Growing Plants for Privacy

I just realized that people plant trees and flowers could be for privacy reasons, like if you have a unique house, people who passby maybe curious inside, at least I am. The area I'm currently in has many beautiful homes, but you don't get to see much as there are many plants in the little garden.

Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it also blocks others' views; what a subtle to protect your privacy - sometimes, protecting privacy doesn't need many fancy tools, which reminds me of many Bitcoiners using so many fancy cold wallets; you really don't need them, all you need is a simple USB, subtle and does the job without causing so much attention!

Why did this end with "USB"?

If people try too hard to protect their home privacy, it's almost like saying they have something valuable to hide. It's the same when people use all those fancy cold wallets, it's almost like saying, hey, here is where I store my coins.

I guess the best way to hide or protect anything is to avoid causing any attention in the first place, so you use a simple USB to build your own cold wallet and keep your stash. 👀

It could have been SD card, it could have been airgapped laptop, it could have been writing your seed phrase on a piece of paper.

Because you know, the "fancy" tools are there to protect from automatic programs. Things that don't suspect, but just try to infect as many computers as they can and grab what they find.

Now I agree that buying a prebuild means you're in that companies customer list and if that list is leaked (such as it has been in Ledger and Trezors cases) than that puts you at a risk that could be avoided with DIY, but I have a vendetta with USBs!

Fundamentally tho, bitcoin is not private. definitely check out Pirate Chain, Dero and DarkFi
