Serious question> How does Bitcoin help with a better future when we do not have privacy. We are building our own surveillance machine and make it super easy for them to go after us. Just sprinkle madatory KYC over it and we are done.
Discussion
We have to fight back by building the tools to help us regain our privacy. Bitcoin helps us be able to finance anonymous developers working on projects like nostr, tor and others. This is why my whole philosophical thesis is around the sovereignty that cryptography can offer us, but it is not enough. We have to actively build, create, empower, and educate about what these tools can do, but that part is on us.
We have to fight back, no question about that. We should make it as hard as possible for them to go after us and as easy as possible for us to make them obsolete.
A zero privacy chain which is more and more being used through custodial wallets and trusted third parties ( mints ) is making it really easy for them to enslave us all
I dont see how a fully transparent store of value will get us to freedom.
We need untraceable p2p money and not use their shit anymore.
I am a Bitcoiner since a long time. I lost my faith in it.
