I agree Bitcoin is likely to trade at 400k

At some point in the future

Because Bitcoin is scarce

USD is not

They will print more of it

And banks create it by giving credits

But

Two things we don't know

1. When, it could be decades

2. What the real purchasing power of $400,000 is going to be at that time, it could be similar to today's $40,000 if the price up is purely because of inflation from printing

Or am I overcomplicating this?

Look at the long term gold chart

1980 , $600 all time high

Then goes down to $300 and stayed there until 2008. Almost 3 decades.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I'm bullish, not to say bullshit 😀

My future depends on it

My hopes depend on it

But I don't think it is certain...

Anyway, let's humbly hope for 400k .

Difficult topic and I also keep thinking about it.

We don't know the future.

What if you live in a country where the government decided that it is illegal to sell non KYC sats?

Of course you would still be able to sell them P2P using robosats or alike, but at a discount and with risk.

Or you wound have to move to a different country.

So it may be good to have some KYC stack, too. Pay the capital gains tax on it when you sell, so they cannot go after you.

That's my thinking, for whatever it is worth.

So, for new buys, buy some on robosats, and some using some soft KYC exchange.

And send them to two different wallets.

It can be on the same hardware wallet you already have, but with different BIP39 passphrases, like the 25th word.

So you will have a hidden wallet number 2 and 3, with different passphrases, where you keep, separately, your newly bought sats.

Read about BIP39.

I am not sure about coinjoin. It makes it visible, coins may be consideted tainted.

You could also send them to Liquid, ie swap to LBTC using sideswap io, then send to lightning using Boltz exchange, then back. It should hide the trail, too, giving you forward looking privacy. Or ability to claim that after you sent coins to liquid you lost the key.

Swap them out using a new phone or desktop and via vpn such as proton kr mullavad or ivpn or tor.

Just in case. Good luck.

Very interesting

Assuming it is accurate

Satoshi smaller than I thought, even if he appeared and sold, no huge deal

Unmined larger than I thought, but this is a public info, so priced in, OK

Good

Great to see individuals so large

Thanks for sharing

#Bitcoin stands as a silent revolution that transcends demographic boundaries, offering a common ground for people with diverse backgrounds and aspirations. Whether you're trans, black, white, or any other group, the desire for a fair and just system unites everyone. Bitcoin provides a solution to the universal quest for a more equitable society.

Imagine a world where, through Bitcoin, every individual's voice is not only heard but verifiably accounted for. Online platforms could allow users to track their votes on an immutable blockchain, ensuring transparency and integrity in the electoral process. This digital paradigm shifts the power dynamics by enabling individuals to actively participate in creating a fairer system.

The crucial step of buying Bitcoin and moving it to self-custody amplifies your voice on a global scale. Unlike keeping it on centralized platforms like Cash App, self-custody empowers you with control over your wealth and influence. As you make this move, your action resonates through Bitcoin's blockchain, a public ledger that broadcasts your commitment to a decentralized, transparent, and inclusive future. In this way, Bitcoin becomes a tool not only for financial empowerment but also for making your voice heard in the ongoing quest for a just and fair society.

Please add to this in the replies section or share so others can start to see the (orange) light.

We have to be the change and inform others so they can at the very least, have the opportunity to make the right decision and help us create a better system for all.

Yes

I also recommend simple login io to use a different email alias for different services

Sats per dollar in thousands, eg. 2.45

Times BTCUSD in thousands, eg.41

Equals 100

One option may be to use simple login io to create an email alias and then create a Mozilla account using this email and use Firefox sync.

This is very easy and user friendly.

If this requires too much trust for your security model, and you really want to self host bookmarks then you will need something more elaborate.

Perhaps steandard notes or keepassdx could be used.

Can some send me an invite code to Alby, please?

Thank you.

For Bitcoin full node, you can keep the blockchain, it is in the datadir directory.

When you reinstall bitcoin core, you can point it to this dir and you will not need to download the whole blockchain again.

It should work. Unless the files got corrupted.

For lightning node, I don't know, but if a channel is closed, I cannot be reopened, I think.

