 What would make your life better? 
 More time and freedom to do what I want, and more money. 🤣🐶 
 What do you want to do? 
 Kinda wish I could just break away from traditional society and go live on an island somewhere without laws 😂, unrealistic probably 
 Isn’t living in the wild on your own kind of like that? 
 Sorta, but I want to go live somewhere away from society, ditch my digital footprint, not pay taxes or deal with government anymore. 
 Should be able to do most of that in the wilderness. 
 i have always wanted a boat to explore & enjoy the globe/ 
 Why you do not try it? I think achieving this is not too much effort. Difficult is rather surviving under this circunstances. Maby it helps your appreciate society. 
 More time, the rest depends on me 
 What’s taking up your time? 
 True friend 
 What does this mean to you ? What’s a true friend 
 Someone who understands me and I can trust to talk with and tell everything.
Trust and understand being the keywords  
 Perhaps being able to generate an income? Otherwise, making a nuke for fun and profit. 
 You've been put on a list, congrats 
 Yea but that means nostr is making headway 
 You’re on the list too https://youtu.be/wE2aP-pVLUg 
 Fuck 
 It’s all good they don’t actually care or they’d do something about Iran’s program. 
 become a farmer and traditional life 
 What’s stopping this from happening? 
 We lost the skills. If you were born in a city that skill is 3 generations away from you. We can pretend we will but we know nothing 
 drugs, mostly 
 World peace 
 A big ask 😆 
 More soberness and vigilance, but each breath is better than the last. 
 More corn 
 Bitcoin being treated as a currency without capital gains taxes. I hate having to keep track of it and it makes actually using Bitcoin quite a nightmare. 
 How about just not paying taxes on the gains? Seems if one is careful with privacy tools you can probably fly under the radar a lot. 
 how will they know if you don't report it?
 
 How do they ever know? Audits. I am not interested in breaking the law and finding out how they know at trial before being thrown into a cage. Especially for capital gains of all things. The tracking is just annoying, but I'm not risking prison for this. 
 Probably isn't good enough when getting thrown into a cage is a potential outcome.

Paying the capital gains tax itself isn't my main issue. My main issue is with tracking every little transaction (buy and spend). It's fucking tedious. I could let software do it probably but that opens up a whole new privacy concern when it's already bad enough. 
 You're probably right. I still don't know though how they would track funds through coinjoin -> self custodial lightning -> gift cards for example 
 More life... I need more LIFE! 😉 
 More open minds and a little less dogma 
 Knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt humanity will never use nuclear weapons again and no taxes on Bitcoin. 
 21 bitcoins ! 
 Retirement 
 Knowing more people who are willing to argue competitive, but with the gole to learn. Not to teach. 
 Better mental focus 
 Infinite happiness 
 The #secret to a better #life is to love what you do, and do what you love! ❤️
