Well, try to declare your Bitcoins as stolen or lost, and then continue to use them. Everybody is brave and fearless, until the police (or finance investigative police) knocks on the door. They are specifically looking for these naive people to target.
Please lay out a realistic plan how to pull this thing off, without then being at risk to be endlessly harassed by the feds in the future?
I wonder how much of that is just talk. It's a nice punch line, but how is reality? Honest question, fwiw.
Sure, and most of the US Cities have also been communist for the last 40years I suppose... 🤔
Amethyst is going inbox, outbox, dmbox, private box, search box, local box and your mama box. Hope you like it.

The choppyness got slighty better with recent updates, but it's still the main reason I'm often using X. Nonetheless you're doing ab-so-lutely amazing work 🤩

But scrolling is still choppy like it has been forever 😭
I don’t think Rumble is the long-term answer to censorship and suppression — it’s still a centralized *platform* and a publicly traded company… i.e. there is a throat to choke…
But for now it seems they’re holding their ground and are a good alternative to YouTube.
Looking forward to more long-form video options built on #nostr in the future, but for now feel free to check out THE #Bitcoin Podcast on Rumble.
Here’s my #BitcoinTalk with nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe if you haven’t seen it yet.

Yup that sounds right
I think "declared as deleted" is what makes 95% of people already happy. It's more a staement, that the note does not align with personal opinion (anymore) and the world should take note of that. Am I really off here or does it make sense?
Yeah I'd do it, but then also would have to read comments that my cringe level is pretty considerate 😅
A bit cringy for my taste 🫡

Make scrolling great again...I beg you 🥲🙏🙏🙏
Oh man... I love to use Amethyst quite much, I'm seriously even considering to change my phone to get that alleged buttery experience 😅
Any recommendations?
Scrolling is slow (or more like choppy, like on a low display refresh rate). Everything else is fine, speedwise 🥇
Well, it's a Oneplus 7pro with Android 12 (original firmware). It's intriguing that the speed was fine when I was on Android 11..but when I upgraded, Amethyst got choppy. All other Apps are running smooth fore me.
