“It's really difficult to engineer freedom tech—solutions that require you to kind of take ownership of your money, take ownership of your data. These things typically have engineering solutions that are harder to build; they might take a longer time to build, or it might actually require the user to kind of learn something new.” — @Stephen DeLorme

Privacy usually costs extra. PayJoin flips that.
Dan Gould built the protocol that makes Bitcoin transactions cheaper when both parties contribute inputs. Up to 25% fee savings. Chain analysis gets harder as a side effect.

“It's not about identity theft. It's about intention theft.”
In this conversation:
• Axioms vs rules
• Encrypted Cashu tokens on Nostr relays

"If you go into a local community bank and ask for $50,000 in cash, you're going to get a lot of questions—and very likely they're going to say, 'Come back in a week, we need to order that.' The cash doesn't exist."
Former Goldman Sachs risk manager and current VP Sales at Unchained, @Trey, spent 15 years inside the machine before realizing the wealth you think you control is just a ledger entry someone else manages.

"Trust evolves along a continuum. At the personal level, it begins with identity, the belief that a signer or speaker will keep their word. At the institutional level, it is mediated by delegation and credentialing: we trust entities because they have been certified by others. At the cryptographic level, trust becomes procedural, shifting from human judgment to verifiable logic." —@Tim Bouma
