Another day, another exchange I am suspended from.

All of my funds are conjoined or swapped between LN/XMR for privacy before sending to exchanges, triggering all sorts of nonsense AML flags.

The exchange I am with now is requesting proof of funds, meaning it wants to see fiat coming into my bank account from an entity I have a business relationship with, asking me to "kindly assist them" in surveilling me.

Except that all of my business relationships are handled in bitcoin – meaning that it is impossible for me to show proof of fiat funds.

Alternatively, the exchange says, I could send them “the address” to which I received payment in the last year, matching the amount of money I have exchanged on their platform.

Obviously no such address exists as I create a new address for each transaction (and so should you). Additionally, much of my money comes in through donations, for which I simply do not have an invoice.

I could now send them every single zap I ever received on nostr in the past year – for context, that would be over 250 zaps in the past week alone, s/o to all the zappers – or I could move my business to Switzerland, where I can exchange up to 1000 CHF per day KYC-free (for now), which is what I’m going to do.

However, since I’ll be more heavily relying on peer-to-peer exchanges from now on, I’ll likely have my bank account flagged for receiving weekly payments from randos on the internet, making it fairly foreseeable that I’ll be losing my bank account in the coming months as well.

Fundamental rights violations aside, the amount of complete nonsense work – and with that costs – this system creates both for the Government and private institutions is absolutely astonishing. If there ever was a true bullshit job, compliance officer would no doubt be it.

It’s time we end the global discrimination complex inherent to the financial system in which we are all guilty until proven innocent, only to upkeep an inefficient system that is useless in preventing crime but formidable for imposing mass surveillance on the people.

So no, I will not "kindly assist you" in surveilling me, and if I die on this hill.

Until then, shill me your favorite tools to pay my bills in bitcoin 👇

End with its “none of your business”

Wasn’t their business to start with

Maybe an all-you-can-eat restaurant?

Got to take the pamps with the damps

New spreadsheet added to the website today:

The spreadsheet generates QR codes, no macros, no array formulas, no application add-ins, no sending information to the interweb. You can generate QR codes independently and audit the process.

Small spreadsheet (300kb), only 25x25 and 37x37, but the formulae are built so you can expand to other sizes with a little work.

Playing with it is more fun than I thought it would be. Enjoy it and let me know any constructive feedback!

If a contract says payment of #bitcoin “en specie”, how would that be delivered?

One attribute I appreciate about #bitcoin is its attribute to let people be.

In #fiat, the money you earn nags at the edge of your consciousness, always demanding your attention.

“Think about me! Invest me before you fall behind! Spend me before prices go up and you lose purchasing power! Don’t put too much of me in one place as I might disappear!” Yes, fiat nags, all. the. time.

Time is scarce and fiat’s distraction keeps you from giving their time to your craft, to your art, to your passion.

Sure, a small number of people enjoy investing, but the majority does not, yet fiat demands you either play the investing game or pay the price. No alternative.

Then #bitcoin happened, and everything changed.

“Go ahead, do what you love. I’ll still be here when you come back.”

Bitcoin gives you time, gives you mental space, and does not demand anything from you because bitcoin doesn’t need to. Bitcoin doesn’t have more of it being made by some unseen actor. Maybe someday you might spend it, maybe not. It doesn’t matter. It will be there.
