I think we are all neglecting the KYC oncoming for internet access. Couple that with the owners of the network refusing to xmit encrypted data, and all cryptocurrencies become permissioned by the network owners, including XMR.

For me, that reduces the value of all cryptos to equality: $0.

If we want to be able to communicate, with every phone call and text presently being harvested by carriers, when that also becomes the case on the internet, we are going to have to own our own network hardware.

Reticulum enables rNodes to create a mesh network, and such nodes are very simple hardware and software that cost less than most people's cable bill for a month. Either Reticulum or something like it is the only option I see for freedom of speech and cryptocurrency to have value going forward.

Even if BTC goes >$1M, the permission of the network owners can imbue each BTC owner, each transaction even, with any requirement they may impose, at their lest whim. Buying a steak? Not today, carbon causer! That turns every form of digital money into the equivalent of a CBDC.

I have already adopted alternatives for transactions that I have employed, but aren't easily adopted. I use goodwill, and that is only useful by people of good character with people of good character, and that is certainly not universal.
