I’m blue checked on twitter. Legacy blue checked too, but who cares 😂

I pay in bitcoin (via a pre-paid visa card) and share minimal information that is widely known.

I’ve done this since they rolled out the service bar one month where I tried to work without it.

I am grateful for services like the Bitcoin Company that allow bitcoin-only people like me to use fiat rails.

Im not picking a fight. I want to demonstrate that journo’s and content creators can pay for twitter without doxxing 🫡

If and when twitter does ask for my gov’t ID… well that’s a different conversation!

I use prepaid visa cards for almost all my online subscriptions.

It works like a charm, particularly when they have Stripe at the checkout.

Cool. How do you deal with the tax on so-called "realization"?

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

i don't understand. what do you mean by this?

Christian 2y ago

Sorry, capital gains tax is what I meant. When you buy the prepaid visa cards with btc. But that may not be an issue in Portugal? In Norway it is..

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

the price has to go up a lot for me to have a capital gain 😂

Christian 2y ago

zapworthy!

Although the problem is not the payment right? The issue is giving Elon access to a group of verified users and their data so he can make use of that and make even more money by selling/using it for ads.

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

Sure but I’m verified as what? A credit card holder in Portugal?

From your credit card info, They know who you are, where you live and have real time location info. of where you are every time you log in. If some govt entity wants to arrest or silence you, it couldn’t be easier 😁

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

maybe re-read the post. I paid in bitcoin

𝖋𝖎𝖆𝖙𝖉𝖊𝖓𝖎𝖊𝖗 (¯`◕‿◕´¯) 2y ago

Oh I missed that part, 😆 you are right paying in bitcoin will make it easier for anon to stay private but in your case since your identity is public, finding you is very easy

Ledger fucked me over with that one. Fortunately ive moved house (im technically nomadic)

And on top of that, verifies users will try and play by the rules or else loose their check and non-verified users are effectively shadow banned by default.

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

that's always been the case. if you're on twitter you play by the Twitter rules.

The new system of shadowbanning sucks and is very evident.

As "not a bot", that is enough for the time being

₿obby₿uckle 2y ago

Wait! So you are now telling us your name isn’t Joe? I’m confused.

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

Well it is and it isn’t. Are you the government?

₿obby₿uckle 2y ago

The only governance I do is when I self-govern my bitcoin😎

Joe Nakamoto 2y ago

Idk I don’t pay much attention 😬

Which card do you purchase? There are hundreds
