I've been seeing more and more evident hit pieces on XMR on social media, starting with the article by Greydinamics on May 17th, but just look closely at the memes and comments coming up on social media, "Monero, invest in underground crime" and other stupid shit like that...

I strongly disagree with advertising or using xmr illegally. Of course you can use any of the following for terrorism, crime, drugs, etc: your car, the internet, your computer, a screwdriver, your phone, banks, cash and so on... But that doesn't mean that's the main use, and advertising any of the stuff just mentioned as "only used by" or "intended for" criminals is beyond stupid. This is what 1984 sytle regimes use to brainwash sheep and use its people as unknowing, unpaid agents that act on behalf of these institutions.

This is an invitation to anyone who uses Monero for freedom to fight against this (likely agency or institutional) campaign promoting XMR as a tax evasive, terrorist, drug inducing coin. They're playing us, don't fall for it, Monero can be and is used for buying legal items, living a moral life. It's just sovereign money, that's all.

I disagree, but I got my point across I guess. What do scammers with bad english have to do with it I didn't understand.

You know, I'm honestly not sure. I re-read my comment, and I can't figure out where my brain was going while I was writing that comment. I know I had a reason for it, but I couldn't tell you what it was at this point.
