Now that is the question. P2P, no-KYC etc. I’ve not dabbled yet but would like to open this discussion up to learn.

I’ve heard of Robosats but not read about P2P options or how you buy - it is how Satoshi designed Bitcoin to work so I should make time to learn
Hmmm. Good question. I think it is as Satoshi sent BTC directly to Hal Finney in the first ever “transaction”. If memory serves. Exchanges didn’t exist yet though. Good question.
Someone told me the other day that they think Hal finney is secretly Satoshi
Brilliant and was a massive contributor but I don’t think he was. Adam Back as well. Huge contributor. There are a few more names on this list.
Hal has long been the #1 suspect to have been Satoshi.
I've even heard a compelling case that it's Elon Musk.
Musk can’t code. He’s an actor. And a good one. A bag of shit is less full of shit than he is. IMO.
It's worth the thought experiment.
Energy. Storage of energy. Peer to peer payments. Etc.
"Musk wrote the software for his first companies, Zip2 & X.com, which literally specialized in peer-to-peer payments.
X.com’s source code was written in C++ and described as monolithic & So was Bitcoin’s.”
Satoshi’s use of ‘bloody hard’ and ‘order of magnitude’ were hallmark Musk expressions. Satoshi wrote with double spaces after a period. So did Musk."
I don’t think we’ll ever know but that won’t stop us talking about it 💯
RoboSats is excellent. The escrow model keeps scammers out effectively, it runs over Tor and Lightning for privacy, and the fees are very low.
The “premium” you pay for privacy is worthwhile: I try to think of the “discounted” price on KYC sats to be the price I’m willing* to sell my data for.
