DarkFi is a very interesting project, with DarkFi we can transfer Bitcoin anonymously, it is a tornado cash by default.
Strong points:
- Decentralized
- Anonymous (ZK proofs)
Weak points:
- It's a blockchain, it's not scalable.
- The other receiver has to be on DarkFi as well.
At the end of the day, you have to have a set of tools that allow you to use your bitcoin anonymously, the darkness is looming faster than privacy develops in Bitcoin.

Liquid is not completely anonymous, but through swaps you can achieve anonymity, Lightning is anonymous with nuances, depending on whether you are the sender or the receiver, and privacy can be improved using different techniques.
In short, your statement is true, but knowing what is being done.
Totally vomit, bitcoin was not created to subsidize more state 🤮.
“According to CNBC, nearly 50% of all corporate funds raised for the 2024 presidential election come from Bitcoin and crypto-related donations“

A Supreme Court judge on Friday ordered the suspension of Elon Musk's X social media network in Brazil for failing to comply with an order to name a new legal representative for the company.
Access to the platform must now be blocked "throughout the Brazilian territory," the source said on condition of anonymity, confirming media reports citing the judge's ruling.
Anyone using a VPN to circumvent the court could be fined $8,800.

Confidential Liquid Peg-in
Elements Core v23.2.2 introduced a vsize discount for confidential transactions, making Liquid payments with blinded amounts as cheap or cheaper than explicit ones. However, blinding a single peg-in claim isn’t very private since the linked Bitcoin UTXO shows the explicit amount. To achieve true confidentiality, multiple claims should be mixed into one transaction, similar to CoinJoin.
PSWeb v1.7.0 implemented “ClaimJoin,” allowing nodes to join peg-in claims anonymously. Nodes send invitations to join, and communication is encrypted and relayed through other nodes. When all peg-ins mature, the initiator prepares a large PSET with inputs and outputs shuffled randomly, which participants blind and sign. Up to 10 claims can be joined, but the process can take up to 34 hours.
If any participant becomes unresponsive, they are kicked out, and if the initiator fails, participants revert to standard claims. As a last resort, peg-ins can be claimed manually with elements-cli. All sensitive operations happen locally on the node, ensuring privacy.

A message to women
Stop buying those crappy creams and products that you put on your face, they are useless.
To maintain a healthy skin:
- Stay hydrated
- Eat Healthy
- Do sports
There is no other secret, notice that most of you have worse skin than men, especially on your face. The reason is:
- You don't stay hydrated (because you don't do sports and you don't feel thirsty).
- You eat shit
- You don't do sports
- You put shitty products on your skin.

These tables circulating on the internet of brute force password hacks are totally incorrect.
These tables only work for passwords generated randomly by computers or applications such as KeePassXC, if the password is generated by a human they are useless, since humans are predictable and when a password is hacked by brute force different types of dictionaries are used which substantially shortens the hacking time.
If you want to measure well the entropy of your password with an algorithm that takes into account dictionary attacks and predictive attacks use the KeepassXC calculator.
Recommendation: Never use human generated passwords.

Many banks use a 6-digit pin number, which is very indicative of how concerned they are about the security of their customers.
The banking system is the most dishonest industry on the planet.
Tip:
Using dictionary words is safe as long as you use more than 7 words (7 is more than enough) and they are chosen randomly as for example from the EFF list, in such a case the entropy is very high and your passprhase is safe, this is usually easier to remember than a 20 character alphanumeric password.

The problem is that against normal people they do bring out John Rambo, remember covid?
I prefer that the state and its biting dogs (police) do not exist, but we are in the worst situation, against criminals justice is not applied and against innocent people excessive violence is applied, either physical or judicial, for example for opposing immigration as in the UK.
Clown World
Police chase criminal with tiny bike in Bradford (UK).
I always think Clown World can't surprise me anymore but it does it again.
Against the criminals they bring out the most useless cops on the planet, against a normal citizen who pays his taxes they religuiously bring out Rambo (as in covid).

Applying the same logic, all ISPs are also participants in the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse (drugs, money laundering, pederasty and terrorism).
Let's put everyone in jail.
Or does it not work like that? Is it just an excuse to imprison those who do not agree with your ideals?

