Thanks a lot for sharing your setup.
I'm not ready to move to Graphene.
I guess I too much like the convenience of Google services.
But, inspired by your note, I guess I could, on my stock Android phone, simply add a new profile, without Google account, use Aurora to install Amethyst and a Bitcoin wallet, and, on this way, hide this identity and hide, at least from people who may look at my phone, the fact that I'm interested in Bitcoin.
Remove anything Bitcoin or Nostr related from the admin profile.
Do you think it makes sense and is a step in the right direction?
When thinking about my risk profile or op sec or privacy needs, I don't think I need a very strong setup, and I really like Google maps and fingerprint unlock and so on, but I don't want people around to know I'm interested in Bitcoin.
Thoughts?

Absolutely
Thank you
And I'm impressed with the triangle relative sizes as well
I'm also almost certain that long term price of Bitcoin in USD is going to the moon
What I don't know, and I think it's impossible to tell, is how much of this price increase will be just because dollar is being diluted by printing (and Bitcoin keeps the value) OR due to Bitcoin value increase also in real terms (thanks to getting monetary premium for example)
Anyway
We don't know

I'm afraid it's not that simple.
I have seen this type of estimate many times.
But is it true that, if an additional trillion dollars of capital gets invested in Bitcoin, then the Bitcoin market cap goes up by the same amount?
I do not think it is necessarily so.
How the price will react to an additional trillion of capital inflow, depends on liquidity, market depth, willingness of holders to sell.
It may go up a lot, or a little, but not necessary by the amount needed to increase Bitcoin market cap by a trillion.
At least that's what I think.
Happy to discuss.

Thanks for sharing. I mostly agree. I would just add to this that even Nostr may be a bit addictive (yes, no algo but your curated feed gets you the dopamine hit just the same) and it may be risky for privacy, too ( if you share too much or use it in a way that your IP address can be mapped to you).
But yes, free speech. And you are in control of what you see. This is great.

Average human will probably have no objections.
Governments, however, politicians, authorities, yes, I think they will object to us being able to transact freely with the money we choose.
Why? Because they don't want us to evade taxes and finance terrorists or launder the money from criminal activities.
And transacting freely, without them being able to track everything, makes it possible. Of course it is also possible with cash.
I don't approve this approach. I'd like to be able to transact freely. I'm just answering your question with my hypothesis.

2024-06-08 21:23:12

Once Bitcoin is worth $1 million, what do you think the worth of million dollars will be in today's dollars?
In other words, to what extent bitcoiners will be very wealthy vs just have stored and preserved the value?
This boils down to the question, I think, to what extent the high price of Bitcoin will be the result of inflation, resulting from money printing vs Bitcoin actual increase in value, perhaps thanks to the monetary premium.

2024-01-18 17:52:52

- reply

I guess I could also, I tested it but I don't know if it makes sense to do at scale, use fixedfloat .com to send Bitcoin lightning and get Monero
Then, after a while, reverse: send Monero to get Bitcoin again, on lightning
Then send from lightning to on chain cold wallet
But this is slowly getting expensive, fixed float 0.5 percent each way
Lightning fees and monero fees are negligible
Bitcoin one on chain fee I would need to pay for anyway, in this scenario, to exit from lightning, in base scenario to move from hot to cold wallet
I'm probably overcomplicating it

I have the same question
Thanks for bringing this up
Let's see what experts say
I'd like to think and hope that the approach you describe, which I'm contemplating as well, should give us what is called a "forward looking privacy"
In other words, exchanges where you bought a KYC Bitcoin, will still know when and how much you bought
And they can tell it to the tax authorities for example, to chase you for capital gains tax
Or to the dystopian government that wants to confiscate Bitcoin
However, they cannot, I hope, trace the very utxos anymore
They cannot say "I know this utxo in this address is yours"
So I think it gives a plausible deniability
You can refer to the last transaction they see on a Blockchain, the one you moved sats to lightning or liquid, and say, yes, it was me, I sold this Bitcoin
Or , yes, it was me, I moved to my lightning wallet and then I lost my phone in a boating accident
Well, at least that's my thinking
I'm not sure if I'm correct
And I hope the dystopian scenario will never happen and I hope I will find a jurisdiction with no tax on Bitcoin sale, or find a way to never sell, but borrow against Bitcoin
I want to be legal
Ok, let's see what others think

I checked a few wallets that I use
And, under "trackers", they have "Google firebase analytics"
I don't like that
I mean, I guess it's nice for the app owner to know what I clicked when
But as I think about it, could someone match my usage data with on chain data to identify me?
Or am I paranoid?
Or should we all just accept this tracking?
Because otherwise feels like I'd have to be a total outcast, running everything on my hardware, open source and do a code review
Not going to happen

I asked AI what is "conditional acceptance" in taxes...
it said:
In the context of taxes, conditional acceptance can be used to challenge a tax liability or demand. For example, if the IRS sends you a notice that you owe $5,000 in taxes, you can reply with a conditional acceptance that says you will pay the amount if the IRS provides proof that you are liable for the tax and that the amount is correct. This way, you are not rejecting the offer or admitting to the debt, but rather asking for more information or evidence before you agree to pay.
Conditional acceptance can also be used to request an extension or a waiver of penalties for filing or paying taxes late.

