"Today is the best day to buy Bitcoin".
That phrase is true every day of the year, forever.
Keep up the good work! https://x.com/beautyon_/status/1733548845978829185?s=61&t=eyjJ5IvKiAtPIDSBRekpmA
I get it. You’re against the American way of life, optimism, "Can Do" attitude, fearlessness and power. You’re against steering America towards peace while delivering prosperity by restraining, constraining and reducing the Federal Government.
That’s you, right?
#asknostr Can someone please explain to me KYC again. I’m still not understanding how this works.
If I buy from an exchange and I provide them all of my personal information via a Government ID, those are then considered “KYC-ed BTC”. Okay I get that.
But if some on Nostr zaps me BTC that is considered “non-KYC” BTC, Right?
So if I have all that straight, then why can’t I just make a new wallet and zap myself? Or Zap my sister in another city to have her zap it all right back to my new wallet.
How will the government know the difference between a zap from a stranger and a zap to myself? Why do we need to mixers or coin-joiners at all?
I need a dumbed down explanation on how on-chain analysis works. nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p

Man has never been “a part of nature”. Man was created by God as described in Genesis, and the only laws he is governed by were written by God, and those laws are under God’s absolute control.
It is not true that distractions distance us from what is real; the problem with “modern man” is that he is extremely and willfully ignorant, and always eager to believe any lie that is told to him. He loves evil and lies rather than good, lies rather than the truth, and speed rather than punctuation.
The problem modern man faces is The State, just as the USSR suffered under Communism, modern man in the West suffers under Crony Capitalism, The State, and the Federal Reserve system. These are discrete problems all of which are completely soluble without resorting to cereal box philosophies, navel gazing and pointless dead end abstractions and avoidance of bitter hard truths.
The State as a “construct” in the modern era is almost totally evil, as described by Murray Rothbard in his “Anatomy of the State”:
https://mises.org/library/book/anatomy-state
Ignorant people who don’t know the fundamental basis of everything cannot begin to unpack the present situation man is in and identify the true source of the problem. They have to resort to hand waving, Fruit Loop Logic and nonsense, none of which provides a clean, practical way out based only on the truth.
And yes, there IS absolute truth; it is discoverable and communicable and not hard for ordinary people to understand. Refusing to face this fact is pure thumb sucking infantilism and cowardice, two of the basic plagues suffered by coddled, weak and ineffectual Western men.
People talk about things not being grounded in reality, but when that reality is exposed to them, they refuse to accept it, shrink away from it like worms that have had salt sprinkled on them, and not only that, they choose to go along with the evil and support it and the State that is the main distributor of it. They refuse even to tell anyone that the evil exists and that they hate it. To add insult to injury, they wax vaguely with half baked philosophies that are dead ends because they communicate nothing, show no way out, are habiutally non specific and greatly unhelpful.
Modern day financial systems are completley corrupted by the State, especially the Federal Reserve Dollar which is so pernicious and toxic, the destruction of it was in his own words the greatest triumph of Andrew Jackson who declared, “I killed the bank”.

Today, the weak men can barely take their chubby, grubby fingers to clack out its name on their keyboards as they Virtue Signal to stupefied drug addle fans while collecting people’s government documents just so they can use “their own money”.
If the truth must be “handed down by a CEO” then let it be handed down by a CEO. This is infinitely preferable to a CEO who does not believe that there is such a thing as truth, and even worse, a CEO who knows the truth but goes along with evil for expedience and keeps his silence. And furthermore, the truth is not rooted in who man is; the truth exists outside of man, and is imposed upon him by his creator.
Bitcoin as money (it is not money, it is a database that can be used AS money) is a powerful tool precisely because it denies weak men the opportunity to corrupt it, just as they abuse consumers by forcing them to obey the evil and unethical rules laid down by the Fiat State. There is no getting around this, and “I was only following orders” will not cut it either when the records are examined.
Bitcoin spreading everywhere through Ethical Bitcoin companies and tools are what is going to change everything, and as everyone has seen, it only takes a handful of CEOs to make global unambiguous beneficial change happen for hundreds of millions of people. This work is in progress.
Believing in fantasy will not help anyone. Pouring hope onto tools that cannot work is infantilism and ignoring reality. It is ignoring the problem and running away and hiding from it, just as the Cereal Box philosophers ignore the nature of the State and refuse to put it in its place as the true source of of the fiat problem and the war machine problem and the distortions, perversions, poisoning and dumbing down of all mankind.