According to the justice system, Telegram's lack of moderation, cooperation with law enforcement and the tools offered by Telegram, makes it an accomplice to drug trafficking, crimes against minors and fraud.

It is quite easy to take them down, the only viable option is to use Tor, if the relays are behind Tor they do not depend on the DNS naming system and you cannot know their ip.

Darkness has come to Europe, Pavel Durov, owner of Telegram, is arrested in France for refusing to censor his platform according to the new postulates of the European Soviet Union.
This is another reminder of why you don't have to use centralized platforms.
Nostr > Twitter, Instagram, TikToK...
Simplex > Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp...
Bitcoin > Banks, Visa, Matercard...
Bisq, Robosats, lnp2pbot, Mostro > Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Coinbase...

The analysis of securemessagingapps is totally incorrect, read the thread.
As for threema being a honeypot, I'll simply tell you, can you tell what code they run on their servers?
https://x.com/SimpleXChat/status/1827312939025457250
If you already start from lies with the Simplex protocol, what do you expect me to argue with you?
You have relied on securemessaginapp's analysis which is totally incorrect.
And you show that you have no idea how the Simplex protocol works, end of conversation.
This is a "vulnerability" specific to all p2p networks.
It is intrinsic to their operation, otherwise they would not be distributed networks.
P2p networks are not good at offering privacy.
The problem is not the content of the message that is effectively encrypted, the problem is the metadata that is generated or that can be ascertained through the communication network.
For example imagine that you live in a totalitarian regime, you are A and if you talk to person B you are dead.
In signal we cannot see the content of what A talks with B, but if we know that A has talked with B, the server knows them, you are dead.
In P2P networks if they do not use some kind of routing type tor as session, we can find out if A talks to B as would be the case of Keet, although you can not know the content of the messages because they are encrypted if you can know that they have spoken to each other, you're dead.
With Simplex you can not know that A has spoken to B, simply because there is no such persistent identity and also the sending of messages is rotating between different servers, add also that there is now routing of messages so it is impossible to know where the message comes from. Therefore you can neither know the content of messages nor can you know that A has spoken to B.
Good morning!

We may think it is irrational for Bitcoin to go up or down because of the words of a central banker, but Bitcoin was created to reward or punish human actions.
Bitcoin punishes the creation of money.
Atlas Shrugged
There are so many things happening that remind me of the book Atlas Shrugged....
In Spain for example the railroad network is a chaos like in Taggart Transcontinental...
Put in gogle “railway chaos in spain” and you will see.
Fortunately, there is hope.
The Bitcoin communities that have been built in El Salvador or Costa Rica are like Galt Valley.
Note added:
What is really important for bitcoin price to rise is M2 liquidity (blue color), we have had bull runs like 2017 where dollar liquidity (orange color) did not increase.
That said, I also expect that starting in September the liquidity of the dollar system will start to grow.
Why this happens (That has more importance the global m2 liquidity than the liquidity of the dollar system for the price of bitcon, being the dollar the world reserve currency) is something I do not know, the formula I use to measure the liquidity of the dollar is:
WALCL - (WDTGAL +RRPONTSYD)
Where:
WALCL = Total assets held by the Federal Reserve.
WDTGAL = general account of the U.S. Treasury
RPONTSYD: Overnight reverse repurchase agreements, which are Treasury securities sold by the Fed in temporary open market operations.

FIAT Art
Italian artist Salvatore Garau sold an invisible sculpture a few years ago for 15,000 euros.
The so-called “Buddha in contemplazione” is not the first sale of an invisible sculpture he makes. He did it before with another immaterial piece called “Io sono” (I am).
These sculptures cannot be seen, but to “admire” them you have to stand in front of an unobstructed space of 150x150 cm where, according to the artist, you can neither pass nor step on.

No imbecile, to avoid inflation you simply have to take away the power to create money from the central banks.
But what are you going to say if you are subsidized by the state?
The inflation created by the state debt is only a part of it, you have left out all the inflation generated by the loans and subsidies of the private sector from which you benefit, you fucking hypocrite.

It's not even about investing, it's about understanding how the system works.
- Global liquidity m2 in vertical
- Waiting for the Fed rate cut.
The rest is noise, within a year the price of bitcoin will be more than double the current price.
No need to play buy and sell, just buy unfalsifiable assets and hold them.
