I believe bitVM can be used to create a decentralized, non-KYC Bitcoin exchange. I call it Know No Customer (KNC). It’s a simple idea, but I think it will work.

Real #privacy is coming to Bitcoin soon

When will Max Keiser go to prison for his blasphemy against Satoshi?

Max Keiser-Inspired Altcoin 'MaxCoin' Makes its Debut

A new digital currency, MaxCoin, is launching with the backing of its namesake, financial journalist Max Keiser.

"At what point do we respond? At what point do they see our response? At what point do they stop marching off our developers to prison, and at which point do we start taking their authorities away? Because that is what #Bitcoin is set out to do." - Edward @Edward Snowden

The government forcing you to wear a cloth mask that offers no protection is pretty bad. But they forced you to wear a mask THEY KNEW couldn’t protect you, and told you it’s safe. If it wasn’t for the fact that they knew you really were safe, that would be a very evil thing to do.

Become ungovernable

It’s weird that libertarians and Bitcoiners are obsessed with property rights, but hardly ever talk about Wickard v. Filburn. This Supreme Court case determined that growing/manufacturing something for your own personal use affects interstate commerce, because the thing you made *might* inflate the supply of sellable goods. You don’t buy from the market, therefore you affect the market, and the federal government can regulate it. Wickard v. Filburn is used for everything from OSHA to the Controlled Substance Act. "Substance"… what the fuck is a substance? Everything is a substance, so the government has given themselves the authority "control everything".

They have been in the "…and then they fight you" phase for years. Wake the fuck up.

"We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation. In the face of the Thought Police there is no other way." – George Orwell, 1984 View quoted note →

The government needs to know everything about you before you can spend and receive money. This will protect you from breaking the government's laws. Thank you for keeping us safe from the government, government.

Stop playing nice with government. They can’t stop Bitcoin. They can’t even stop Monero. They can remove it from exchanges and lower the price, but we should expect that if we’re going to change the world.

What has happened since BlackRock applied for their ETF? 🚩 BitcoinTalk bans mixers 🚩🚩 Both Michael Saylor and Peter Todd say we should use Monero for privacy 🚩🚩 Monero is removed from exchanges 🚩🚩🚩 People finally started admitting Lightning was WAY overhyped and now they say Bitcoin shouldn’t be a currency 🚩🚩🚩 The US government raids Samourai and destroys confidence in the only real privacy tools we have The government isn’t trying to stop Bitcoin from existing. They are trying to control it. The easiest and most secure way to add privacy to #Bitcoin is to activate BIP300. Monero and zcash are not being raided by the feds. We will steal their code; and because it’s Bitcoin, it will offer true privacy and censorship resistance.

Sidechains for Privacy -- zSide and Melt/Cast | Truthcoin.Info

The government is coming after the cypherpunks. Notice all the people who say Bitcoin doesn’t need privacy or to be a medium of exchange. Samourai and Wasabi have far more economic activity than Lightning. Soon we will have to decide if we want Bitcoin to change the world, or conform to it.

Custodial lightning cannot be the future of Bitcoin. If the future of Bitcoin is lightning, it will be custodial
