Well I did say I still love MP3s...
Obviously good points.
But we know now subscriptions =/= to ownership.
Also nothing stops us from potentially ripping the downloaded songs into MP3s and this gives you all the access to it. Or just go rip them off youtube.
I was just providing an easy solution that still gives the artists money. Philosophically, just using mp3's doesn't inherently give the artist any funds when I can just torrent/rip them.
It's a good philosophy but that's just it. Crypto should've remained closeto it's philosophical roots.
The government legalizing manipulation of crypto by making them "assets" ruined any real implementation by tethering it to the fiat currencies. So crypto is now a moot point sadly that doesn't retain it's original anarchist intentions.
I know a lot about Monero and Ring Token technology. Used it plenty. Doesn't matter. Still tied to fiat and manipulation by proxy. Even if private. What's the real issue with this tethering you ask?
Authoritarian Control
Governmental overreach being able to examine any of your accounts and almost see a one-to-one with your deposits is a red flag. No, they cant see the amounts on the other end (Monero's private ledger). But all security is an illusion, especially for the now government backed tech like this. Eventually Ring tech will be broken by AI, ML, Quantum, or many. Plus, the exchange reports your purchases and sells that data too (legally now).
Even if you use LocalMonero and do it in-person, you have IP Addresses (bc no VPNs usually), messages between seller and buyer, and purchase amounts potentially all under the authority of private entities. Unless you've some serious connections.
All the government has to do is make it illegal to participate in crypto at all and now it becomes dead tech again (for better or worse).
Thank you for your input though! Not trying to be defeatist or an alarmist. Just a clarification on my opinions of where the hypothetical train went off the rails.
Get outta my head!!
But stick around, I could use the external motivation.
