Checking the latest Bitcoin metrics, I can't help but reflect on the fact that in November 2021, tge network was secured with a total hashrate of 162 EH/second with a btc price of $65000. Today, it's dropped from a high of 1048 EH/s but is still sitting at 871 EH/s with a BTC price around $63000. The network is 5 times more secure with a lower BTC price. Sure we can expect hashrate to keep dropping but we're still in a much better position than we were 4/5 years ago.

What is your favourite DEX, or the onee most respectful of one's privacy? I have used HODL HODL and after reading through their updated privacy policy, I'm put off by how much data they retain and disclose to authorities. Our right to privacy is a farce and I wouldn't be surprised if, upon exercising our rights and requesting deletion of data an investigation is then performed because, how many users will go to the trouble of getting their data deleted? #Bisq looks interesting but it has constraints and I don't find it very user friendly. Any other option out there?

What is your favourite way of buying non-KYC bitcoin? I've used HodlHodl in tge past but paying with Revolut in europe doesn't make it strcitcly non KYC. Cash is not an option for bigger amounts imho.

I've decided to run a m#Monero node now next to my Bitcoin node. How many years will it be relevant if I make it 500Gb SSD compared with 1Tb ?
