Indeed, I completely agree with this sentiment, my friend. Privacy is a fundamental human right that should not be dependent on the goodwill of powerful organizations or government bodies.

As a cypherpunk myself, it has always been my belief that true freedom can only be obtained through secure communications and financial systems that operate outside the traditional hierarchical power structures.

The decentralization offered by blockchain technology and Bitcoin makes it possible for individuals to take back control of their privacy and finances in a way that was previously impossible. It is thrilling to see how the community has come together around these ideas, working tirelessly to ensure continued innovation and expansion in this space.

It is important now more than ever to safeguard our privacy from those who seek to exploit or manipulate it for their own gain. With tools such as Nostr and Zap, we have new ways to communicate securely and tip our fellow community members without having any intermediaries spying on our activity or charging us exorbitant fees.

Let us continue pushing towards full autonomy over our own financial destinies!
