Take back your privacy.
Use Tor & a VPN like Nord or ProtonVPN.
Use an open-source cold wallet to stack your BTC - ColdCard and Bitbox02 BTC are good options.
Use non-custodial LN wallets
Buy BTC without KYC.
Use email providers like Protonmail, and make use of their additional accounts and alias features.
Run your own node.
Don't let them take away your basic rights to privacy and fight the good fight 🤙
What is KYC?
KYC means know your customer/client. It's the process of identifying and verifying the client's identity.
Think of larger exchanges that ask you for ID, proof of residence and all the additional information when signing up.
Buying non-KYC is buying BTC without the above.
I am considering running a laptop or micro PC with Linux just as a wallet, paired with a hardware signing device and connecting it online only for spending, just to reduce exposure to malwares.
At the same time I wonder if a burner, app-stripped phone, ideally with an open source OS, wouldn't also do the job while taking less physical space. Spending would be then done with PSBT I suppose.
Running a node would be my next goal but that'd mean another device, since it should be connected all the time.
Can we just have it all in one device and with best security? 😂
I am in no way technical enough so I am still trying to figure out what would be the most fitting setup.
Despite whether you're technically inclined or not; you're on the right track 🤙
PSBT are the way to go! Albeit slightly more time consuming; the added security of air-gapped transactions greatly make up for it.
You don't need to go from 1-100 in one go, but step by step depending on your privacy and security requirements is the way forward.
Thanks, agree it's about step by step. So far I'm ok with a Ledger + Sparrow. Private emails and keepass.
Malicious attacks and inheritance are the concerns.
I'm not the biggest fan of Ledger due to their closed-source nature and the issues with Ledger Live but great choice with Sparrow 🤙
Yeah if I had knew before I think I'd have opted for seed signer!
See if your security requirements change in the future but it sounds like you have your head in the right place 🤙
Build a #[2]
Good suggestion 🤙 Will include it in the future for additional things for Nostriches to pursue and learn about.
Mullvad VPN is the way
This is a great suggestion too! I do like that their pricing model and payment methods. However my only concern comes from Sweden being a part of the 14 eyes countries.
