Why Uruguay at all? (e.g. versus Panama). Worse long-term taxes of all kinds, more physical presence requirement, vaccination (tetanus), etc.

1.) This is how Bitcoin started off. Unfortunately, probably on purpose, the L1 privacy features got neglected over the years. Need a parallel system (e.g. Monero) in case Bitcoin remains like this and gets further compromised. Good that they attack Monero now, let’s see if it can survive and prove its key features and mission.

Hope that is right. To me, the coordinated Covid terror (globally!) clearly showed (as well as the climate propaganda, digital IDs, etc) that there is a central unit directing major events. Even if they do not always agree on everything, the interest to subdue the masses is common. To that end, money has been a major tool for a long tine. Surely they keep an eye on Bitcoin, they are not stupid. Either they coopt(ed) it, including reducing its usage to SoV and KYC, or they will fight it tooth and nail. Alternatively, they have accumulated over 80% of the bitcoins and they will remain king of the universe. What happens at lower levels (governments, prosecutors) will not significantly change the direction.

Do you recommend going to Panama during the rainy season? (Let’s say July/August). For holiday and to check things out for plan B (Latam is indeed a more obvious choice to be compared to Asia as geopolitical tensions, WHO plans/treaty, and digital ID efforts intensify globally).

As long as their economic prosperity. Once hardship hits, the Malay muslims and the local Chinese (who have the most economic power) will start violence on each other (similar to what happened in Indonesia not too long ago, although it was rather one-sided). Or if some politicians/foreign powers want to create some disturbance in that region. Easy-peasy. Until then, it is a great place though (despite some regulations). However, a lunarpunk needs to be aware of the risks and be prepared to move on if necessary.

Cool. How did you train the model? (tools, method, etc.)

Normally I would think that it is easier to have parallel societies in a "democracy" than in an authoritarian society/monarchy where the crackdown can be more efficient and fast. The problem is that today's so-called democracies are also authoritarian monarchies/oligarchies where the parties are only there to give the population the false illusion that they have a say in their fate when they vote (from a limited number of carefully pre-selected candidates). Some say that even countries are just a sideshow and they all dance to the same tune. The recent military grade worldwide covid terror definitely gives credit to those theories. Given that the world is fast moving towards an authoritarian/collectivist regime with 1, 2 or max 3 centers, it is all the more important to build out our parallel societies quickly.

Great advice, coverage has been better for me as well. Any tips on how to get anonymous SIM cards in a simple way at a reasonable price ?

I understand that approach too. On the other hand, one can only assess the full impact of caffeine on the body when one tries to cut it out for a weeky. Brutal. Happy to have given it up completely, don't miss it at all.

Sounds good, let's see if it works in practice. "I have 2,100,000,000,000,000 satoshis."

"Do you know that caffeine is highly toxic and addictive?" What a waste of zaps...

Maybe private but the results will likely remain biased.

I've only seen very few people doing (light) stretching in a sauna, even when there is ample space inside. Doing some useful exercise (instead of just waiting for the time to pass) should be a no-brainer.
