And Big Mike Obama
The new logo looks like corporate slop.. S&P 500 fiat proof of weapons network companies often have such bland logos.
I like your suggestions, but most people in the world will not go for the *insert some geeky self-sovereign solution that might take more than 30 mins of tinkering.
Privacy should be the default in communication apps.
where our shared currency continues to unite us
Creates division to then ride the uniting kumbayaa narrative.
Third, the digital euro will also function offline, adding another layer of security and reliability. Even if the internet is down, ATMs are out of order or you have no phone signal, you will still be able to pay with digital euro.
Digital euro as a Chaumian e-cash mint?
In these cases we should all normalize saying “blow and hookers” or “Mickey Mouse’s birthday gift” or something else nonsensical.
If everybody did that, they would eventually stop wasting their resources and stop asking.
Although, the tighter the noose becomes, the faster people will start using freedom money.

I’d rather have my node implementation maintained by a distributed network of lunatics instead of just one!
Makes sense.. now that’s a good topic for someone to write a Stacker News article: ”The Fiat Redistribution System Works Against Everyone..”
To clarify, I think I actually mean left-leaning/traditional liberal here.
”Leftists” seem too stubborn ideologically.
Wait until they tokenize or CBDCize real estate and land ownership.
No roof over your head if you don’t comply, peasant!
Depends of course how we measure “mass adoption”.
40-50% of the world population using bitcoin for living expenses daily would be quite massive as well.
It will be a large parallel economy, a force to be reckoned with.
When the noose of financial surveillance with KYC/AML gets so tight, and when separating “clean” coins from “tainted” coins becomes too impractical and ridiculous, normies will be pushed to Bitcoin circular economies.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I LEARNED AT OXFORD WAS THAT YOU CAN HAVE A PHD AND STILL BE AN IDIOT.
Love this quote
I think it’s still too much. I don’t carry 5% of my liquid net worth as physical cash in my wallet either. But to each their own.
Sounds like a lot. Then you have to be actively reading the updates to their terms of service etc. Losing 10% of the stack in the worst case scenario would hurt a lot.
That’s why you’d have the private keys and the multisig descriptor backed up in case the device doesn’t power up anymore.
Phones could work as part of a quick and dirty multisig to reduce access to funds, but I wouldn’t necessarily use them as singlesig hardware wallets cause they’re not designed for that. Of course depends on how much you’re securing.
Hope the Bolivian vendors eventually also learn about self-custody and not just drink the Salvadoran Blink kool-aid!
They could form P2P bitcoin to fiat trading groups on Signal, SimpleX, Vexl etc.
With more surveillance coming up, I feel like Bitcoiners need to be proactive in starting to build parallel societies and alternative institutions.
