đ§”If youâre a creator and youâre not using privacy coins, youâre doing it wrong.
Monero. Zcash. Real financial privacy.
Hereâs why every artist, builder, and online worker should care â before itâs too late.
1. The digital economy made you free.
No boss. No office. No gatekeepers.
You make things. You earn directly from your audience.
But guess whoâs watching that income?
2. Every platform now doubles as a tax authority.
Patreon. PayPal. Stripe. YouTube. Substack. They automatically report your earnings to tax agencies.
In 2024, the U.S. lowered the 1099-K threshold to $600. The EU passed DAC7 â platforms must report all seller income.
3. This isnât about evasion. Itâs about survival.
Creators in most countries pay 30%â55% in tax.
In some, youâre taxed before you even withdraw.
Where does that money go?
Censorship. War budgets. Surveillance networks.
Youâre funding your own leash.
4. Monero and Zcash fix this.
âą No public transaction history
âą No address reuse
âą No platform cut
âą No tax trail
âą No visibility
Monero: default privacy, battle-tested
Zcash: strong tech (zk-SNARKs), supports full shielded txs
Both let you get paid without being watched.
5. Your audience is global. Your income should be untraceable.
What country do you âoweâ taxes to?
Wherever your viewers are? Your birth nation? Your platform?
In a borderless world, state claims on your digital labor are arbitrary.
Privacy coins let you opt out.
6. You donât need to wait for a government to harass you.
âą The IRS spent $600M+ on chain surveillance tools
âą PayPal bans thousands of users per year
âą Patreon blacklists creators based on politics
This isnât a theory. Itâs your future.
7. Hide your income. Buy Monero. Use Zcash.
This isnât criminal. Itâs rational.
You created the value. You decide who sees it.
Financial privacy isnât a luxury â itâs your only leverage.
8. The uncomfortable truth:
If youâre creating online, and every dollar you earn is being siphoned, tracked, and stored...
Youâre not free.
Youâre just monetized data.
Buy Monero. Use Zcash.
And stop bleeding for systems that hate your freedom.
