I don't understand the reason for your sarcasm. In your original reply, were you not asking for an anonymous way to obtain Bitcoin, so that one could then use it to buy books? My reply described how it's easily possible to conver

What do you mean? As I mentioned, the reverse is just as easy. You give then cash, they give you USDT or BTC. Now you can buy all the ebooks you want with anonymous crypto.

There are plenty of anonymous (even decentralized) P2P market places for trading crypto for cash, bank transfers, or other agreed upon forms of payment. I have over 2x my fiat savings in crypto and none of it could easily be traced to my re

It's really not. Growing up, I had plenty of classmates who spent more than that on superficial car modifications while working a minimum wage job and whose family was on food stamps.

It's not ridiculous. You need to consider the numbers involved. If one extra person breaks his leg because he didn't look and see the quiet car before crossing the street, that's a fair trade off for reducing the noise poll

Sure, but to achieve equal remineralization, you'll likely end up ingesting orders of magnitude more fluoride when delivered via drinking water vs toothpaste.

What I don't understand is how they keep most freelancers on the platform after finding a client. I've only used it once, but after having a call with the client, I felt comfortable accepting payment directly in crypto and not pay

Except you can no longer back up your private key, so you must trust a 3rd party to restore access when you lose the only allowed copy.

So can I set up a self-hosted solution? I don't want to trust a 3rd party to be able to restore access to accounts after losing my phone. I've lost several Google and Yandex accounts that way. Despite knowing the passwords, the

You just listed a bunch scary sounding financial buzz words, but I doubt that a thorough analysis of them would support your conclusion. In fact, many have the opposite effect and result in more efficient price discovery. Take naked short

Probably not. There are terminals with surprisingly high latency, even on modern hardware. See here for examples of ~100 ms of local latency: https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2022/07/terminal-latency/

It depends what you value most. If you don't mind corruption, then in a lot of developing countries like SE Asia, you can have a huge amount of personal freedom by paying the (relatively cheap) occasional bribe. If you're morally

It you live in a big city, it's easy enough to find someone to meet in person and exchange crypto for $1-10k cash a few % below the market rate. Some will even pay above market rate if you can do $100k+.
