Are you sure we are winning?
Yeah, I’m sure we’re winning. There wouldn’t be a fight if we weren’t.
Go take a look at the number of people who signed the Declaration of Independence that made it past the revolutionary war. I take no pleasure in that comparison but this is nothing so far.
Fuck yeah, this only shows they're desperate. It's just the beginning of a long war.
We are definitely losing and not winning
There has been a major attack against bitcoin for the past 3-5 years
Your second bullet point is so wrong it hurts.
Cant predict if "we" are winning but "they" are losing.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid.
All things work together for good to those who love Bitcoin and are called to stack Sats.
Bitcoin and zaps make everything better.
Not to start flaming but the tandem btc-xmr has a lot of sense.
Good question, but counter question:
"Is the goal of Bitcoiners to 'win' or to create a parallel, resilient economy."
For the later it seems the legislators are helping out by creating division.
i think more importantly, USA first, and secondarily EU, are both creating socialist prison systems in earnest, pretty much copying along with what china is doing, and if you think back to how history ran with the last time massive increase in socialism happened, ie, bolshevik revolution, nazi germany, fascist italy and spain, what was the smart move for a pleb at that time?
yes, GTFO!
it's long past the point where it was alreadly clearly past the point of no return, i think at least you can say 2001 was the point of no return, when they started to intensively surveil all communications, banking, transport, and social media barely even existed at that time
Trade p2p without KYC
The government is one giant lion. Bitcoin is millions of honey badgers.
Zoom out. We’ll lose battles, but we’re winning the war.
I sure hope so. I was more sure before than now
The only play the fiat ghouls have is a kettling operation and narrative control and they better get after it. Clocks a tickin'!
Yes we are winning.
Maybe just not Bitcoiners subject to American law.
If Bitcoins success hinges on the particular laws of a nation then it is destined to fail
*checks price*
Yes.
So literally all fine if ngu.. right.
This attitude is part of the problem. People have been sleepwalking on privacy and generally in denial for a very long time now.
We need seemless atomic swaps between BTC and Monero. Once this happens we are invincible.
Halfway there with UnstoppableSwap
BasicSwapDex also exists (but not super beginner friendly, setup involved). Looking forward to Serai dropping sometime this year.
Unstoppableswap.net ?
Not enough of liquidity.
Fuck this mentality. It will bring only harm to yourself.
Grow some balls. Live up to your ideals. And be the fucking change you want to see in the world.
Sorry but I fail to understand how to be liquidity for myself 😐. I mostly change in one direction.
Can you explain me how?
more atomic swap markets will be arriving shortly within the next few months stay tuned ;)
User-friendly Serai DEX should be popping off sometimes this year. Haveno too.
Question: Can ANYONE stop you from receiving and/or sending a transaction?
Can you use VPN (which allows you to use ANY app to on-ramp to #Bitcoin)?
If the answers to those questions are; No. Yes. - and they are - then they can continue to fight 'us' or they can join us.
But they can't stop us - it's world wide too. Keep the list going - let them keep trying wasting fiat! It just makes Bitcoin adoption go FASTER!
(I would add, be sure you run a node and have a small miner running sometimes - the miner is not necessary but in order to keep the network secure and diversified we all need to encourage these activities - it's OUR bank)
Kyc all miners how?
nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze doesn’t KYC. And there will be more oceans in the future. #7seas
ocean is the best pool hands down
* Monero under loads of txpool attacks
* Rune tokens and ordinals also driving load to bitcoin blockspace
* USA Election year
* The current administration began publicly R&D for CBDCs over 2 years ago giving it more time to develop
* Brazillian government silencing speech and becoming more dictatorial every day
* Less and less right wing protests, less and less participants
* Rumble blocked in Brazil
* New term invented by the EU "unhosted wallets" to possibly be regulated
* Life getting more and more unaffordable due to the effects of inflation
* Physical cash getting less accepted everywhere
I wonder, if another COVID or similar era of tyranny were to happen AGAIN, how different will things go? will it be harder or easier to fight back this time around?
* Telegram blocked in Span
* WoS pulled out of US
* LN in shambles, no bolt12 adoption, reliance on lnurl and LSPs
* Swan closing accounts of users that mix
I know there's no character limit on nostr, but at some point, my fingers get tired and I have to stop 😂
hate towards samurai devs but it affected everyone, still there is no legal rule but everyone compiled already! so much for censorship resistance and unconfiscatable nature.
We are not winning we are getting psyoped.
NGU Michel Saylor cultists will get us all wrecked.

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT “KYC”?
If I have to sell coins for fiat then I pay fiat taxes.
The solution is to FUCKING LEAVE TYRANNICAL COUNTRIES
You misunderstand the real issue. If the only issue with KYC was taxes 😂.
It's about control. All countries are tyrannical, no exceptions.
Please explain it then.
No one can stop me sending my self custody KYC coins anywhere I want. Regardless of what some NSA database has tagged it.
Their violence will not save the fiat system.
This is happening everywhere and you're not paying attention.
Your all caps shows your unhinged worldview.
Our goal here is to free the world, not run and hide in a hole.
How do you propose we achieve that without defunding the tyrannical governments?
