I stake out by reforming the Bank Secrecy Act would be pivotal to financial privacy and Bitcoin in my Bitcoin Policy Institute article

On nostr:npub1qw6e8meaj5gzk49alamh9qf35lpmml5sq7ctjtxhcjk55qppmcjs0j2v52's Bitcoin Layer podcast, I made the case for Bitcoin transactions and activity being protected under both the First and Fourth Amendments.

As we've seen from recent Supreme Court attempts to overturn the third-party doctrine, there are legal interpretations that would protect our ability to use coinjoins, second layer protocols, and much more.

If we can start with reforming the Bank Secrecy Act, we could empower Bitcoin users even more by removing the dragnet financial surveillance forced on bitcoin exchanges and liquidity providers, and also to underscore the inviolability of self-custody and noncustodial tools

i would assume that anyone who's gotten their signal "hacked" actually had their device compromised (pegasus, etc.), rather than the signal app itself

has anyone been successful in getting LNURLp for their Voltage lightning address?

Not a great entering I know, total noob here taking my first steps into the decentralized world! Still figuring out how everything works (and making sure to keep my private key safe from the start 😅)

Looking forward to learning from all of you and being part of this community!
