Chainalysis also traces pedos and terrorists, it's just a tool, just like monero.

They would have their own bitcoin, every center of hash would have its own and they would be priced against one another depending on the productiveness of the civilization.

You should use P2P exchanges whenever you can but I'm afraid the "no bitcoin onramps, only fiat offramps" reality is increasingly true.

In the medium to longterm it won't matter that you operate with lower-value transactions because they keep moving the threshold lower to demand ever more burdensome kyc info for transactions.

Moreover, you will have to deal with sudden account freezes and transaction cancellations if you keep sending money to strangers. It's just a reality of this model, one that cannot be mitigated.

Since the financial surveillance system is increasingly consolidated into one big honeypot, you will not be able to escape with multiple bank account tactics.

One solution is to coinjoin funds or do atomic swaps but that does not erase kyc data. It is a suboptimal solution.

I see three real solutions that remain for freedom-minded people to acquire kyc-free sats:

- Mine bitcoin in a non-kyc way

- Exchange fiat and goods face to face

- Work for it

...and of course you should keep most of your funds in Self-Custody. Maybe some on LN(LSP model makes it easier) and pocket money in #ecash mints.

Realistically you will rarely do option 1 and 2. Working for sats is the best solution and it will bootstrap a freedom economy of Sovereign Individuals.

The best way to get this freedom economy going is in my mind obviously nostr. That's why I am building #satshoot and keep supporting this ecosystem any chance I get.

This is my thesis. What's yours?

On bitcoin meetups one can buy p2p with cash

If we are visited by an advanced alien species, what happens to the bitcoin price long term? Goes to zero because we will use their money or does it get an exchange rate against their hard money since we are so far from their center of hash we need our own hard money.

Also,dont't fall asleep on the metro.

The future will show who is right. I expect monero to slowly continue to increase in value, but nothing like the appreciation of bitcoin.
