Yes, we are participating in the Hackathon, but we are waiting for this last day to register the startup. In case you didn't find me among the projects, we still need some things there, and are you also participating?

Thanks for the feedback, @Car. You’re right — I should’ve included audio 😅. This was just the first video, so there will be more updates. Next time, I’ll make a clearer, better-explained video.

As for the payment gateway, I haven’t added it yet since the project is still in early development. The idea is to share progress with the community and keep improving (I’ll check out Zaprite, NWC, and BTC Pay).

If you want to stay updated, join the Discord (it’s just starting, but this is a long-term project).

The project is called ZatoBox: “Zato” for Satoshi and “Box” as in The Satoshi Box. Inside this box, there will be modules that any business can use easily, with no advanced tech knowledge — just register your wallet, add your products, and start selling!

Thank you very much, @AGORA, for the advice and the information you shared with me. It helped me see some important points to keep in mind. I’ll be sharing more updates in the coming weeks, and if you can, it’d be great if you join the Discord group so you can get the next update.

Indeed, you are absolutely right. In fact, it is likely that the transition will take at least 100 years, but as many will know, the toad died because it did not realize that they were heating the water, and this is the same. If the American people do not learn to distinguish what is in front of them, they will have a tragic end.

Personally, the BTC reserve is a trap for all the American people and the countries that use their currencies. It is 1,000 times better to have your BTC and own them.

You're absolutely right... The majority will kneel, nobody wants to be alone, but it's likely that those who are maximalists and faithful to their ideals of freedom will remain and perhaps become martyrs and the light and voice of the resistance.

Personally, I hope the world doesn't reach such an extremist point between one side or the other, although if the situation continues like this in all the major countries, it's probable that this future will come true in the medium term.

/ Personally, my answer is that I won't say anything to anyone until they catch you red-handed with evidence, and then decide whether to do one thing or another. But that answer will be influenced by my loved ones and my ideals of freedom are 40/60, with 60 being the ideals of freedom, but we all have our Achilles' heels.

Uff this good question is one of those questions that you don't know exactly how to answer unless you're imprisoned for confession. Well, the only way governments have to govern us is through the use of force.

I would start by analyzing what is illegitimate, what is right or wrong.

Clearly everything unlawful is everything that is forbidden by the law of a government, but what if I tell you that in Singapore, it is forbidden to chew gum? Mmm... that law is questionable... In most countries, if not almost all, what is not forbidden - I understand this law is to keep the city clean among other things - but is this the right way to determine if something is legal or not?

Obviously I don't hate the law, it's something necessary because there must be order; for example, killing, stealing and all things that are coherently bad should be punished.

As I write this, I realize that perhaps the answer is simple... and well, it also depends on each person's situation, but assuming a generic scenario where you're being pursued for having bought BTC P2P without KYC, and your goal is to provide for your family, I think more than one person would consider your statement "OK, I don't give a damn what you're going to do to me," but on the other hand, it could also happen that you sell out all your acquaintances, losing your fortune along the way because you want to be free from the law, because you want to be with your family, which is also a more than valid option.

"Do you think it would be better to flatly refuse the illegitimate ones?" Well... I think nobody should do it, and I include governments, because all illegitimate actions existed and will exist before or after BTC or CBD, and of course, they have their ways of making them legal. That's why I don't like the term of whether something is legal or not. I think there should be more freedom but always with responsibility and human coherence.

So, answering the question simply, it's likely that I don't have that answer unless I'm locked up, and we all know that for our loved ones, we would endure hell to see them happy or would sell out the entire world just to be with them.

If it were the physical world it would be self-censorship and you would be right but being the world divided in 2 between the digital and the physical 1 single person can have more than one nick and do several things such as the work of awakening more people. But it is true that every day that dividing line of this world is getting smaller and smaller, therefore those who do this work at higher levels of risk have to take precautions.

I like to see this ''self-censorship'' as privacy more than anything else (which is totally different from anonymity ), to make known the benefits of bitcoin only to people you decide you trust and obviously not tell big brother that you use this technology 😉.
