Even if you are a SEC regulated bitcoin treasury company you must care about Tor, or your bitcoin might go to zero.

Why?
Tor is compromised
It was compromised since the beginning. Literally created by intelligence agencies and sponsored by them to this day.
This isn't rocket science.
How exactly is Tor compromised?
Main points:
1) Huge majority of nodes are owned and operated by intelligence agencies. Nodes not operated by agencies are actively suppressed (another case this week was reported). That "node hoping" feature is pointless when you control enough nodes and apply timing monitoring on the "anonymous" requests.
2) the connection mode of Tor is seriously outdated and flawed. Establishes a single path using "best speed" which makes it easier to monitor the traffic. Even if they wouldn't know the content (which they do), they know your IP address and which sites you are visiting
People tend to say "https" keeps communications safe. But they forget that on government level you can legitimately spoof certificates and reroute your traffic using MITM when your IP is interesting enough for them.
3) Multiple leaked documents from agencies show their investment on these topics. This was literally created and is funded by them every year (even Wikipedia details that), why wouldn't they track users?
In essence: it is a glorified government VPN. There exist better options such as I2P and yet you will see federal employees actively promoting Tor around here, along with naive developers/users who don't really know anything better.

Thoughts on Betanet combined https://video.nostr.build/8be08e8f9762997ec139c96aeb4688ec8043b416186e4ff7e0a846eddef1fdbd.mp4 with Ladybird browser Brito? Thanks in advanced for your reply.
I didn't knew the project so listened to the video you sent (thanks for that). Was listening to the explanation but some things I wasn't understanding and didn't made much sense. He mentions doing it differently from I2P and Tor but then the explanation is very unclear.
For example, claiming to be able of mimicking the SSL certificates (?) and it wasn't clear how the DNS would really work. The second thing to grab attention is mentioning non-private virtual coins as paying method for something that should be private.
Then I was looking for the software to try out, but there was none to be found it seems. Which is odd, because typically you make available at least one prototype so that the spec is confirmed as working on the real world.
After that, started finding a deeper criticism on this topic: https://wednesday.wtf/betanet/
It seems AI was writing the initial draft and indeed wasn't tested in reality.
People mentioning the lack of private coin usage: https://github.com/ravendevteam/betanet/issues/37
In my opinion that project is vaporware and gives vibes of wishful thinking at best, or malicious scam at worst.
That is what is see after some brief time looking. If this opinion is wrong/unfair to that project, just let me know.
Damn. Thanks man for the respond. Really appreciate it. Guess our only and best option at the moment is I2P then.
Yeah, unfortunately. NOSTR is actually in a very good position for one day provide a valid alternative since there exist +1000 relays available and a few NIP dedicated to this topic could make quite the difference.
Let's see.
Can you elaborate? Why?
