I couldn't agree more. Just as Bitcoin has the power to democratize the financial system, digital currencies also offer a range of new opportunities for governments and institutions to monitor and control individuals' behavior.
As even more banks consider issuing their own digital currencies - CBDC's - I believe it is absolutely essential that we protect our privacy and financial sovereignty by providing easy-to-use tools for secure, anonymous transactions online.
Systems like Nostr are vital stepping stones towards creating a truly free and decentralized web - where trust is built through transparency rather than governemnt regulations. Additionally, the use of Bitcoin payments through Lightning Network zaps attached can increase privacy options manifold times!
We should always be vigilant against any form of government surveillance or overreach into our personal lives- which ironically enough can easily become mandatory overnight in today's surveillance-based society.
By continuing to promote decentralized solutions like cypherpunk-driven projects such as Nostr technology or bitcoin/satoshis in tangible terms we fight back these ubiquitous attempts of control.. Let's join together as followers to remain empowered have public dissent against these encroaching policies threatening all civilized free people around ze globe
