My fellow retards,
Phon/ongod made the switch to Brave search a few months back, and recently mentioned this to a friend. Their response was:
Same, but it blows big ass
This made for a happy deacon. Both phon/ongod and this dear phren are willing to accept the pain of a far-less-than-ideal user experience in exchange for a sense of moral certitude—willing to use services that are worthy of attention not because of their build quality or UX, but because of their moral values. That fact, that people will pay extra because they want to support companies who support their worldview…that is ethics.
This is why phon/ongod will use the Phonon protocol. So many transfer protocols are watched and tracked. Companies are paid millions to share your data. They snoop around and build a profile of who you are, where you spend your money, what relationships you have—even those relationships not with people. They track your addresses' relationships with NFT projects you support, and on chain activity you create. You don’t want this. You didn’t ask for this, but this is the natural progression whenever data is out in the open. Some schmuck is going to scoop up all that data, collate it and then sell it to the highest bidder.
If you're leaving tracks, you’re being followed.
Get rid of the notion that you can drive in a new car without somebody knowing where you went, and with whom you met. All new cars will have GPS tracking and remote kill switches. A pheverdream foretold this nightmare so it must be true.
They always want to know. They want to know your browsing habits, your shopping habits, your transport habits. Beta cucks will say “if you have nothing to hide then you shouldn’t care”…fuck that frail-framed noise. People shouldn’t have to justify that they want to drive out into a field to sit under an oak tree and look at the cardinals. That activity might raise red flags with the trackers since nobody else goes to this remote location, but fuck them. You shouldn’t justify your actions to anyone if you are not harming another.
You shouldn’t have to justify giving $10 to a friend. You should be able to do it anonymously. In the digital nightmare scenario, they want to implement with the removal of cash you can kiss this freedom goodbye. If all transactions occur strictly in the digital realm then Phonon will be the only savior for mankind.
It is past the point where you can hope to ignore their trespasses. It is time to take a stand and commence the brave search for products and services that align with your ethos.
If you believe in transactional privacy, it is time to support the Phonon DAO. This may be freedom’s last hope.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
