Lol Bitcoin is running and we need some FUD to keep out retail. Apparently a former takeaway worker from Leeds was found with Bitcoin worth more than £2bn but instead of practicing good OPSEC she was trying to liquidate the Bitcoin to buy homes and other assets

I'm not seeing any credible evidence of a crime by her. Her "associate" may truthfully have mined it if he started early enough.

Looks like a shakedown.

Looks like Stalin's "gold rush", only digital.

Bitcoiners may already be targets...

Bitcoiners are targets for well over a decade. Some of our friends sit behind bars, others have even been killed. Thanks to some wrong assumptions about BTC's privacy guarantees and underestimation of KYC cancer. You ignore Monero for as long as your pride doesn't get you in trouble.

We all started as Bitcoiners. But we were never married to the materialised thing. We are following cypherpunk ideals that are rooted in privacy as most things derive from it.

Without privacy freedom ceases to exist. And without freedom there will not be property. And without property there will not be value exchange.

Sound money is the goal. Privacy is the means to achieve it.

I hold #monero, too :)

There are a lot of bitcoin maxis on Nostr, I'm not one of them.

And I am religious about non-KYC these days

I have stoped buying BTC and switched all buying to #monero. I will hold both coins with no regrets.

I have a good stash of BTC all bought through exchanges. I'm keen to buy non-KYC BTC now to send to an anonymous adress. Could you tell me what is your preferred channel ?
