I don't want to work for the state or the banking system. I only want to work for myself and my family. To do that I must cut the state and the banking system out if my life. They won't let me go willingly because they consider me their slave. But their power rests upon my work, which I hereby withdraw.

It's not that they would overpay. They would pay in fiat (which they can create), not in sats (which are what they are trying to acquire).

We agree on the current Bitcoin consensus rules enough to stay in consensus with each other and not fork off

When the bankers start trading their made up money for bitcoin utxos directly, they'll pay the mining pools out of band with fiat in order to get more sats. Fee estimation will get borked

I thought the Unix time thing was 2106 in the case of bitcoin due to an extra bit being used?

ETFs have fees, MSTR shares don't. Also BTC/MSTR share is increasing, while BTC/ETF share is fixed. In either case you have no ability to claim the underlying bitcoin.

Exactly, wall st. needs exit liquidity for trades. He's meant to draw in dumb retail so they can be dumped on.

my recommendation is hiring a cheap but decent VPS from somewhere outside jurisdiction and installing wireguard on it

if you are handy with the linux shell it's easy using this:

https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

once you set up the one on the VPS, you can add a client, and for mobile devices it conveniently generates a QR code, which the mobile WG client can quickly add a new connection with

my experience is that less well known IP addresses don't get messed with so much by web server spam filtering systems

probably best to use tor to establish the accounts on these sites to make sure the payment servers don't tag you - the service I use has LN support via btcpay, which is pretty much anonymous as XMR would be, for those who think XMR is the bees knees, LN over tor is actually better because it doesn't leave a permanent trace on the blockchain at all

i'm not so concerned about them knowing who i am, but even still they have bogus details in their database and i'm in control of at least my part of the VPN's logging on the wireguard side

What's a good cheap but decent VPS provider with no KYC?

15th anniversary of the mining of the genesis block

Oh, potentially if you wanted to give the 2nd key to someone for safekeeping, they couldn't do anything with it because they wouldn't be able to generate the wallet. But as you say, passphrase achieves this also

2 sat/vB transactions where going through for all of October. The best way to use lightning is to open/close channels when it's cheap so that you can benefit during times like these.

Shadow has shown us the way. Run the banks. Get the collateral before anyone else can.
