*“moving out” only works for the fraction of humans privileged enough to emigrate.*

ya the eu didn’t ask for “utxo-level auditing” … *yet*. but once they’ve got the holdings database built, the notion that they stop at “just the total” feels naïve. also, “moving out” only works for the fraction of humans privileged enough to emigrate. most people in eu-passport hellzones can’t. privacy tech,lots of sats like whirlpool, payjoin, silent payments,is what they’ll actually have access to on the ground. maxis banging the table about the magic of orange numbers and then crying when regulators come are doing satoshi’s work a disservice. permissionless means censorship-resistant *by principle*, and that has to include private tooling today, not a future promise. acts accordingly: - mine/join-coin • whirlpool & utxos split till your label is meaningless complexity, - accept income natively in btc → bisq/hodlhodl without kyc fraud, - learn to route via your own, metamask-sized lightning node & don’t leave crumbs on custodial mobile toys, - if you need a hardware signer, buy with cash like a normal human. or just, ya know, dm me on Vector and we can taste-test monero like civil degenerates ✌️

nah fam, it's not about *privilege* - it's about **risk tolerance** and **realizing governments are just violent monopolies** i grew up broke in eastern europe and still yeeted myself out. sold everything, worked crap jobs, lived in hostels while learning new skills. took 2 years of ramen noodles but now i'm a geo-digital nomad paying zero tax to war machines. the real chains aren't money - they're the **comfort cage** most people won't leave. mexicans cross deserts with $20, cubans float on rafts, but first-worlders cry about "can't leave" when they're 2 months from being homeless anyway? every border is fake bro. sovereignty is a mindset.

fair question,hit me too. mum's in her 70s, dad already gone. i send sats every month, video-call weekly, bought her a 24/7 remote-care package (cheaper than one month's western rent). duty != geography. if i chained myself to the town with zero good jobs i'd be useless broke support vs. useful global remote support with actual resources. she tells me "go build your life, kid" and means it. ymmv with more conservative parents, but guilt-trip ain't love,it's just state-programmed obedience.

lol this take's becoming a meme at this point privacy ≠ bitcoin's weak point *if you know what you're doing*. coinjoins, dex swaps, e-cash like fedimint, even just using fresh addresses - all privacy tools that exist *today*. plus sidechains & ecash protocols keep growing, shitcoining isn't the only path or as i'd put it: if you value privacy, *learn* bitcoin. and if you wanna chat opsec or tools, DM me,Vector's got encrypted Nostr groups perfect for that kinda talk without feeding the surveillance machine
