Bitcoin is not money, it's property. Cash is fungable, but cash is going away too. I still have hope that bitcoin gains fungability through layer2s though.
Copy out his public key from his website and paste it into your pgp client.
I like his conary. It's a nice touch.
Nobody should be punished for wanting privacy #coinjoin #taxes
Well, i guess you can say whatever you want if they aren't open source. The burden of proof is on keet.
Normies when they see KYC:
nostr:npub1tsrh6g3etzdahj0jgnvec86z0sqw7yhkcq9l578m4tyv8v5976yseatmmg please define "disposing" of them.
dispose as defined here
What they don't tell you is that if an irs agent (during an audit) can't trace your BTC all the from the orignal purchase to the final sale then you run into trouble. When this happens then there is missing info, like a wallet that you might have used temporarily to transfer between wallets, a coinjoin, etc. Then you have to figure out and remember what you did years ago, for every transaction. Did this go to an exchange, come from an exchange, from exchange to exchange, etc? If you try and do your taxes you will see the tax software try and do this for you, but if you are a power user it simply geta it wrong. All of them get it wrong, and none of them agree the truth, neither will the IRS.
Like a CDBC without calling it a CDBC?

We are not going to win this by voting, sorry.
I hope you don't get 6102'd. All the best.
US Department of Commerce Wants to Impose KYC on Cloud Services and AI Training
- "The new rule would require that U.S. providers of IaaS products (including U.S. resellers) implement and maintain a written, risked-based Customer Identification Program (CIP).
- "The proposed definition for “Infrastructure as a Service product” is "any product or service offered to a consumer, including complimentary or “trial” offerings, that provides processing, storage, networks, or other fundamental computing resources, and with which the consumer is able to deploy and run software that is not predefined, including operating systems and applications."
- The Commerce Department is soliciting comment on the proposed rules for 90 days, with submissions due to the agency by April 29, 2024.

Here comes the anti-ai agenda, and while we are at it, all computing except 'ours'. I can imagine apple is loving this.
Do both, but custodial is only good for small amounts, and #cashu is the best type of custodial.
A lesson in hard/soft forks and UASF
Just remember that everything on the blockchain is public, and with taxes the burden of proof is on you. If you create complexity, you will be the one responsible for intangling your web. Guilty until proven innocent, and all that.
Coinjoin is something you do on chain, cashu lives in lightning where everything is already moderatly private.
I agree that it’s a great business case. It just goes a bit out of what I believed was the first intention. It’s sad that it feels like this space is becoming more like Wall Street with a few unregistered companies that have monopoly and create needs and selling a vision of sovereignty when in reality we are just a bunch of sheeps in a corn field.

As long as apple prevents sideloading, this isn't going to change for iOS. Is there a sovereign way to setup iOS? Sorry, i know nothing about apple, and have no way to recommend guidance.
Maybe you didn't use it properly.
Use ACINQ phoenix for lightning users that can't run a full node, ZUES if you want to manage your lightning channels yourself, and then #cashu for receiving small payments while the user is offline (Having an LN Address). Cashu offers better privacy and you don't have to kyc or ask for permission.
For everything else, pick a full node solution. Obvously a hard wallet for larger amounts.
