If self custody of #bitcoin was made illegal tomorrow, would you be ok?

Are your coins 1 hop from a KYC exchange?

Do you have any plausible deniability?

How is your on-chain privacy?

These are important things to think about now before the thought itself becomes illegal.

#FinCEN could make this nightmare a reality in January. The time to prepare is now.

If only I could whirlpool any faster

Ditch windows and apple. If they start banning linux, you have them at your side. Use only open-source and form networks to protect eachother.

Except large corporations are at the forefront of Linux development. Red Hat/IBM, Ubuntu/Canonical, SUSE, Oracle

A lot of binary blobs in the software

I am not aware of this

, now the #Switzerland CBDC "pilot" starting in december (and me assuming) it is to clean up the hole in state budget brrr was the meme

gopf VISA even took over the CS&UBS card paying/paying cards

Indeed, but we can switch to modified linux kernels.

are you a faker? how do we know

hypothetically, someone has 1 bitcoin in self custody (half onchain, half on phoenix lightning), bought from Strike (ie. doxxid), no full node

what are the next steps for this person to protect the funds and create plausible deniability?

Go on a boating trip, take pictures, and post on social media. Kyc coins, i found out, are traceable, so its always bsst to but nonkyc and not mix your kyc with nonkyc. Just have two sets of keys. You can also try mixers, but i dont have recommendations as ive never tried moving kyc coins

I think the best thing anyone can do is just do their own research right now.

This is a good privacy guide, but you should always DYOR: https://bitcoiner.guide/privacy/

There are many other good resources out there. nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g comes to mind too.

Is there a way they could find where geographically you are moving coins from? Even if they can see the coins leave the address, how do they stop you from spending them unless they can find your location?

yes i think somewhere, if not transacted through Tor and vpnz on correct broaser with minimal fuzprint and not through selfhosted electr server and such - AND if doze two gubblemenz in kwestikn R frens 🤝, then dey can ezily trek dat if dey rly wanted :3

I think I understood most of that 🤣

I guess if flight doesn’t work, I’ll have to fight. They can stop me but they can’t stop us.

Yeah, my on ramp is productivity. Fuck banks

Fuck 'em. They couldn't make me put a diaper on my face, they wont be able to take my coin.

What steps can be taken to prepare for this?
