Sad but true.
With KYC, no way to evade extortion.
Yes, with Robosats you can buy without permission and without KYC
But, and I'm pondering this, will it be possible in the future to safely sell Bitcoin and avoid theft by the state?
I'm unsure. Sure there will be countries where it will be possible, unless there is a global dystopia.
But I worry that in most developed countries they will monitor bank accounts, so they will see the robosats transaction, unless cash is used, which may be forbidden by that time, at least for larger transactions.
I guess we don't know the future.
For sure using non KYC today, gives us more options in the future.
Although I also can't rule out a scenario where they will make non KYC Bitcoin illegal. Ofc good luck enforcing this, but it would push all transactions to p2p gray markets.
Anyway. Yes. Just a few thoughts. I don't have answers.
I use standard notes.
Not exactly a to do list, but I use notes with bullet points as to do items or notes in subfolders as bigger to do items.
Things like parallel economy, you mean?
Like buying food from a local farmer, face to face, using Bitcoin?

I have not read the last one yet, I came across it only recently, but I had a ton of conversations about it with AI, and I've been doing some of the practices
Yes.
I put in prompt what does not work, or how I want it differently or copy paste the error message. And it typically solves it or we debug it together, step by step.
You can ask chat GPT to help.
It can guide you step by step.
Troubleshoot errors.
Write the code.
Update it.
Help deploy it with specific instructions.
I was impressed when I tried.
I was able to build a working app even though I'm not a developer.

This is interesting.
Supposedly self custody and yield on a stable coin called YLDS, approved just now by SEC in the U.S.
I have just came across.
Perhaps worth taking a look.
Before you cry shitcoin, notice that they claim it is a stable coin pegged to USD, and you self custody it, and it is approved in the U.S., and you get yield.
If true, I do find it interesting while I'm not at a #Bitcoin standard just yet.
What people think?
Has anyone even seen this note?
Where can I see chat like this live?
With money supply and Bitcoin price that is.
Thank you.
I'm nice
Not overly nice, but nice
Builds a habit, for me, to be nice
Gives it a feedback so it knows what I need in a given conversation, large token windows now
And you know, if one day AI rules the world, I hope it remembers I was nice to it :-)

The percentage adoption is what?
Percent of people, globally, using it?
Well, taking someone else's Bitcoin because you guessed the key... Isn't it?
At least that was my interpretation.
If someone guessed my key and took my Bitcoin I would certainly feel like it was stolen.
And you can't print manufacturing capacity or energy... Like you can dollars and euro and yen...
It is fascinating and at some point I was thinking about building a code to automatically check random keys.
But I decided against.
Two reasons. Practical and ethical.
The practical is, extremely unlikely to succeed, even less chance than with mining, which is exactly the strong point.
The eithical is, it would be theft.
But yes. It is a non zero chance.
It's funny how old school the old ones look.
While, I still remember, each, when launched, looked so new.
In a few years, I wonder how it will look.
