This is how the Desktop Mode looks in #GrapheneOS. Here you can see how some apps look. Below is a screenshot of me typing this post in Amethyst and two instances of Vanadium on different profiles (Private Spaces) demonstrating unique VPN connections to the same applications on the same workspace.

Here is how the apps resize.

This will continue to be improved in the Android 16 QPR2 based release of GrapheneOS on the way and possibly be available outside of a developer option in Android 17.

not sure bitcoin needs it, but these things are nice to have

Every structure has jurisdictional risk, but a well-designed international trust is one of the most resilient legal mechanisms in existence. Confiscation is only possible if the entire legal system collapses. With the right jurisdiction, professional trustee, and multi-jurisdiction setup, that risk becomes extremely small.

It’s an old JD Rockefeller saying, he was a huge proponent of using trust structures and clever corporate structuring so that non of his assets were held in his name, however he still had full control of their operation. No one could take anything from him, because on paper, he didn’t own anything ,

Hello Primal. I’m Reid Scar and im new here!

I’m a contrarian thinker who spent the last twelve years working alongside billionaires, watching how real wealth and real independence are built. Not through social media tricks, not through chasing trends, but through structure, control and long term thinking.

I’m here because I refuse to play the mainstream game. No Instagram. No X. No YouTube. I want to share my message and build my business without being shaped by the platforms that control everyone else.

My life revolves around one idea. Own nothing and control everything. I help people create and control their own financial infrastructure so governments, systems and outside forces can’t interfere with their lives. I also operate an investment fund that denominates in BTC and ties directly into that philosophy of sovereignty and real ownership.

I’m here to grow, share and learn. To connect with people who think for themselves and who want to build outside the noise.

And thanks to nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvvfjx2a3wve6kuqpqspdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpspauzxr for the inspiration to finally get started here.

Looking forward to connecting with as many of you as possible!

Firmen sind der rechte Arm und somit Teil des Staates. Firmen müssen nach den staatlichen Regularien tanzen, werden sonst geschlossen. Die Idee hinter Bitcoin ist Staat (und somit auch Firmen) und Geld zu trennen.

Stop paying taxes will land you in jail. Bad idea.

I don't think I'm going to get to a point of teaching her about coin control any time soon.

An 80 year old family friend called me for financial advice because her kids wouldn't "help her buy crypto"

I'm advising her to buy $100 of Bitcoin on nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306spp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsueqn9x, giving her nostr:nprofile1qqsxc56ajk5xtxerf4dqspgrfa0s5elrcr80lnz9nasldq87j3zzf0cc5h4hk's The Big Print and telling her that after she reads it I'm happy to help

What would you do?

Sounds complicated

Stop giving misinformation.

Bitcoin does not offer privacy of transactions.

If you want true transaction privacy go for Monero, which is not really supported by exchanges due to its strong protections.

So, in what world you decided that bitcoin is freedom. Freedom from what?

Companies are the extended arm of the state as they have to play by it's rules orherwise being shut down.

The idea of Bitcoin is to separate money and state (including companies).

P2P and no KYC is the only way.

>Connect your card to your own Lightning wallet, and spend Bitcoin globally across 150M+ merchants

THIS IS A FUCKING LIE!

You are not spending sats, you are spending fiat!

Those cards are nothing else than another fiat scam.

If you go to a merchant with a VISA cars, that merchant will NEVER adopt Bitcoin because it will continue to accept VISA cards.

Guys, please stop this madness !

Stop shorting Bitcoin with Alby Hub + nostr:npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu⚡️

Most bitcoiners still (unknowingly) short BTC by holding fiat.

Here’s how wavecard + Alby Hub let you actually live on bitcoin paying bills, rent, and everyday expenses.

Square really went with that for the sats symbol 👎

exactly. no one knows wtf the sat symbol is. this is good branding for the normies

If Europe and UK goes ahead and Apple makes back doors to chat apps I’m leaving the iPhone for good.

I want my privacy!

Man so important to call this out. Love robo but need to fix this

well, I got scammed on robosats... again...

identities on robosats are a problem, robots shouldn't be disposable; I would like to know if the counterparty I'm dealing with is a new one or has been reported by people I know as a scammer.

The crazy part is that we probably still have 5-10 years to front-run nation states.

DON’T waste it!

Google has changed its Play Store Policy in response to our reporting. Here's why this is a big deal for developers.

Since our story yesterday, several people reached out to me about Google Play Store delisting non-custodial wallets well before the policy in question came into effect in July, asking for local licenses under what was previously known as their Blockchain-based Content Policy.

One of these wallets was Electrum Wallet, who thankfully documented their ordeal with the Google Play Store publicly.

It seems that as soon as a local jurisdiction codified licensing requirements for software wallets, Google wanted to see that the developers obtained said license, making no distinction between custodial and non-custodial wallets.

If no license was provided, it appears that Google auto-banned flagged wallets for policy violations, leaving it up to the developers to prove that they did not need a license under local laws.

In the case of Electrum Wallet, getting their wallet back into the Play Store took over 100 days. That's 100 days in which no new installs were possible, while existing users weren't able to pull updates. A big deal, seeing how some updates push critical security fixes.

By fixing their newest policy to now specifically exempt non-custodial wallets, non-custodial wallet developers will no longer have to prove that they don't need a license if they are flagged, but can simply point to the fact that they are a non-custodial application, referencing Google's own policy.

Never thought I'd say this, but thank you Google for fixing this, and thanks to everyone who helped raise hell to make it happen. Let this be your reminder that protesting injustices actually works, and that we should be doing a lot more of it.

As a side note, I am open for apologies and do not hold grudges for dumb takes (@`Jameson Lopp`)

I love living in America 🇺🇸

All in.

On bitcoin.

On marriage.

On family.

On faith.

On America.

The perfect life.

ok, but i have no control over the decisions that governments make. I am not advocating for such a system, i am just thinking of the effects it will have on the world, and if it’s necessarily that bad. Was trying to think of positive outcomes.

I would say i’m a bit liberal yeah, but mostly centerish. But liberal these days means something completely different so i don’t even know anymore.

I’m more interested in how incentives shapes behaviour. Doesn’t necessarily have to be state-directed and top down.

Tired of cheap chinese crap everywhere. Maybe people will start saving their money and actually buy good quality stuff locally— not made with Foxconn-style labour. Low time preference.

How are tariffs on china a bad thing in this sense? I get that it’s a lot more complicated, with iphones being assembled by foxconn and the complexities of the supply chain… but still, isn’t this directionally ok? Even if we have to pay a higher price?