The backup recovery, I guess may abd should work.

Good luck.

Will you have some nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 stickers to take, in Warsaw, at the halving party, so I could take some and then make a good use of them?

I might come over.

It would be great to get some stickers, without the need for shipping...

Thank you. This is just an idea.

# A Declaration of Separation

## To The Governments & People of Earth:

We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it. We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We/merely wish to be left alone.

All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get the offenses to stop. That has now changed.

We no longer see any benefit in working through the world?s systems. At some point, working within a system becomes cowardly and immoral; for us, that point has arrived.

Regardless of the parties in power, their governments have continued to restrict, restrain and punish us. We hereby reject them all. We hereby withdraw from them all. We hold the ruling states of this world and all that appertains to them to be self-serving and opposed to humanity. We now withdraw our obedience and reclaim the right to strike back when struck. We will not initiate force, but we do reserve the right to answer it. We did not choose this ? it was forced upon us.

## To The Governments of Earth:

You are building cages for all that is human. In the name of protection, you have intruded into all areas of human life, far exceeding the reach of any Caesar. You claim ultimate control of our property and our decisions, of our travels and even our identities. You claim ownership of humanity far beyond the dreams of any Emperor of any previous era.

Understand clearly: We reject your authority and we reject your legitimacy. We do not believe that you have any right to do the things you do. You have massive power, but no right to impose it upon us and no legitimacy. We have forsaken you. We are no longer your citizens or your subjects. Your systems are inherently anti-human, even if all their operators are not. We are not merely angry young people. We are fathers and mothers; aunts, uncles and grandparents; we are business owners and trusted employees; we are mechanics and engineers and farmers. We are nurses and accountants and students and executives.

We are on every continent.

This is not a burst of outrage; this is a sober declaration that we no longer accept unearned suffering as our role in life.

For long decades we sat quietly, hoping that things would turn around. We took no actions; we suffered along with everyone else. But after having our limits pushed back again and again, we have given up on your systems. If our fellow inhabitants of this planet wish to accept your rule, they are free to do so.

We will not try to stop them. We, however, will no longer accept your constraints upon us.

From now on, when you hurt us, we will bite back. If you leave us alone we will leave you alone and you can continue to rule your subjects. We are happy to live quietly. But if you come after us, there will be consequences. You caused this because of your fetish for control and power. The chief men and women among you are pathologically driven to control everyone and everything that moves upon this planet. You have made yourselves the judge of every human activity. No god-king of the ancient world ever had the power that your systems do.

You have created a world where only the neutered are safe and where only outlaws are free.

## To The People of Earth:

We seek nothing from you. We do not want to rule you and we do not want to control you.

All we wish is to live on earth in peace. As always, we will be helpful neighbors and generous acquaintances. We will remain honest business partners and trustworthy employees. We will continue to be loving parents and respectful children.

We will not, however, be sacrificial animals. We reject the idea that others have a right to our lives and our property. We will not demand anything from you, and we will no longer acquiesce to any demands upon us. We have left that game. We reject all obligations to any person or organization beyond honesty, fair dealing and a respect for human life.

We will shortly explain what we believe, but we are not demanding that you agree with us. All we ask is that you do not try to stop us. Continue to play the game if you wish; we will not try to disrupt it. We have merely walked away from it.

We wish you peace.

## To Those Who Will Condemn Us:

We will ignore you.

We welcome and seek the verdict of a just God, before whom we are willing to expose our innermost thoughts. Are you similarly willing? We would stand openly before all mankind if it were not suicidal. Perhaps some day we will have to accept slaughter for our crime of independence, but not yet.

Your criticism and your malice are much deeper than mere disagreements of strategy or philosophy. You do not oppose our philosophy, you oppose our existence. Our presence in the world means that your precious ideals are false. Some of you would rather kill us than face the loss of your ideologies, just as those like you have either hated or killed every sufficiently independent human.

