This is the most fed-like behavior ever:

Paying both sides of the war, in order to control the narrative and make sure that no significant development ever happens

Jack Dorsey is no stranger to collaborating with 3-letter agencies, as evidenced by #TwitterFiles

Now we have to believe he’s a new person who somehow adopted a new lifestyle under the Bitcoin standard… while completely cutting ties with his old friends.

I ain’t buying it. Unlike many of my peers, I’m not under Jack’s payroll and can afford to speak my mind: this is what we get in order to prevent us from scaling Bitcoin and making it private. Eternal conflict, chaos, and infighting that breaks year-long friendships and reputations that took many years to build.

But hey, at least the price went up. Why aren’t you happy?

What I have noticed about bitchat that seems suspicious. When I use a vpn set to foreign countries, even if I turn off my cellular service it still picks up my actual location. So I thought maybe it’s using my internet service to figure out my location. I turned off my WiFi and used cellular and it still shows where I am, not the vpn location. Can someone explain how this works? I thought the VPN would block my location.

You might have a DNS leak. Have you tested?Bitchat needs location, network, and Bluetooth permissions. It also uses geohashing. It is possible to do other tests. It also uses precise location, WiFi scanning etc. That doesn't mean it collects data and sends it home.

I’m not technical enough to know what a dns leak is or how to test it. 🤣 I just decided to delete bitchat.

So, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. This popped up. This is how they initially found my location. It uses nearby Bluetooth devices.

A VPN changed your IP address. This hides your location if a site uses IP to locate.

Bitchat uses GPS/Bluetooth for location so VPN does nothing unless you spoof GPS coordinates as well.
