I hope this will get attention. Just so more people will realise that bitcoin is dangerous to use and accept because it is not private. Even if youre doing nothing wrong, would you want to unintentionally receive funds linked to this?

But is there evidence that censoring conspiratorial opinions does anything other than strengthen them? On other platforms they get orders of magnitude more interest because they were censored, and more people move to other platforms.

Privacy is much more difficult than people think - when it comes down to technical details, it is required for privacy to be default, otherwise it simply doesn't work. Even when every single transaction is mixed, and values are hidden,

I think this is exactly right. Low tax jurisdictions are also often desperate to attract business. Mobile people are willing to pay high tax only when they get something else like stability and high quality of life

Bitcoin transactions are not nameless in practice because people will nearly always interact with exchanges and merchants. There is so much information from that. Mixers and CoinJoins don't work well enough when used by a small percent

Throughout all of human history people used private forms of money like cash. Why is it that suddenly only now it is a disaster to have financial privacy because of "crime"?

Those cops are choosing to be the enforcers of the laws/sentences which you are suggesting are unjust.

I find your perspective extremely disturbing, and believe it empowers anti-vaxxers more than anything else.

If you don't trust your government or your personal safety, I can't imagine that it will be smart to use currencies like this that have ZERO privacy. I will stick with Monero. They have gone through all this complex redesign appar

When I go through the steps to see what needs to be done to be a validator it says "terms of use are entered into by and between you and the Ethereum Foundation". So it's a centralized joke?

Exactly, I started writing exactly the same thing before I saw your comment, and I lived above the arctic circle for a while. The article relies on false logic that winter is 'worse' the further north you go, but can be the opposi

If drugs were legal there wouldnt any cartel activity associated with it, maybe no powerful cartels at all, so this is stupid logic

Yes, humans in previous generations wouldn't even bat an eyelid at the death rates. it wasn't long ago that people used to willingly go on boat journeys even though 10% of the passengers would typically die on the way

You can criticize the health of anything like this. There isn't a comparison; how healthy is it compared to cow milk? The comparison to coke is ridiculous. Some sugar and canola oil doesn't even seem bad to me, seems perfectly fin

It doesn't make any sense to 'control your own thoughts'. It's weird how people seem to picture their 'real self' as some disparate nonphysical entity in their body pulling levers, in this case even separate fr

If an action is going to minimise anxiety and depression in the long run, then it's what you want to do, so no mind-games and lying to yourself should be required.

I think this is all abysmal, dangerous advice. The author says to 'become a robot' and you're saying to 'lie to yourself'. It's all very anti-Zen. I think Alan Watts would say it leads to double-binds and disco

Taiwan did so well because they knew that Chinese authorities couldn't be trusted; and they shared their info with WHO that they suspected human-to-human transmission very early, only for it to be ignored. There was plenty of reason to
