So you’ve decided to keep separate stacks of KYC and non-KYC BTC in case your non-KYC BTC is not accepted by some entities. Tell me this: 1. What businesses/people that run Chainalysis software on your UTXOs before deciding to take your BTC would you continue to do business with? 2.

Tech minimalist Bitcoiners are funny. Here are some hard pills for them to swallow: - Internet-connected cameras at home are superior home security. You can monitor your house and operate home automation systems from anywhere. - Modern EVs are superior. You can get electricity from pretty much anywhere. The grid, solar, diesel generator, even a homemade steam engine - chop trees and throw fuckin logs in there! - Your AR-15 won’t help much against Neuralink’ed invaders who have 360 degree vision and telepathically control drone swarms.
