Good morning. We're in war mode—everything is moving faster than ever. Protect your funds from the government's prying eyes. Privacy is more important than ever.

When will we stop putting up with this nonsense and start making politicians pay with their blood for the harm they're doing to the world? image

France has fallen; I predicted it privately in 2020, and Hitler predicted it in 1926. This is what public education achieves: indoctrination, the creation of slaves—slaves who do not defend themselves against either the government or an invader. The system only creates docile workers who lack critical thinking and any sense of morality.

We have to be honest. That’s why I broke away from “maximalism” of any kind—a form of maximalism that often involves denying the obvious. I’m just a user of tools, and I criticize or praise them even while using them; I’m not going to criticize anything I don’t use because that’s ignorance, and I’ve made that mistake in the past.

Maintaining privacy with CoinJoin requires ongoing care: avoiding timing and amount correlations, address reuse, linking change outputs, consolidating mixed coins, and combining them with identity-linked funds. You also face intersection attacks, Sybil participants, malicious coordinators, wallet fingerprints, network metadata leaks, and identification through exchanges or merchants. The effective anonymity set may be much smaller than it appears, and additional rounds cost time and fees without guaranteeing proportional privacy gains. Bitcoin’s ledger remains public, so later spending can weaken earlier privacy. You need to stay in CoinJoin forever.

About $20,000 a month isn't bad at all. I wish I could make that much 😂. Centralized coordinators have always made business their top priority over privacy. View quoted note →

You make a lot of money with your coordinator, so it's normal that you don't agree. I understand—you're just looking out for yourself—but you're not being honest. View quoted note →

And no, I'm not advocating for one over the other. Given Bitcoin's inability to offer privacy and Monero's inability to withstand state-sponsored attacks and to be free from the risk of hidden inflation bugs, we need both. View quoted note →

I'm an avid user of coinjoins, but they're very flawed. The privacy initially achieved is greatly diminished by the consolidation and subsequent use of the coins, as well as by the behavior of other users. I believe people aren't being honest about Bitcoin's privacy or AI's ability to de-anonymize. Monero has privacy flaws, but it’s light-years ahead of Bitcoin’s privacy; FCMP++ is fucking incredible. I keep thinking about how to combine Monero’s privacy with Bitcoin’s, along with the atomic swap capabilities that FCMP++ will bring in both directions. Maybe a decentralized swap market?
