Well, somebody needs to secure the network, so there needs to be at least some people mining it. But yes, you are definitely right. It is more efficient just to buy the Monero instead. I mine a little bit myself, knowing that I'm not going to profit off of it, but just contributing my hash rate to the security of the network. But most of my monero, I purchase. Eventually, I would like to see a world where you could just get paid for your work in Monero and it was a normal thing instead of having to purchase it on an exchange and deal with capital controls, fiat, shit coins. You know, I don't think I have ever been called a psyop before. That's a new one for me. I generally see myself as the most anti-psyop person you will probably ever meet. LOL. My friends all think I'm into like conspiracy theories and shit because I always say the government is out to hurt people. I am also highly interested in personal privacy and people look at me like I'm nuts.
