The Haber process and artificial fertilizers also helped grow the population that much

just legalize everything

If your concerned about the storage device ‘holding’ the crypto being lost or destroyed, you could simply memorize that 25-word code that most wallets have for signing back into the account. Your address and a passcode is all you need to send money. In the case of Monero it doesn’t have much volatility (compared to other currencies) and actually when trump was tweeting about creating a national crypto reserve, while Bitcoin rapidly fluctuated from 80k to 100 and back to 80k within a few days, Monero didn’t change much. If volatility is a major concern for you, then you could always look into stable coins, like those that are set to the value of USD or gold. I don’t use them and they work in fairly complex ways but volatility is what they are designed to combat.

Also outlawing crypto is like outlawing piracy, they cant enforce it and often they don’t even know about it happening. In the case of Bybit, they had billions in crypto and NK hackers after them, so ultra high security was a much larger priority for them than it is for a casual user of it who might only have a few Monero in their account.

If you have money in the bank it can be frozen or seized by the government, whereas crypto or cash they cant take as easily. My thinking with this is that if you have $500 kept in a crypto wallet whose password is stored in your memory, and there is no physical hardware with that code, then your money cant be taken away from you by any means.

just don’t use cloudflare if you dont like it and its not a single point, like they have tons of servers all over the planet

nuclear isn’t that bad ngl France uses a ton of it

and the wastewater that nuclear power plants make, its barely radioactive at all

I’ve heard stuff like bittorent doesn’t work well when the data is often updated or changed

I might be totally wrong, I’ve only ever used it once when downloading Wikipedia

I always understood it as trump wanting the natural resources that Greenland has, along with it being positioned in a future ultra strategic location for arctic trade. like if the polar ice caps melt in the summer then countries close to the north pole will be able to send more ships easily, making any land around chokepoints in this trade more valuable - like Greenland

not saying I like any of this stuff, but this is what I’ve heard

You say the best option for storing money is cash under the mattress but I’m wondering what you think of cryptocurrencies in this case. I’m thinking that while keeping a flash drive with some Monero isnt physical, and requires internet to be used, it cant be taken or controlled by anyone other than yourself so it satisfies that at least. Also theoretically you could memorize the 25 word passcode that most wallets offer and store the money in your memory to some extent

Any way around that? Like wearing strange shoes you don’t often wear, like high heels or something?

If solar was used everywhere then it would also require a large investment in batteries to power stuff in the night There’s pros and cons for everything and probably the best solution is to have several green energy sources, solar, wind, nuclear ect.
