RE: What Are YOU Trading Today and Why?? E. 6 of a Community Based Resource for Everyone! 1-28-2017 + LTC thoughts.

I agree I dont see the point of Lite coin at all.
Monero looks very good to me simply because of its anonymous transactions ability.
The more I understand crypto the more I realize why anonymity is so important.
The way I see it, it is the best form of security we can have on an internet that was never built to be secure in the first place. Eg: If I have a million in the bank then a thief can "see" I have a million in the bank and so knows where to go to steal it from me. However, if I have a million kept in a hidden place and know one even knows I have a million then a the thief (hacker) doesnt even know where to look to steal it from.
Thieves on the street, watch for people checking their jackets or tapping their back pockets to check that their wallets are still their and safe. But all they do is advertise to the thief where to steal their wallet from.
I once knew a guy.
If you had to go into a dangerous neighborhood, where there was a high risk of being robbed, there are only 3 ways to secure yourself.

  1. Buy protective body armor
  2. Buy a Gun
  3. Surround yourself with body guards.
  4. Be a fast runner
    But what if you had the ability to become invisible?
    People talk about CPU speeds and that´s great, but if you are invisible you can just take your time and stroll.
    Personally I am looking into investing in Monero.

I will look into Peer coin too. Thanks for the tip @inelliguy

Great comments. What you are discussing the last 3/4 of your post is known as the Gray Man approach to blending in, not standing out, etc.

TY for commenting , have a good day my friend.

Yeah exactly, the blending in, camouflage as well, I suppose:

Camouflage proper (ie typical military colour/patterns that are popular) is the exact opposite of what you want .

Camouflage to blend in and not stand out is what you want. Everyman type of regular looking clothing, no bright colours, the less logos on gear the better, etc.

Jack here is an expert in all these topics -- tell him I sent ya. LOL

Cheers barry
Fascinating! Never heard of this before.
I can see it would be good for an assassin to a "Grey Man".
I wonder if there are any Grey man types on Steemit lol!
Interesting video, thanks @barrydutton

  • You are missing the point here. If you are being tailed or harassed or surveilled as a regular, peaceful citizen by anyone, as I have been, or many others in a violent world, THIS is the key demographic here.

Nothing really to do with nefarious things or agendas or those types of people.
