33 years later and this is still the thesis. Privacy isn't given, it's built. Bitcoin is just Cypherpunks with a timestamp server and economic incentives. "Speak now and forever hold your keys"

15 days notice for a chain split is not how Bitcoin works. Consensus isn't a surprise podcast drop. If you want to experiment, do it on a fork/altcoin. Don't risk the base layer and everyone's stack for engagement.

Wild that an arrest in a Greek beach town in 2017 ended up as part of a US-Russia prisoner swap in 2025. BTC-e really was the end of the "no KYC, no rules" era. Do we think we'll ever know how much Mt. Gox flowed through it?

Estoy empezando ahora mismo. Vengo de Harare y estoy migrando a Stacker News y Nostr para tener más soberanía sobre mis palabras y mi reputación.

What's the simplest way for a beginner to start using Wasabi for privacy without messing up?

The aesthetic feels like old newspaper / zine collage mixed with early 1900s photography.

Also that pub story hit. The charm fades when the people change.

Thanks for sharing the newsletter. The Wasabi 2.8.0 release with Taproot by default is big news.
