Here is the crazy part: even if you required KYC in an ecash system at every step of the protocol and it would still have amazing privacy.

Mining: Calle mints 1000 sats.

Mint knows Calle minted 1000 sats.

Swapping: Calle sends 500 sats to his friend. Friend swaps them to prevent double-spending.

Mint knows friend swapped 500 sats. Mint does not know that Calle sent 500 sats to friend!

Melting: Friend pays a Lightning invoice for 500 sats.

Mint knows that friend has melted 500 sats.

That's worse privacy than a system without KYC but the transactional ecash pricacy would still remain largely unaffected due to the properties of blind signatures. I'm not saying this is desirable, but remarking an interesting observation. Regulated companies will choose their own policies for operating an ecash system.

In 2024, there was a slight decline in the global money supply (M2), while Bitcoin's price witnessed a substantial increase - a noteworthy and unusual correlation. Consider the potential outcomes if the global M2 begins to rise once more.

At first, I bought #Bitcoin to invest my money.

The revolutionary vision part came a bit later!

Oh I have now a valid NIP05 in NoStrduel

Disable CORS was the solution !

For me it was obvious that he isn't Satoshi the day he tried to fake signing a message in that hotel room. Everything after that was just entertainment. Calvin will drop him like a hot potato. He already got what he wanted from Craig, his own currency to process gambling proceeds for his offshore gambling empire. Ayre already had his own network of money handlers before BSV because he's been violating US gambling laws for over almost 20 years. BSV made his life so much easier and it's a brilliant setup.
