Used my Stimmy to buy Monero, is this what Treason feels like?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>A few days ago I got my $1400 in the mail, it came on a little visa card. This was my very first stimmy. I filed taxes late and the first stimmy they gave to everyone else, they took away from me before they gave it to me, so this was my first. </p> <p>Anyway, I activated the card, connected it to Cash App, and got some misc. amount of bitcoin. I sent that to cakewallet and got the Monero. I probably could have bought it all in cakewallet, they have a card option now. </p> <p>There was this wierd rebellious feeling as I did it. It felt like I was rejecting the USD dollar and all of its elitist, convoluted rules, backing away from whatever violent actions support it. - and substituting it for something I really believe in: privacy, anonymity, freedom from permission, censorship resistance and so on, you know: the cypherpunk and crypto anarchist ideals. </p> <p>It was a lot of fun. I hope to experience it again. Think they'll give out more stimmies?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SpawnMagic"> /u/SpawnMagic </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/mkwikz/used_my_stimmy_to_buy_monero_is_this_what_treason/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/mkwikz/used_my_stimmy_to_buy_monero_is_this_what_treason/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
