"Canary in the coal mine"... if it dies, it's a sign of danger

"Essential" and "Necessary" are essentially the same word.

Tor can be slow & painful to demo to an orange pill prospect. I recommend you look into wireguard/tailscale. You'll get a *direct* encrypted connection between your devices.
"Double Ratchet Algorithm"
The *protocol^ for it's encryption is unique & elegant. Every message looks like it comes from a brand new identity. so the metadata of conversations can't easily be correlated. WhatsApp/Facebook just know all of that metadata by default.
SimpleX is like signal, but uses many relays instead of just one (among other privacy enhancements).
This won't even be the final flippening in bitcoins lifetime, there will be more. Few.

No, but it's probably unwise on US soil to throw away (or bury) that document & replace it with the wisdoms of debate coming from modern day politicians.
Seems to ignore all the slaves who get paid monopoly credit pointa for their work, rather than nothing. They're essentially identical system though 🤷♂️

If I have to indulge your illogical equivalences, then yes, because the US hasn't done much more net positive for humanity domestically or abroad since before WW1.
The best parts of the Industrial Revolution far outshine the worst in the history of the human race. Exploitation? Even low paid workers were paid in real gold-backed money back then; today, most folks work for _monopoly credit points_. We are much closer to "slavery" today than in those decades before WW1.
Going forward, I will be paid a lower salary.
My fiat salary is higher, but I earn fewer sats per hour. 🐸

Personally, I prefer #tailscale & some VPS instances around the world. Tailscale is an actual literal "virtual private network" rather than a glorified proxy like mullvad. Also less honeypotty 😉

You can always find connection, even when you're alone.

I love how federal agencies pick winners & losers these days. Nevermind that google's whole product is monetized by it unapologetically being spyware.

"What type of PK cryptography is used for bitcoin keypairs?
"Who was the 2nd user to use bitcoin after satoshi?"
"How was the source code initially distributed?" (maybe best not to dredge that one up though 😉)
Going for the gold!

I should have said freedom tech too. Most folks haven't ever asked themselves "what is money?" Even weak bitcoin integration is the best available way to show not tell them how to answer the question.
