#Bitcoin is too risky, but maxing out your credit card at 25% interest just to buy more useless crap is perfectly fine.

Some people don't just deserve to be poor. - They actively campaigning for it.

... and we're poor again

the leader never shows up to any meetings 😤

There is no "I told you so."

There is only, "I wish you listened." Grats to those of you who did.

$100k is an incredible moment in #Bitcoin history, and I feel fortunate to be a part of this with all of you. 🧡✌️

No problem! I'm down with people using what they enjoy; as long as they're not using unencrypted messengers or big tech ones (Telegram basically falls under both categories), they're doing good for their privacy. It just irks me when people buy the Signal FUD and rush to act like SimpleX is the ultimate, end-all option haha

The biggest is definitely the fact that a vast majority of its relays are run by the company, which is a for profit company that kinda just showed up out of nowhere. The tech itself seems solid but it's concening to me that the relays are overwhelmingly run by the company.

Also, unlike Session, itd be incredibly easy for governments to set up honeypot relays. If I'm not mistaken, there isn't any onion routing in SimpleX, meaning they wouldn't even need to do a sybil attack to know metadata like your IP.

Does it work yet? Last I tried it had issues

If people enjoy SimpleX, more power to them, but I just don't find it to be a good experience at this point in time. There are also some valid concerns over its security that I'm also questioning myself.

That said, nothing about it is inherently bad, just not for me haha

Simplex is better imo

The only metadata they can get from Signal is frequency of messages and the size of the message files. Everything else is encrypted. There's a feature with Signal called Sealed Sender, it makes it so anyone looking at the data being exchanged can't know who messages came from. This means that unless you and your contact are both active targets of the government, they really can't do much with that minimal metadata... Or, at least, nothing they can't do with other options.

Now, if you need total anonymity due to being a whistleblower or something like that, I'd definitely recommend Session instead, as it's anonymous, has almost no visible metadata and is onion routed. It's not great for a daily option, however, thus why Signal is the best option for the average person.

in the Morning!
