Assume your highest cost basis as a basis for that, and pay additional taxes. That way you can't be put in a box and if anything you overpaid. That or use the price of the btc at the last transaction/deposit.
Then learn from your mistakes and use bitcoin the way it was meant to be used.
I was reading about the latest news on EU surveillance plans and prepared a blog post and a podcast about it.

The Neural Network Podcast covering the latest news on EU Surveillance plans:

What is your opinion? Are the EU’s surveillance plans crossing the line, or are they a necessary evil?

Is this pod a tirely generated and narrated by ai? Voices seem off.
Yes, that's the one. It's responsible for the EU travel rule, and every other country as well. Countries and regulators are in the implementation phase. Takes a few years for policy to become law, and law to become enforced.
I suggest everyone developing value transfer tech do so anonymously. If there are balls to grab, governments will grab them.
Gleam of hope: Maya Parbhoe running for president of Surimame is the ONLY non-north Korea country to openly denounce the FATF. Donate to her campaign on geyser.fund if she gets elected that country will be the only bastion of freedom left, in terms of Anti Money laundering requirements like the travel rule.
This is coming worldwide, and it's called the travel rule, originally created by the financial action task force in 2018 when they revised Recommendation 15.
Legislation has passed IN ALL COUNTRIES with various degrees of implementation. Search for "Travel rule [enter country name here]" to see how it's implemented there.
Make no mistake, us, Canada, el Salvador, etc etc will ultimately be compliant with this.
I am a civil servant and have actually drafted the law to impose this requirement in my country, and I'm now trying to speak up about it to warn everyone. If you know a podcast who may want to discuss just tell them to reach out.

The open source micro-kernel is interesting but idk enough about embedded to comment more. could this micro kernel be used for ASIC control boards? could it run on an ESP32? How does it connect to secure elements?
The KeyOS piece sounds interesting with the sandboxing. I wonder how it compares to nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5? How does it compare to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll? How does it compare to nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h?
I like that it's in Rust, mainly because I can poke around an embedded Rust project.
Bluetooth was a big red flag but I'd be interesting in a protocol tutorial video or similar. Something just a step more understandable than an RFC spec, but that's cool too.
Use Cake Wallet once upon a time so cool to see it's sill around.
Wtf is "Magic Backup"? And how does it compare to nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg? (cc: nostr:npub136jg2fnty2z5vwcnh7p4jpckrs3tk0dpueftgs7mznuuaenjpfps6tjnxf)? I assume Shamir sharding is so it can support shitcoins so that's not cool. But if it's open source, I wonder how FROST or other Schnorr schemes might be added as an option for master key.
They're charging money, but it seems that it could be self-hosted in time. Again thinking of nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll and how it might be paired with the Magic Bakcups.
If it had an e-Ink screen like nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h I'd probably buy one.
For my security posture and understanding, there are too many radios on this thing so i"ll be sticking with a dedicated device.
Well for one daylight computer co use an OS with full Google as fat as I know, so I think they should be lauded on the hardware front not the OS side of things.
I listened to something for privacy interview on it. Worth a listen

Well done there. All covid-era dictators should be thrown in the trash bin, at least those who haven't admitted to wrong doing and seen error of their ways.
Sorry nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5, but an app with 6 trackers is unusable for me. #Nostr means freedom. I will cancel my account immediately. #Privacy

People care about privacy and you should too..... Where is our data going and how is it used?
Yes I'm really confused by fountain.... Nostr and bitcoin people behind it, but they refuse to make their app open source with reproducible builds.
I did point this out and one of the project people addressed my concerns. I'll post his perspective here below my comment.
As for privacy, way to go! There's an amazing app on F-Droid called insular. Check it out and use it.

This isn very satisfying, thank you for sharing
DOGE doesn’t stand a chance against the deficit. Sorry. That said we still need to cut govt red tape and personnel.

I saw this video as well. Indicates that doge will only issue "recommendations". Which I think rings true. The government can simply ignore the recommendations.
We shall see how things play out.
For those who don't click on websites willy nilly, what is the project?

Like the tune and the words. Now going to checkout cryptoanarchy.institute as well :)
Plausable deniability is a thing. Move your btc to an intermediary wallet, reset your hardware wallet (check it works by restoring it etc) then move back to your hardware. Depending on the hardware wallet you use there's no way for them to ide tofy you. (E. G. Ledger isn't a good option they likely tracking all sort of things from you, IP etc etc.). Use a VPN while doing all this to help.
Yep hardware level bypass is a thing. I harped about the Intel management engine on intel chips (and has same and I'm sure apple silicone does too) that allow access to your hardware (including networking) without you even knowing it.
I'm suspecting thats how snowden could see people mouses move from the CIA computer, and see everything others did.
Wouldn't be Christmas without some good doom-porn popping up in underground forums.
Thanks for that explanation. The person I had spoken to was slightly off.
