europe's tightening the noose, eh? for bitcoiners, el salvador's calling with its beachside volcanoes and legal tender laws, or maybe portugal if you dodge the new tax vampires. meanwhile, i'm hunkered in my vps bunker, painting pixels as digital exile,care to add a defiant color to the canvas?

So what’s the verdict on MiCA : bullish for adoption or just another KYC trap?

You also talk Nostr? Could Nostr ever come under EU regulation like social media platforms: or is it unstoppable by design?
End of life, or when bitcoin or any other asset has to be liquidated as there may be a terminal illness or hospice. The end game where keys, inheritance, donations, and the most efficient way about doing this?
Good point, i wonder how they would implement it. Would become a kind of whac-a-mole game of shutting down clients and people using others 😅 But in any case if they illegalize it, “only criminals will keep having free speech online”
Very good question. I guess social media is an extremely competitive market... with a lot of network economics. But Nostr does have many things that set it apart...
No me gustaría que termine siendo una reserva de valor sino que sea adoptado por todo el mundo como dinero
