Decentralized privacy respecting cryptocurrencies can help ;) Transparency for governments, privacy for citizens. It's that simple. And later we can talk about alternative systems in which governments are not necessary.
They do. ETF's, Coinbase, Binance etc. They fight against no-KYC, coinjoin, privacy coins. That means Bitcoin is kind of accepted. And because of its transparency, control/surveillance is also very easy. Think about it.
I mean in the end we need more decentralization. Not just in the financial world. We need it also with food or medicine. This is the key for a future outside the "matrix". Support decentralized protocols or projects would be an ideal call-to-action.
Nice video. But the end... naah. "Bitcoin only" is not the solution my friendo. We need tools to fight the big players and Bitcoin is to weak in terms of privacy / fungibility.
I don't know why you're knowingly putting people in danger. Your approach is right: Nobody should be forced to pay taxes. Now we're getting to the point. That only works if you don't make any mistakes along the way. You might live somewhere in the woods, not fearing the government because nobody is interested in you. But if you recommend your strategy to everyone here, it can end badly very quickly. Let's say someone bought Bitcoin with KYC on an exchange or runs a shop in the middle of town and accepts Bitcoin. Now they listen to your advice and stop paying taxes. Depending on the state and how quickly it gets discovered, the person concerned ends up in jail for tax evasion. That doesn't work that easily. Maybe for your current situation, but that just doesn't suit 99.9% of the people here. The right thing to say would be: pay as little tax as possible to prevent state violence. And find ways to trade tax-free, which is best not done in public.
Do you think you're suspicious if you don't use Google Drive? This is a very paranoid view in my opinion. Sounds to me like a reason to just keep using it.
Where is the point to use Google Drive? It's a big tech company and Bitcoiners should have the mindset to be souvereign and free. So please avoid Google. And if you want to use any cloud service then there is a bunch of open source alternatives. If you want to sync files between devices: https://syncthing.net/
Ecash is L3. And not self custodial. Splicing has not just positive effects on privacy. Bolt 12 is a good step forward
Bitcoin with better privacy will never happen. Or have you forgotten the recent past with Samourai and Coinjoin? Bitcoin is mainstream and still not private. That will not change since Satoshi disappeared after the CIA visit.
Okay if you don't use your wallet for a year that can happen after you open your wallet. But sync time is pretty fine if you use it on a daily or weekly base.
