We all have to live in the existing system. I understand this.

I suppose my objection lies in the bridging of the two systems. Don't bring the rot of the old system into the new system. It's already being corrupted enough by existing on ramps but those on-ramps are just a bridge that should be burned on the way to freedom when they're not needed anymore.

What nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea is doing is giving the State tools within the new system to surveil and subjegate users and companies. You cannot comply your way our of tyrrany.

Choosing the easy path of compliance is a great way to make fiat gains so more businesses can "on board" to bitcoin. But what are they onboarding to? What precedence does this set in the minds of these business owners? Ofc you'll hear from all of then how onerous the State is, but why not develop sly round about ways to circumvent the State?

Furthermore, businesses afraid to use Bitcoin because of the regulatory regime are not the ones I want using Bitcoin.

This is a technical revolution. If you don't have the stomach or spine for doing what's right even when labeled wrong, just stay in flat land.

Disappointed in nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9 and disappointed that a "Bitcoin" company isn't building freedom tech.

Two companies to be wary of now: Swan and Amboss. They claim to be Bitcoin companies but do not exhibit a good ethos.

Just my two sats.

Once you understand that this is an internal policy tool for businesses and not a tool for enforcement, you'll begin to understand how fundamentally different Reflex is compared to existing products.

Reflex is closer to an approved vendor list than anything resembling a speed trap.

You make the internal rules. You apply them. Now it's easier to talk to a bank because you have proof that you didn't pay XYZ because you applied internal rules.

The point is enable more businesses to use lightning, not enable more enforcement actions.

Your products have broken incentives.

Surely the State won't use those incentives for malicious purposes.

Just keep following orders. 🫡

That's the same thing.

1. The FBI is a data buyer too

2. Bank compliance with FINCEN is law enforcement.

They call it "surveillance capitalism" although that may not fully encapsulate everything going on.