Yes.
Governments are unlikely to give up their ability to tax people, in a stealth way, by printing money.
So currencies, as a legal tender, in most countries, I think are there to stay, at least for decades to come.
Of course, I could be wrong.
I'd like to be wrong and soon witness governments move to a Bitcoin standard.

Thank you. I will take a look. I used KeePass for many years, synced password database file to Google drive.
But then, some time ago, for usability, I defaulted back to Google chrome password manager. It's just so easy and works on mobile, etc.

Hence Bitwarden. I will look again at KeePass, maybe KeePass DX for mobile, or your product.

When you say "we don't have the desire" (for the government to use freedom tech to communicate), who do you mean by "we"?
Because I, for example, would certainly desire it.
But of course, the government does not.
And the people, most people, they don't care I guess, unfortunately, and are mostly unaware of the problem and of the existence of Nostr.
And I guess the only way to get the government to use Nostr works be to grow Nostr... Right?

2024-01-10 08:26:27

True.
How might we convince the government to start using Nostr for communication?

I agree but fiat has one big advantage over you hypothetical crypto token you could create.
And that is, people with guns, people who can and will use force and coercion sharing you, government and police, will force you to pay taxes in their fiat token and force everyone in their jurisdiction to accept their fiat token as payment.
So, there is that.

You are right, only actions matter.

But is it "easy" to make the switch?
Well, perhaps I'm missing something, I'd love to be wrong, but it seems to me that Graphene OS or Calyx OS works on Pixel phones only, and I don't have a phone like this right now, and they are unavailable where I live, at least not easily available and a cost to buy one if not trivial to me.
Is there an OS that will work on wide range of devices? I have a phone that is 3 years old, running Android 11 today.

Thank you.
You made me think.
OK, Google has never seen my private keys.
I use a cold wallet on a device that has never been online, and never will be.
So, they cannot confiscate it "just like that".
However, I have just realized, or rather, you have made me realize, the Bitcoin I buy every week , I'm sending it, every few months, from my hot wallet, a Blue Wallet app on Android, to my cold wallet.
Is there a possibility that Google knows the addresses I'm sending my Bitcoin to? By somehow monitoring, via Android, what the Blue Wallet app is doing? Or by monitoring my traffic?
If true, what can I do? If I use a Linux PC with a Sparrow wallet on it, sign a transaction offline, to send my Bitcoin to myself, from my cold wallet to the next address in the same wallet, and send my utxos to it, perhaps in a few transactions, not to consolidate them all in one go - would that work?
Then, when they come for my Bitcoin, I can say, plausible deniability, that I sent it to someone or lost my key and someone took it. And nobody will know that the address I sent it to was my own address, right? Unless they know my private key, which they cannot know.
Right?
Damn, maybe I'm paranoid, but the wallet online app on Android knows my cold wallet xpub. I added a watch-only wallet to it.
Does that mean that theoretically Google may know all my future addresses? And so the only way is to create a new wallet with a new private key?
Overall, thanks again and, yes, I think you can add me to the list of people you convinced :-)
And scared a bit.

It's a difficult topic.
I keep wondering about it, too.
Probably no self hosted solution is going to be as convenient and user friendly as big tech.
But they spy on us and can delete our accounts whenever they want or give our data to a dystopian government.
On the other end of the spectrum, self hosted next cloud on your own hardware, its a significant work, not only to install, but also maintenance, backups, upgrades, troubleshooting if an upgrade breaks it.
Are there any middle ground options?
Proton drive perhaps?
Use Google drive but upload encrypted files only, so they don't know what that is, only as a backup? (of course this will not work for sharing pictures online)
What else?
Thanks.

As you do this, one suggestion, please see if you can analyze altcoins in the context of a specific use case.
I think there are at least 3 different ones in the overall space.
1. Digital gold. A long term store of value, inflation hedge, impossible , or at least very hard, to confiscate. Bitcoin is a clear winner, at least in my view, due to decentralization, network effect, etc.
2. Daily payment rails, like, to buy a coffee. This is where speed and fees matter a lot. Enter lightning, but here we compete with fiat payment rails that work pretty good, to be honest, in my view, at least in the developed world, like paypass, Visa, revolut, cash app, I can do transactions instantly and for free... But no privacy and "they" can block me if they want.
Privacy is another dimension here. Actually also in the digital gold use case, because ideally we don't want dystopian powers to even know we have Bitcoin, right?
3. Smart contracts. Here we enter things like etherum, Solana, etc. and capabilities like DAO, decentralized exchanges, or even these digital receipts for paying for images, however they call them. This is what Bitcoin was probably never even designed or intended to be used for, but still people try.
So, not sure if it helps, but I felt like sharing.
I think that, if we compare Bitcoin with other coins, it will be good to say compare for what, what use case
Good luck with your research.