This refusal to face reality head on is why Bitcoin had to be written in the first place; generation after generation of weak, distracted infantilized men who refuse to think and solve problems made it necessary for machines to solve their problems for them. Bitcoin is one such machine, and you can be sure more are coming, because man would rather run away and hide from solving his problems rather than take his medicine and lead.
Bitcoin removes the power of the State to lie about money. Communication tools that allow anyone to say anything do not solve the problem of the character of man or solve the problem of The State; men of good character can facilitate free communication, so all that is needed are a few good men. Computer solutions can’t solve the problems caused by the character of man. In the case of Bitcoin, they can constrain man’s ability to cheat, but man is still a liar and cheater by nature. That will not change in this world.
A platform that is built to carry any lie to anywhere is not a solution that can fix the world’s problems. Of course people who think the back of a box of Frosted Flakes is the ultimate source of truth cannot understand this. And no one needs them to be able to either. Bitcoin was written to supersede these weak people and to constrain them and their “votes” and it will succeed. Just watch.
In the meantime, by all means waste your time on niche fad networks that will not move the needle, while men with huge platforms and guts liberate hundreds of millions of people to change the world. One man with guts and a vision can change everything; this has been proven again and again. Men who run and hide cannot change anything and never will. History will judge them accordingly, if they are even remembered.
No amount of fad citing and fashionable talk can substitute for real contributions to the problems faced by man. Only action can help, and refraining from evil. These are the unavoidable facts, and the way the world actually is. If you refuse to face this, you are part of the problem, and will be swept away with the Statists. That is your fate, and you will deserve it, because you were warned, and refused to rise to the challenge.

If all the countries on Earth switch to Bitcoin, tariffs will not work to protect the US Dollar. All the countries of the world rejected the American CDMA mobile phone standard for GSM and America capitulated. I'm afraid, due to mismanagement of previous US Administrations starting with Nixon, the US Dollar is finished. For the second time in US History.
The only way out for America now, to preserve its position as the number one country for the mediation of money world wide, is to go full Bitcoin.
That means immediately making Bitcoin Legal Tender in the USA and removing and forbidding all regulations that seek to control it, under the First Amendment pretext.
When this happens, the genius of America will catapult Bitcoin to global reserve currency status via Silicon Valley. No other currency on Earth will have the internet as its backbone. The Ruble, the Euro and all other currencies would be exsanguinated as people all over the world sell their government issued fiats for Bitcoin.
America wins again.
America wins again because it will be the global hub for Bitcoin. All the expertise of how to handle it and work under its necessary limitations will rest with American know how, and no one on earth has a Silicon Valley with global penetration to rival America.
China will have two choices in this global battle for reserve currency status. They will lose this battle because they are linguistically locked away from the rest of the world, that does not use it's poisoned apps.
Only America has the opportunity to re-capture the "Guardian of the Reserve Currency" status, but this time, they will do it by merit, not by deception (The Federal Reserve).
Essentially, America now has a second chance to preserve its power. How they are getting so many breaks is bewildering; Trump himself being the most exceptional second chance.
Like all real Americans, I love Trump. There is no one like him; he embodies the American way of life, optimism, "Can Do" attitude, fearlessness and power. I hope he sails into office and keeps his promises to steer America towards peace while delivering prosperity by restraining, constraining and reducing the Federal Government. If anyone can do it, Trump can.
The US Dollar however, is a real problem, and all foreign governments (the most recent one being Nigeria, which has now abandoned the Dollar for the Naira when it comes to oil purchases), are sick and tired of the vulgar, impudent, corrupt, and murderous behavior of previous US administrations.
Trump can change all of this. By symbolically abandoning the US Dollar, and blaming the Federal Reserve for it, he can pivot back to "Real American Money + Bitcoin" Gold, Silver and Bitcoin.
Will he do it? We're all going to find out!
Any company interested in adhering to the unspoken purpose for which Bitcoin was written should first opt to do no harm to users.
That means rather than simply going for the name, go for the ethics. It means not inducting users into a KYC Gulag, or encouraging them to do so.
Even if they are not interested in ethics at all or Ethical Bitcoin, the aim on a purely logical basis must be to obtain as many users as possible, to avoid falling into the ranks of dead wallets.
