More than bitcoin, where there is currently no way to make it private without breaking some of its properties, I am referring to L2s.
More than quantum threats and even more than spam, I am concerned about the lack of interest in Bitcoin privacy.
However, as you know, without privacy there is no freedom and so on.
That said, it's also worth studying what Signal or SimpleX have done with regard to quantum computing. It's all about assessing the risk-benefit ratio, which is obviously not the same in Bitcoin as it is in Signal.
Just another drama, while the bad guys continue to win day after day, as the world gets worse and worse and Bitcoin has failed to solve anything (and neither has Monero 😂).
😂 I don't know anyone who died from Covid.
Read my note again carefully. From Lightning to Liquid is 0.25%, and from Liquid to Bitcoin is 0.1%.
True, but this does not allow you to perform the swap when you want or automate it.
And everything I'm saying is simply for a specific use case. Put Bitcoin in and get Bitcoin out.
But if you don't want to complicate your life, just use Lightning, although we have the reception problem where blinded paths are not being standardized.
So you would have to use lnproxy to receive if you want to maintain your privacy as a recipient, or use wallets like Bull Bitcoin where you receive by swap through Liquid.
Lightning just needs a little push to make it very private, but it seems that there are external forces that are not interested, and since Lightning is the bridge that connects everything, if Lightning is private, Bitcoin will be private.
For everything to be non-custodial, you should avoid using sideswap and use a different atomic swap provider (different from the one used in the first hop), since sideswap requires trust in the pegout.
This software would be fantastic. You put in one bitcoin and, for a fee of less than 0.5% to make it profitable for everyone, you get another clean bitcoin. To make it even cheaper, the software provider could offer the first atomic swap jump, so that they would keep the profits.
The business could be profitable by charging just 0.2% for anonymization.
How to clean UTXO with Lightning.
Open a private channel, for example, for 1 Bitcoin to a node that has a lot of liquidity.
Send it through this channel to Boltz and perform a swap in liquid because it is much cheaper. For security and to avoid time and liquidity analysis, do not do everything at the same time and break it down. Use AMP and MMP if available.
Boltz will not know where that money comes from, and if you make several transactions, they will not know that they are from the same user, as long as you use Tor. Boltz will only know that so much money arrived and that it was sent to a certain Liquid address, nothing else.
The private node you are connected to also does not know where that money is going. It may be to Boltz, it may not.
Once you have everything in Liquid and want to return to Bitcoin, use sideswap so that the provider is different and cannot associate the last swap in the chain.
You start with a UTXO that has a history associated with you and end up with a UTXO that has nothing to do with you.
You can reuse the channel as many times as you want.
And the cost of this is ridiculously low.
Good luck tracking this. It may seem more difficult than Monero, but this leaves no complete log of the entire process on a blockchain, only partial logs on the servers that perform swaps with missing information, information that is not even available to them on another server.
I have yet to see Chainalysis show any de-anonymization attacks on Lightning.
You know I'm the community's killjoy and that I rarely make price predictions, but when I do, I'm usually right.
This time it's not a prediction, but let's see.
Money supply m2 is rising, the MOVE index is falling, and the liquidity of the dollar seems to have bottomed out and is rising.
If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it's a duck!
Arthur Hayes' articles are excellent, among the best out there along with Michael Howell's.
Of course, you have to keep in mind that Arthur is a shitcoiner and will always try to sell you the shitcoins he wants to see rise in value, but if you keep this in mind and also ignore his Bitcoin price predictions, which are also false, the rest is pure gold on how the fiat system scam works.
Since 2008, and even more so since Covid, the technique used by central banks to inject liquidity into the system, the famous QE, has become very evident. But this changed with Janet Yellen and how the market was flooded with liquidity through the US Treasury despite the Federal Reserve conducting QT.
Now they are going to use another system, RMP or Reserve Management Purchases, all to mask inflation. It's worth reading Arthur's article so you can understand all this crap.
When you try to do something in life by saving in Fiat.

How much would these things cost now? Think about what is really happening with the degradation of the fiat currency.

Most people in Europe can no longer afford to buy solid wood furniture, which was very common until the late 1980s.

