We don't strongly disagree here - we're both protecting our online privacy by bouncing that traffic around a little, through either a VPN or Tor.

We're betting our freedom on the assumption that the bad guys won't compromise each hop. It's easier for them to compromise PornHub and then my VPN than it is to compromise each LN hop. So Monero won't make my wanking any safer; the dick police will just go after the weakest link.

The value overflow incident was a bug that allowed some dude to give himself a bazillion bitcoins. It was caught and fixed before he spent any.

I'm betting on the ability to have the masses learn to protect themselves by adapting to FOSS.

In other words. We're all gonna die. Very fucking soon. Faster than any cracker can break Monero.
