Financial ID (credit card #) & government ID = identity. For as long as human civilization has existed the job of the ruling class has been to collect this info. There is a whole book of the bible dedicated to the ancient Israelites getting KYCd. If we can't resist this we will forever remain slaves.
Eth is a security and Vitalik should be in jail
Another tip is to pay the protection money to You Tube and only watch stuff on there that builds your knowledge, ad free
I think people in general are mostly wrong. I know I usually am.
nostr:npub16wh52wygyh27kgdl3x6dewfx9e0el4juhfsjtclj57xwnc3qsh2qdrjkd4 is your man. He gave a great talk on setting up an LND with a Start9. I think he has You Tube videos covering it
π― listening to him for 4 hours on TFTC was painful. He rambles on and on and is not precise or considered at all with his thinking. But he is entertaining in the same way doom scrolling on Twitter is entertaining. He appeals to the accelalerationist in is all who just wants the collapse to be over with already.
Which is it today, sir?

Love it. Make them bend the knee.
The Bitcoin USD exchange rate price should be thought of as a scoreboard. The game being played is economic freedom vs centrally planned big government tyranny. What is going to "pump the price" is not onboarding sheep using "easy" custodial solutions. Ultimately what will is building freedom tools ready for people to use when they wake up to the evil designs of government, central banks and exploitative institutions like the IMF. People need to touch the stove before they learn the value of censor and seizure resistant money with no central controller of the supply. Bitcoiners need to focus on supporting open source Bitcoin-only devs and projects with their time and money to allow builders to build better and better tools. These tools are needed badly because Washington, the EU, the IMF, the Fed etc., will do all the work of promoting Bitcoin this decade. There will be ever encroaching and burdensome KYC and more and more will lose access to free and unrestricted banking. More funds will be frozen. There will be inflation and capital controls. The ship is sinking and the need for Bitcoin will become increasingly apparent with every bank collapse and ever central bank intervention. That is a mathematical certainty and simply a matter of time. Let's give a platform to devs and builders. Let's donate to devs and open source in general. Let's protect devs from legal and other attacks. The game being played is a game of freedom vs serfdom and the scoreboard increases only as freedom increases. It is not inevitable that "we will own nothing and be happy(sic)" We have a choice but we must either be building or be supporting builders of freedom technology.