Well, if framed like this, you are right, I don't need convincing, I should just go ahead and switch to freedom tech
However, is it a "complete authority over me" if I simply keep my pictures on Google photos and use Gmail?
In one sense, yes, it is, in that, they could easily delete my pictures (I have a backup), and for sure they know a lot about me (but unfortunately they know it already, but yes, better to move out for the future)
Yeah, I guess, as I'm writing these words, I'm convincing myself to move more fully

I will gradually move to freedom tech next year
And I will use your content as a guide
I keep thinking, to what extent does it matter
In other words, what am I protecting myself from, if I, let's say, use a degoogled phone?
That Google will know my interests to show me targeted ads? I don't care, I actually prefer to see relevant ads if I have to see ads
That Google will delete my account one day because they dislike something I said online? That would be bad, but by far less likely and, I can protect myself from this, I think, simply by having backups of my data and an email address in my own domain, using proton mail or alike, right?
What else can Google do to me? Denounce me to a dystopian government for being interested in Bitcoin, do that they can try to confiscate it? Sure but, first of all, hopefully extremely unlikely, and secondly, it's "too late" already. I'm signed up in Gmail to many Bitcoin newsletters. They already know.
So, maybe it's OK to stay with Google, for all it's convenience, etc?
And just have a private email in my domain and backup my contacts, files and photos?
Thoughts? I guess I'm looking for an optimal setup, the right balance for me, between the convenience of big tech vs freedom and privacy of the freedom tech
I'll appreciate any comments you may want to share
Thanks for everything you do
I find your materials very helpful in educating myself

Thank you for building this.
May I ask for some guidance on where to start, if I want to play with it?
Install Mutiny Wallet, I guess and, then what?
And, what's exactly in it again? Lower fees? Better privacy?
If I have some sats today in Phoenix wallet on lightning, can I send them to Mutiny without an on-chain fee?
Thanks a lot.

And I hope it will defund different governments more or less evenly. Why?
Because otherwise, if a better government that adopts Bitcoin, it cannot tax people via inflation anymore, while some other, likely worse government still can, to fund the military, isn't there a risk of war, a risk that the governments that accept Bitcoin are invaded by ones that don't?
Invaded by stronger armies because they were able to steal more money, to fund the military, via inflationary tax?
Scary scenario where a better governments lose.
Of course I'd still hope that better governments mean more freedom, innovation, and so better defense technologies, etc. But still...

Do you know a place where a could buy Liquid? Ideally no KYC.
I mean buy liquid, L-BTC, directly, to my green liquid wallet.
So that I could buy liquid weekly, with very low fees, and, every two months or so, peg out to Bitcoin and send to cold wallet.
Possible? Makes sense?
Thank you.

Thanks a lot for sharing this setup.
Do you think it's going to work on Open BSD?
It is not listed in the list of supported distributions.
I'm running a Bitcoin node, pruned, on Vultr, on Open BSD, for $5 a month.
I selected Open BSD for low resources needs, high security and low maintenance reasons.
If I could also try my own VPN on it, it would be nice.

Thank you.
I'm reading it now.
I'm reading the "How to end wars" book.
Enlightening.
And depressing.

It's... What is it? Who wrote it?
Please, tell me more.
I find it so inspiring.
A bit like Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
I almost want to ask how do I join this movement...
But I want to learn more first.

I'm planning to experiment with something like this:
1. Buy lighting from exchange, Relai or Pocket Bitcoin, weekly dollar cost averaging
2. Peg in to Liquid, using side deal, after each buy, keep in Green wallet
3. Keep it in Liquid up to a more significant amount, perhaps after 6 or 8 weekly buys
4. Peg out from liquid to on-chain cold wallet
What do you think?

What is the best place to buy your books?
I searched for your name on Amazon, but Unbar of only as a paperback, I'd like to buy a digital version.
I checked your website, from the profile link, but did not see a way to buy.
Thank you.

By the "cost of freedom", do you mean the price you are willing to pay to be free?
Please let me know if I understood correctly.
Great question.
And yes, it depends, largely also on what "free" means for an individual.
And price in this context is not necessarily monetary.

By sidechains you mean what exactly?
I'm aware of Liquid.
Are there any other sidechains?

2023-12-06 21:14:34

I think I get it now. Thank you.
1. Buy Bitcoin on lighting using robosats.
2. Exchange lightning to liquid on boltz and send liquid to green wallet.
3. After a while, when it adds up and once fees are lower, peg out from liquid to Bitcoin on-chain, using sideswap and send to cold storage.
Am I getting it right? Like a plan for stacking sats with privacy and low fees?
