Direct realist, individualist, libertarian, dove. Trying to overcome my biases.

I agree with Erikha: It’s inevitable. That $36 trillion figure doesn’t even count the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare.

I’m also an anarchist and appreciate that you’re looking for non-state solutions, but I wonder if you’re expecting too much? Nostr is just a protocol, and at the very least nazis and pedophiles aren’t going to be part of any collective decision to ban them. It’s true that clients and relays can go farther in allowing users to curate their feed, but undesirables will always be able to publish on Nostr somewhere.

Good point. At least in Damus, users have the ability to report a note to relays, but relays don’t have to do anything.

You can use a centralized exchange like Coinbase, and that would be convenient. The downside is that there’s no privacy; you have to thoroughly identify yourself and they tell the IRS what you bought. Decentralized exchanges like Bisq or AgoraDesk are more private but you have to buy from someone who’s selling, and on Bisq escrow requirements mean you need Bitcoin to buy Bitcoin.

This site has a list of exchanges without Know Your Customer requirements:

The hang-up I have is that OF demands that I provide them with a full name, address, and credit card number.

I get that people have been trained to be suspicious of any account with a beautiful profile picture, but maybe an investigation is unnecessary? There’s no harm in giving her the benefit of the doubt.
