There's not that many disruptive services/projects. What part of Ulbricht's fate is unclear? Every centralized mixing service has ended one way.

Don't comply, obviously,or next they'll want to tell you what poison to inject
Your palm is not a secret, meaning anyone with it would be able to zap from your name. The same is true with your face (which you have conveniently presented as your profile pic I guess?). Due to this both methods are terrible for securing wealth, let alone spending it.
But it is very convenient, as are all jails by the way - everything is taken care for you, you just have to comply with the guards and director's edicts. These forms of "ID" will most likely only be used by poorfucks in the future.
"Watch the world side with Russia to do so" and the EU ritually kill itself in the process, all in the name of sanctions against a country having to protect its sphere of influence from a non-EU adversary, with this mess happening in a non-EU country on the continent and every b'uro-rat in Brussels valuing this non-EU country more than the capital of all other EU members ...
Tens of meaningless and self-detrimental sanctions packages and the pigs (this time from Sweden) are calling for full ban of Russian LNG imports, lmao. Who gives a fuck about the odd 500 or so million poorfucks in Europe, soon to be begging for whatever.
Not sure bout Yegor, tho. There certainly are kiev bots/rookie glowies here pretending normal people are all pro-Kiev, which is hilarious.
I'd reckon that's just how it looks in the media circle jerk - a lot of young ukrainians have thankfully fled the country which has betrayed them on every level and are starting new lives in europe or even Russia and the east.
It's the same with their fake money system, innit - don't save in their slave bucks, and also don't parttake in their slave death contests, by any means. Starve the beast of your time, energy and life.
It's no coincidence the films portray the Paul Atreidis story to the public - it's a story of a foreigner in a hostile land, whose coming and "powers" were propagandized to the locals by representatives of a nationless sectarian school of thought, entirely comitted to (re)shaping global affairs "for the gewd of aLl🤡" i.e. to their will, somehow pretending they protect mankind from mankind.
"Follow blindly" is the message, hilariously from one conflict to another. End justifies the means sort of thing. The line between freedom fighters and violent aggressors gets blurred right at the end too. Shai-hulud endorsing this obvious conspiracy is another red flag 😅
Slay your heroes, and also slay your gods. Be nobody's mindless puppet/jihadist.
Shots fired 👀
There's a reason many have fled. I can almost see a EUSSR program soon, funded by euro war bonds (so basically the Bundesbank) to send thousands of unwanted immigrants to rebuild the country that Putin is conveniently destroying while avoiding as much human casualties as possible (dead soldiers can't pay their monthly interest - someone has to think of the poor banks).
Most likely, they are currently #1 in population, if one can even trust the official numbers...
All doxxed devs should do this, the state will always resort to violence and caging of dissidents. How to maintain repos from jail?
No such thing as "dirty money" as this would mean said money is not fungible, so not really money - more like permission slip.
That's the end goal in the "fight" against "money laundring" - push everyone on the 100% surveilled and controlled fiat banking system. No need for CBDCs, the current "protocol" is already entirely digital and capable to enslave its users.
Fiat marketing team, lmao. Real inflation is easily double digits.
Aye, and China is also the most successfull experiment for national control, probably due to the sheer extend of democide since the global clique put the commies in power.
Destroying/de-industrializing/de-culturing (propbably not a word 😅) the mostly free west is a deliberate policy to that end as it is more resource consuming to control the populations there compared to China. This is done while pretending the Chinese model is somehow superior, naturally ignoring the fact that the biggest market for Chinese products is the west.
A great showcase of controlling both sides while making everyone believe both sides are somehow autonomous.
People should reconsider trusting products from Blockstream, imo. There's no good reason to have an open source mobile wallet with trackers, the desktop app is even worse.
Bitcoiners should know better, this attack is constantly used by the state.
To a casual observer it would appear like western corpos are totally retarded, but all this nonsense has one effect - China profits.
It's the same with the entire ESG/green regs in the west - production of basic goods becomes whoefully more expensive thanks to climat nazis and who profits in the end? Those who bring in containers with everything and anything from China.
It's deliberate.
COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin.
The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”.
And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t.
If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are.
At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law.
Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken.
The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this.
And I hope they kill it. With fire.

All centralized services are weak links to be attacked by the state sooner or later. Bitcoin will endure and better anonimizing solutions will thrive.
Fair points. I'd argue Kiev would sooner resort to genocide as they have been desperately shelling eastern regions since the 2014 coup, literally killing other ukrainians. This serves as an example to all the other eastern (mostly russian-speaking) regions to be cautious in proclaiming they are against Kiev. Naturally Putin's tanks skewed this risk. The votes are just for show, but if there was genuine resistance in the annexed regions, the west would be all over it and use it in the media too.
There's no good guys in this conflict, only global powers and their local puppets, everybody else is simply a victim of the forced redistribution of land, property and capital destruction. War is hell, but it is also a racket and Putin wasted no time to push through the same dystopian CBDC agenda that is kreeping in west.
You need to study this region more, mate. Whatever the western media is claiming is not the case.
Genocide... Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine via border checkpoints without firing a single shot. The only fighting in the annexed regions was against Kiev's forces, in some since 2014.
