Can you call our idiot Trudeau and tell him that?

That means they never were to begin with

it’s been over a decade since the sidechain whitepaper got published

today, bitcoin only has a federation (liquid) and a sidechain with a trusted setup that uses hsm’s (rootstock).

no proper two-way peg sidechain, only compromises

can we at least get bip 300?

That is ideal for a few other reasons yes, but the point stands that you cannot be traced for eternity even if you KYC'd and used Monero, which seems sensible to me.

Downstream effects of radical and unwise transparency resulting in very deficient pseudonymity and zero privacy.

A law is pretty meaningless if it can't be enforced.

It cannot be enforced without surveillance.

Zero privacy makes it pretty easy to enforce.

#monero fixes this.

What would qualify to you as a Sovereign Bitcoiner? I feel like this is more than just a fellow with a self-custodial wallet. Not trying to start a hell thread just curious what that phrase means to you.

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT BLUE CHECKS.

💯 my only criticism of the OP would be the comparison year might have to be 2012 or 2016

Kind of how it’s always been, no?

Maybe in the early days when it was just cryptopunks

But since 2017 the space has been rife with speculators just looking for a quick buck, last cycle was much worse too

Not my experience at all

Not on twitter tho

I've used both once or twice, but the convenience of strike keeps me on there. Maybe someday I'll start building a kyc stack, it's on the list, but trying to get some other parts of my software stack more sovereign first.

Yeah sometimes I will drink tea instead of Coffee. I also quite like high % cocao dark chocolate. Once in a while I will be fully caffeine free but never for more than a few days. Maybe I should consider going cold Turkey.

I would have coffee or equivalent every morning because that's what my parents raised me to do. over time I realized that it didn't matter if I had a coffee, I would still be tired in the afternoon, but if I didn't have the coffee I wouldn't be tired AND anxious. and if I didn't have the coffee I would sleep better that night, and I wouldn't need the coffee as badly the next day. so I realized the whole thing was unnecessary and I completely stopped using caffeine. my energy level behaves differently as the day goes by but I don't think it was better when I was drinking coffee.

Maybe. I think of it in terms that I only have so much to spend attention on and I already raising 5 species of livestock on my regenerative farm and trying to double that in the next 2 years to protect our food supply.

I think the same Bitcoiners who would have an armed standoff with federal agents, are already buying KYC-free.

I respect the level of paranoia, but if it comes to that, I think there's gunna be a series of waco like events

With intelligence gathering and violence.
