The attention Monero has been receiving on CT lately only reinforces my conviction that XMR could explode in ways most people won’t understand until it’s too late.
@Dontshoothedata@sebp888@BooneW Real world utility. Wake the fuck up. It’s not your usual North Korea hack trying to launder money. Is someone that was selling critical information that put his life in danger, who asked Monero as way of payment. This shows one thing: Spionage world probably uses Monero 24/7.
@Dontshoothedata@sebp888@BooneW He got caught cause they already knew who was him. Not cause he got paid in Monero. He didn’t know he was talkin to FBI or bout to get caught. Your position is the only crap one here. The reality: the fuckin US Gov was asked to pay in Monero for information they were lookin it.
@Dontshoothedata@sebp888@BooneW The point isn’t what the FBI was willing to pay. We’re talking about someone dealing with some of the world’s most sensitive secrets. Someone whose entire world revolves in in espionage. Russia. China. UK. And when it came to getting paid, he specifically requested Monero.
@Dontshoothedata@sebp888@BooneW Why?! Simple:
- Someone that works in a very critical and dangerous environment, life of death type of environment, valued Monero.
- With that, FBI acknowledged the value of Monero. FBI indeed bought it and payed in Monero.
U think after that, FBI didn’t start usin Monero?!
@Dontshoothedata@sebp888@BooneW The point
- Spy asked someone to pay him in Monero.
- He asked to FBI itself.
- FBI, to understand why, definetly did a due diligence to understand why Monero and not Bitcoin.
This situation is extremely bullish no matter who was the person who asked to be paid in Monero.
