasher the new substack.
neither of those two are needle movers.
we need someone cool.
It's one person. I suggested her because she already accepts monero making conversion interesting and she produces high quality dissident articles. Also, like I said before snowballing small communities would be a good strategy. She is also plugged into some other interesting alt-right circles so if it works well for her she would be a pretty big advocate.
Check out this article if you haven't, not sure what you mean by "not cool" honestly. It's a subjective preference, but I find her work interesting. Martianwyrdlord is pretty good too on twitter and substack (Postcards From Barsoom).
Not paying taxes is always moral. Declaring it is almost always stupid. I think a lot of newcomer dissidents or principled protestors are going to find out quickly how bad things actually are. Especially if they don't plan well.
Targeting the next 1% is a good goal. I actually think we need to target alt-right/nationalists. There are tons of alt-right/nationalists that say "Donate on Patreon/paypall/venmo" or "Donate with crypto (no monero included)" from their 3 times censored podcast on rumble because they got banned off YouTube, but they don't know enough about monero to ask for it or integrate it into their funnel structure. Not to mention everyone that donates is getting put on a list. You could probably target progressives too, but they will be a harder sell because some retard will say it's bad for the environment or undermines taxation or some other bad faith criticism meant to alter behavior not make logical sense and they'll fold.
We also need to go through and make sure agorist infrastructure uses it. I remember Derrick Broze put out an agorist newsletter as a collaboration with others and they only allowed BCH not XMR. We can't let ideological moonboys keep selling the dream to technologically impaired dissidents. It makes the whole movement weaker. Also, glad this site doesn't require email. Having to maintain a bunch of different emails is a pain in the ass. I'll probably do a post asking about that later.
Remember the community is relatively small (and we're up against bots, feds, shills, and NPCs) so finding small communities and advocating to them will be highest impact. Then it can snowball from there.
