I wrote this website in org mode. For more information, see the [[file:README.org][README]]. Here is how I upload my
website:

-I run these code blocks from within org files in order to actually execute the commands!

it be used as a means of exchange? Probably not, but it's cool and free for me to do so here you go:

+An anonymous form of ecash, the only one out of these that is actually being used for the purpose
+of currency (on the dark web):

+Only Monero and some forms of ETH tokens for privacy reasons, and maybe they can become better than fiat,
