Worse in a way that you cannot verify the supply chain (which is ironic asf because blockchain tech exists and would solve the logistics needed for highly secure shipping) Use Cake Wallet paired with Cupcake on any old offline android with LineageOS no one would pay attention to. That's the point, to blend in and be secure physically and digitally. View quoted note →

Regardless where you stand on the Ukraine/Russia waste of human life and public tax money, two things remain true 4 years later: 1. Centralized assets can be frozen at any time = That's why Monero $XMR exists 2. Centralized infra like Starlink can be throttled or switched off at any time = That's why reticulum.network and ratspeak.org exist

This. The mass sheep mentality scares me more than the industrial government complex. Society is 100% complicity to all of the shit we have to put up with. View quoted note →

If you think this couldn't happen to you and your native country, think again. The parasites will change laws overnight and happily make an example of dissents. Invest in a Plan B, C and D. I am currently working on my 5th Strategic Residency. View quoted note →

Unpopular Nostr fact: > I have never used zaps or lightening or even spent any Bitcoin.

As a non technical person I can testify to the compound effect of pursuing privacy [different journeys but the effect is the same]: > may start with WANTING to go through and uncheck every box of 'cookie settings' just because > stop giving away your real info to any person/company > delete all social platforms except Nostr > you ditch gmail for a more 'private' service > you realized email hasnt changed since 1995 and become an early adopter of pre-lokinet Session > realize all shitcoins are traceable as fuck including Bitcoin and Ztrash > start learning Monero like it's DAY ONE at cypherpunk school > throw away all devices that are not Linux or GrapheneOS > encrypt everything at rest > upgrade to custom firmware [coreboot] > disable wifi [physically or bios] and use a removable adaptor and ethernet at home > faraday pouches and sleeves on main travel gear > strict use of FOSS apps in personal and professional life > onboard or force others to use the same apps as you > pay for VPN, data esim and parallel markets with XMR or cash > ereader shelf becomes 'Extreme Privacy', 'Permanent Record', 'Art of Deception' among others > sit facing away from CCTV in public places, always aware of surroundings > secure tax residencies in 2 other countries with offshore bank accounts > only use PO Boxes for deliveries > build your own surveillance detection devices > start learning reticulum mesh networking and radio comms Low threat model but learning this shit is addictive asf.