This is, like all other rules in an emergent ecosystem, is one that you can taper so that you continue to exist, and difficult choices will always need to be made. Make them and take the consequences.
If you have the means, what this means is that if you are onboarding tools to buy Bitcoin, you should opt for Ethical Bitcoin first.
Opting for Ethical Bitcoin first means you help spread the idea of Ethical Bitcoin whilst serving people in a way that doesn't abuse them. You move users away from abusive services and help solidify the idea of Ethical Bitcoin.
You also get to serve the entire world at once, rather than being artificially locked into one jurisdiction.
Make no mistake, the method of going one jurisdiction to the next over years can build very large businesses, but like email, upstart wallet providers can appear that instantly annihilate incumbents.
It happened with browser companies and it can happen with Bitcoin companies.
Look at Mi¢ro$0ft Internet Exploder's market share over years in the following post for a clip showing how browser share has changed over time. Fascinating, especially if you used some of these tools.
You can expect the same change pattern over years with "Bitcoin Browsers" (today called "wallets) and you can be sure that the first company to call itself, "The Bitcoin Browser" will be catapulted to Number One because out of the box it serves everyone on earth all at once.
"The Google Chrome of Bitcoin" for sure is in development now; the only question is "WHO IS IT?".
Central to answering this question is this; how do people get Bitcoin on to this wallet?
To be sure, any tool that holds any the following to be true is sure to lose the race
Americans are the only ones who need Bitcoin
We can't onboard anyone without "KYC"
Africans and LATAMs are too stupid to want Bitcoin
Bitcoin is money
"NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR COINS" is the No.1 Rule
No onboarding without seed phrase test
All Bitcoin users are exactly the same
All Bitcoin users have exactly the same needs
Bitcoin is "a community"
And I could go on about Graphic Design, language choices (false and dangerous analogies) and many other things, as I have been in the many pieces I've penned on Bitcoin since my first writing on it in December 2010.
One thing is for certain. There are enough very talented and insightful people in the Bitcoin Service Industry who are more than capable of navigating the problems and coming to the correct conclusions.
Their success will cause the correct answers to propagate, leaving the underlying "Secret Sauce" secret.
Isn't it exciting?
You are focussing on the wrong aspect of this, and are not willing to do as you are told…whcih is typical in these very small and shrinking circles.
Go to azte.co and see what it is offering you. Install Fold and see what it is offering you. Don't expect to be spoon fed, concentrate on what matters and RTFM. (Read the Fold Manual). LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Faketoshi has submitted his latest foray into infamy-immortality on his own behalf. No Solicitor's firm, Partnership, Barrister or legal practitioner attached to the Court will touch him. He is radioactive.
It must be clear to everyone that Craig, Faketoshi "Proven Liar", Wright is an irritant and mental case, and it surely cannot be long before he is designated a Vexatious Litigant and banned from wasting everyone's time.
The answer to this is to put him in gaol. Obviously this comes at a risk of raising his profile and making him a martyr, but its either that or encourager les autres to take up the mantle of Satoshi and plague everyone with literal insanity.
OR...
Satoshi can kill all of this forever by creating a pipeline where he releases signed messages from time to time, destroying whoever comes along to try to steal the valor of his name.
OR EVEN BETTER... (From 2015!):

OR open Fold on your Android or iPhone and try it. You've been brainwashed into thinking getting Bitoin must require many steps, and you've also probably been brainwashed into thinking that keeping it is complicated also.
None of that is true.
It was never true.
Why don’t you try it and find out? Trying it happens on the same device you just asked this. FASCINATING!
As I said; if everyone watched Threads, the idea of Nuclear War would be seen for what it is — a crime of unspeakable evil.
Masturbating about inconsequential nonsense on Nostr will seem to be what it is post nuclear exchange; the utmost folly.
I said anyone with a large account should post a link to that film on Rumble. Now it seems that people with reach AND guts understand this and are making the effort to help prevent Nuclear War.
It costs nothing to share information…
It helps…
Why would anyone not do this?
Don’t they CARE about other people? What on earth is wrong with them? No one is asking anyone to even step out of their house. How is it that people can be so nonchalant, uncaring, unfeeling, unconcerned, without any sense of urgency, desire or connection to the real world?
It’s BAFFLING, and upsetting, and they’re utterly loathsome! nostr:note1vtemvtuj4072n52f0nnhc6f2g4ela4pdvex5mc42cfq8l2u3g24q6j2w53
