Use only Tor + I2P with your Bitcoin Core wallet if you want to be private, no clearnet.
No. Taproot by itself is not a silver bullet privacy tech. Taproot just allows theoretically to do better stuff with coinjoins, etc. Actually taproot can sometimes even worsen your privacy, before there is more adoption of it.
Most of my friends seems to have seen it, except me. Living in a city centre have some downsides, like light pollution.
Price wise Avalon Nano 3 seems better option. https://mineshop.eu/avalon-nano-3/
Can someone help me understand how fast Real Bedford could possibly get to the Premier League if they continue winning each league they play in?
They play Spartan South Midlands Football League Premier Division. That's Level 9 in the English league system. So, 8 years is a minimum, even if they win their league each year.
With their budget you could create club in, for example, Latvia, and would possibly get into UEFA European competitions in 3 years, starting from bottom.
Yes, freedom for Warsaw pact countries, but not yet in USSR.
Latvians still had to fight to regain freedom until 1991.
With nuance - for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia it actually ended in 1991, when Soviet occupation ended. True also for other "Eastern block" nations, although they had little bit more freedom.
Can Monero scale way better than Bitcoin?
It can't. Monero transactions consume more blockspace and takes more CPU time to verify.
JoinMarket is decentralized protocol, people could re-implement it in other languages and add to wallets (currently it's Python using Twisted).
Still not a crime, until you deploy them to the victims. I could play around with viruses in my lab for research. Actually, I did wrote a few as a teenager for educational purposes back in the 1990s.
Better to self host block explorer, but if need to use something public like mempool.space or blockstream.info, definitely use Tor.
I used to earn more before switching to FPPS. Then again, when I turned miner on for the heat, I often kept it running until block was mined.
No, you still need onchain privacy for opening LN channels. Also, you will not make million dollar deals with LN currently.
I wanted ZX Spectrum clone (they were popular here) when I was even younger, but we didn't have money for computer. When I was 10, in 1994, mother bought used IBM PC/AT clone for her work (AMD Am286 14 MHz CPU, 1 MB RAM, 40 MB ST506 MFM HDD, EGA 16 colour video [max resolution 640x350]). That was my first actual experience with computer at home and I started learning to code some two weeks later.
