 Anonymous eSIMs were there missing piece for a digital life with dignity.

Without Bitcoin, we wouldn't have those either (imaging having to pay for one with a credit card). 

It's all starting to come together, piece by piece. 
 What about imei? 
 Buy a second-hand phone off eBay if you're worried about IMEI. 
 Better yet, get someone else to buy it for you  
 I see so many people getting arrested for things they didn’t do, simply because they purchased something in their name. In my opinion, this is not okay. It’s very careless. Where is the humanity? 
 Well, I mean, don't go doing that for someone who is gonna do criminal stuff and you should be okay, it's just helping to enhance privacy. Another option is cash purchase through FB marketplace. Either way, if you can achieve separation between your name and the device it'll help. 
 ...You realise all the bad shit is humanity too right? 😂  
 I really think everyone needs another bloody word for what they are attempting to say... 
 Although, I wish I could shuffle the IMEI everytime the phone connects to the network, like with mac addresses. 
 i could do this with my reverse engineered Nokia 3310 back in the day 😅  
 That’s next level😂 I just played Snake all the time on it 
 obviously ! we did have our own snake clone in mados... so much was essential 🤣  
 Or a local market place, paying cash.  
 I love silent.link. I'm using it right now whilst overcoming sanctions. I used nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 to pay and said fuck you to the USSA, ESSU and my very own Stalag, the USSK

 literally going overseas in 2 days and will check these out 
 One of my favorite ever clips is the Seth for Privacy interview with the Silent Link founder, specifically the moment where Seth is doing his usual schtick where he talks about privacy from a philosophical point and sentimentalizes it. He asks the guy if he had childhood experiences that created his passion for privacy. 

Now this Russian guy doesn't have an answer and it feels like he wants to say "the fuck are you talking about? We sell esims to drug dealers." 

Here's the episode. It's pretty good overall.

 1. Not random 
2. Not Russian 
3. Intention misinterpreted 

Thank you.

 Pre paid debit cards purchased with cash 
 eSIMS are just another way of tracking humans & monitoring them to further control them.  
 Very useful to know. Cheers. 👍 
 very very very hard to pay with bitcoin while staying anonymous. 
 *monero 
 Or just buy an anonymous sim card with cash (if they are available where you are). Cheaper, better, easier.
