I watch Snowden, listen to the underlying message of cooperation to change the system. Bitcoin is great but datasets will know everything, we are all doxxed. What is my takeaway ? Honestly, I haven’t got a clue how I as an average individual can help. I moved to Bitcoin for NGU, I stayed for the Revolution but I’m about as useful as a chocolate teapot in bringing about meaningful change. I am awake I guess. Sometimes as the saying goes ignorance is bliss, because the flipside is constant frustration and inner torment at the wrongs being allowed to occur. What’s the answer ? I really don’t know but I’m not going anywhere. I hang my hopes on the clever devs and I just remind myself to never capitulate

You bought #bitcoin. That action alone is enough for change and to show what kind of person you are.
You did tremendously well even if you can't see the results yet.
A long time from now will be when you start noticing how your contribution helped the world.
Laying foundations brick by brick takes a really long time to complete.
Let’s hope so 🤙🫂
The good thing about those datasets is that they are spread across the world, held by different entities. They also definitely have limited knowledge. They have no idea where my sats goes in lightning, for example.
I hope as Snowden says ‘we’ cooperate to build out more and more privacy based tools to counteract the mounting surveillance
