=> I do not expect a publicity attack on XMR. It is so difficult to use still, nobody will cease to use it because of another bankster campaign, but their even mentioning of it might cause more to join in!
My experience is, to do the exact opposite of what the mainstream media and banksters tell you, then you are quite fine
How do you know they're not anticipating that kind of mentality and using targeted marketing based on comprehensive personality profiles to exploit that kind of anti-establishment behavior to benefit their cause?
I find that it's best to base your decisions on logic and reason that you attain through life experience and meticulous observation of the nature of reality. It is always harmful to be 100% conformist, or 100% contrarian imho.