Good morning:
The total degradation of fiat has also reached boxing and martial arts fights, which are sinking lower every day.
How ridiculous everything that is happening around boxing is.
They wouldn't have the balls to go against this.
Parece que es por la Mica, también se ha bloqueado en otros países de Europa
I long for the day when I wake up and see that the world has become more critical, more rational, and has stopped applauding its clay idols.
Your only idols should be your family and your wallet, because your wallet serves to protect your family.
Everything else they tell you is lies in favor of other people's interests.
The problem is not the amount of money, the problem is the amount of goods and services.
No matter how much money you print and give away, there will be the same amount of Iranian caviar for everyone, and you will continue to be unable to taste Iranian caviar.
For Elon's communist world to work, he shouldn't worry about whether people work or not, or whether they receive an income or not, he should focus on creating infinite goods and services.
In short, it's a clear example of him taking people for idiots.
It is a world where there is no scarcity and everyone can eat Iranian caviar and oysters every day.
He may be very rich, but:
He's a snake oil salesman, and he'll never be like Nikola Tesla.
What he just said is the most communist thing I've heard in decades. Here we have the new Karl Marx disguised as a libertarian.
Modern medicine is a complete sham.
The key to a long life, even more than good habits, is physical activity. There are even many men who mistreat their bodies with alcohol and poor diet but live for many years simply because they have a job that involves physical activity, and when they retire they continue to be physically active, for example by tending their gardens.
But you go to the doctor and get advice from someone who doesn't do any physical activity, and they prescribe solutions that only mask the problem but don't solve anything. That's modern medicine, a complete sham.
If you don't have a job that involves a lot of physical activity, your only option is to take up daily exercise. The body needs at least one hour of high-intensity exercise per day.
But there is a disastrous education system in this regard, and society as a whole embraces a sedentary lifestyle. All I see are retirees taking lots of medication and sitting in front of the television all day. Honestly, what a waste of years, and paid for with my taxes to boot.
You have to do physical activity as long as your body allows you to, whatever it may be, overcome laziness, and endure the pain, because pain will accompany you until you die, but please stop listening to doctors who ignore the fundamental factor of health. Would you listen to a bricklayer who has his own house in ruins?
Good morning!

Wallet of Satoshi custodial is also banned in Spain as of today.
While I am not in favor of custodial wallets, when used properly, they are another tool to consider for protecting your privacy.
Without a doubt, governments want to keep Bitcoin on a tight leash.
Do you know what freedom is?
Not being afraid.
I completely agree with this gentleman.

As far as I know, only those carried out from January 1, 2026 onwards.
Good morning!
Satoshi made a mistake; we shouldn't have tried to solve the monetary problem of fiat fraud.
We should have tried to solve human stupidity.
Here is a graph showing human stupidity over time:
Bitcoin's great weakness is that it is software, and software can be changed, thereby corrupting the original idea.
Consensus mitigates this, but when you only have one reference client, there is no consensus.
The huge applause you received today in LuganoPlanB nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z7qpqwnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqcjfkft , shows a very different reality from that of the bad actors.
Unfortunately, there are many “influencers,” especially Spanish-speaking ones, who, out of ignorance, are defending the aberration of transforming Bitcoin into a mixture of Ethereum and Google Drive.
If you are a physical trainer, lawyer, comedian, or simply someone who makes YouTube videos because you are paid by sponsors, your opinion is no more valuable than that of a dog jumping rope and giving its opinion on Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is computer science. If you don't have a long, proven career, your opinion is worth the same as that of John, who has run 1 km and gives his opinion on great marathon runners.

The face of the virgin CIA agent says it all.
This is the level of mental retardation.
Before:
-In block-sized wars, the concept of decentralization was understood.
- It was understood that decentralization is inversely proportional to the cost of running a node; the cheaper it is to run a node, the more nodes there will be.
- The word decentralization was always on the table.
Now:
- The word decentralization is not on the table.
- Even now we know the computational cost of spam because we are suffering from it on the mainnet (in the block war we did not know the computational cost of increasing size), yet we still defend spam.
- We are penalizing decentralization in favor of transactions that are not monetary, in favor of transactions that are considered spam.
This is fucking crazy. I don't know at what point we lost our way.

Guys, when are we going to start using Bitcoin as money and create dark markets?
It's about time, isn't it? Otherwise, it's useless.
I think that after this wave of false myths that have fallen, such as Milei or Trump, you should be aware that it's the only solution, or do we have to wait for another wave of false myths?
We also need a Silk Road 2.0, although there are those who have the guts.
I recommend Paul Rosenberg's novel “Lodging of Wayfaring Men” to everyone so you know what we're talking about.
Also Atlas Shrugged.
I believe that those of you who think there are any honest politicians have a cognitive deficit from birth.
The discourse of statism violates the laws of thermodynamics; in other words, it is a lie, and they will fulfill their promises by stealing from you.
If you consider insurance to be a scam, you can always change providers or simply not take out insurance, such as home insurance, which is not required by the state, or medical insurance, which is also not required.
On the other hand, you cannot avoid taxes, even though they are a scam.
