If you value privacy, it is hard to see how someone can be against "green pieces of paper bearing pictures of dead presidents".

the argument then goes to the fallacies of fiat currency, or the implications of the fact that said paper may soon have pictures of a live president on it
> may soon have pictures of a live president on it

Hopefully not for long.

Just to clarify the comment the next time I am stopped at an American airport, this means the term lasts for four years, that he can't run again, and that his successor would remove that inappropriate image as soon as they could. Personality cults are not a healthy thing in a democracy.
That type of money can be printed at will causing devaluation.
Downvoted by people who don’t value privacy :)
Wake me up when you carry your phone in a Faraday cage. Also, stop participating in any social networks.
We’re talking about something else, but I like to see you staying on topic.
Using cash for transactions then posting what you got on Instagram is the privacy equivalent of the Maginot Line.
I understand your point, but that’s not what I personally do or in general people that cares and advocates for digital privacy.
