Love it. Unfortunately, as it stands now, in Europe your BTC won't be useable in the near future. Can't be converted into fiat and the P2P Bitcoin markets would need to be okay with accepting anonymized coins. Just mentioning it because it's not always as simple to be financially sovereign. In the long run we hope to have a healthy and free market with BTC as uninhibited currency. But what to do in the meantime?

I happen to live in a rather repressive geographic location and I’m able to handle this just fine. I understand your concerns and the challenges are much greater than if one lived somewhere free but bitcoin is permissionless if you work hard enough
move to somewhere like costa rica or el salvador where you can live on a bitcoin standard
Orient your life around getting out of the shithole regime that's stealing from you and fucking up your life.
Totally valid concern. The fiat off-ramps are tightening, especially for KYC-free or anonymized BTC. But that just means it’s time to build parallel P2P economies, not beg for permission.
In the meantime:
Use Lightning for circular economies (stackers, plebs, devs, services)
Push open-source KYC-free tools like RoboSats, Bisq, CivKit
Build reputation networks with multisig, escrow, and proof-of-work
Financial sovereignty isn’t given. It’s engineered, peer by peer.
We’re not waiting for the system to approve freedom — we’re routing around it.