You present yourselves to the world as compassionate, tolerant and enlightened, but we know that your smooth words are costumes. Oh yes, we know you, servant of the state; don't forget, we were raised with you. We played with you in the schoolyard, we sat next to you in the classroom. Some of us studied at the same elite universities. We watched as you had your first tastes of power. We were the boys and girls standing next to you. Some of us were your first victims. We are not fooled by your carefully crafted public image.

## What We Believe

1: Many humans resent the responsibilities that are implied by consciousness. We accept those responsibilities and we embrace consciousness. Rather than letting things happen to us (avoiding consciousness), we accept consciousness and choose to act in our own interest. We do not seek the refuge of blaming others, neither do we take refuge in crowds. We are willing to act on our personal judgment, and we are willing to accept the consequences thereof.

2: We believe in negative rights for all: That all humans should be free to do whatever they wish, as long as they do not intrude upon others; that no man has a right to the life, liberty or property of another; that we oppose aggression, fraud and coercion.

3: We do not believe that our way of life, or any other, will make life perfect or trouble-free. We expect crime and disagreements and ugliness, and we are prepared to deal with them. We do not seek a strongman to step in and solve problems for us. We agree to see to them ourselves.

4: We believe in free and unhindered commerce. So long as exchanges are voluntary and honest, no other party has a right to intervene before, during or after.

5: We believe that all individuals should keep their agreements.

6: We believe that honestly obtained property is fully legitimate and absolute.

7: We believe that some humans are evil and that they must be faced and dealt with. We accept the fact that this is a difficult area of life.

8: We believe that humans can self-organize effectively. We expect them to cooperate. We reject impositions of hierarchy and organization.

9: We believe that all humans are to be held as equals in all matters regarding justice.

10: We believe that the more a man or woman cares about right and wrong, the more of a threat he or she is perceived to be by governments.

11: We believe that there are only two true classes of human beings: Those who wish to exercise power upon others either directly or through intermediaries and those who have no such desires.

12: Large organizations and centralization are inherently anti-human. They must rely upon rules rather than principles, treating humans within the organization as obedient tools.

## Our Plans:

(We are building our own society. We will supplement traditional tools with networking, cryptography, sound money, digital currency and anonymous messaging. Our society will not be centrally controlled. It will rely solely

on voluntary arrangements.

We welcome others to join us. We are looking for people who are independent creators of value, people who act more than talk, and people who do the right thing because it is the right thing.

We will develop our own methods of dealing with injustice, built on the principles of negative rights, restitution, integrity and equal justice. We do not forbid anyone from having one foot in each realm - ours and the old realm - although we demand that they do no damage to our realm. We are fully opposed to any use of our realm to facilitate crime in the old realm, such as the hiding of criminal proceeds.

We expect to be loudly condemned, libeled and slandered by the authorities of the old regime. We expect them to defend their power and their image of legitimacy with all means available to them. We expect that many gullible and servile people will believe these lies, at least at first. We will consider traps laid for us to be criminal offenses. Any who wish to join us are encouraged to distribute this declaration, to act in furtherance of our new society, to voluntarily excel in virtues and to communicate and cooperate with other members of the new society.

Free, unashamed men cannot be ruled.

# We are The Free and The Unashamed.

I am in.

This is it.

Thank you.

This is my philosophy, too.

It is like Ayn Rand, and I agree.

It is the first time I see it written so well.

But now, ok, I signed it and, what do I do next?

I buy non-KYC Bitcoin every week and I hold, I self custody it, in a cold storage and I will not pay taxes on it when I sell, if ever.

I will never work for a government.

I'm not marching on capital.

I'm not buying a gun.

I'm mostly in "the system" , the first realm, where I have a good job, I pay my taxes, as I must, I obey the rules, at least ones that make sense and ones I have no choice on.

I'm not openly taking about Bitcoin or freedom because I don't want to be a target.

Is it a cowardice? Maybe. I think I'm protecting myself.

I don't want to be an outcast and live in the wild.

Anything else to do?

Good question

It may be a good idea to also have some KYC stack

Be able to have a proof of funds

Pay capital gains tax

As much as I hate to say it

Knowing it sounds like a heresy

But could be a good thing

Just in case

Maybe even a little bit of their ETF
