Yup, I want "unobtrusive, lightweight, compatible, and secure." Basically, the best case for an OS is that I don't notice it.

And:

  • privacy friendly transactions

For example, think of:

  • activists and political dissidents
  • victims of domestic abuse
  • people who don't want banks and governments tracking their purchases

Bitcoin ain't it, bit privacy coins like Monero exist and tend to not have as much fraud spam since they don't have as many crazy spikes. I want Monero to be a thing because:

  • low fees, and no foreign transaction fees
  • privacy, so my bank can't sell my transaction data to advertisers
  • fast transactions

I wouldn't use it for everything since it has no purchase protections, but I'd absolutely use it for a lot of small stuff if it was possible.

Honestly, I think we do need more fat. Everyone seems to be obsessed with less fat and more protein, but fat is an essential nutrient. If you want to lose weight, I recommend increasing your (healthy) fat consumption because you'll get more satiety per calorie vs carbs, and fatty foods are more likely to have protein than carbs.

If artificial fat can replace dairy or destructivly farmed veggie oil, I'm all for it.

Yup, it turns out it's a lot easier to build on something than create something from scratch.
