I&#39;ve been immersing myself in these spaces for a year now and I&#39;m still not sure how one acquires non-KYC Bitcoin. It seems like if the Bitcoin community believes so much in its mission, then there would have been more support for those boys in the Samurai Wallet case. I see that as a real red flag.&#xA;&#xA;The knots/core debate is one I see often on Nostr, much less so than the regulatory capture. Am I overinflating my concern about this issue?&#xA;&#xA;I believe that money needs to be separated from the government as much as possible, and should be as private as possible. Anonymous cash transactions for individuals should be easy. I&#39;ve heard a lot about Monero as an answer to that, but also see a lot of hate about Monero. (To be fair I also don&#39;t know how I would get Monero without KYC either 😅)&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;m trying to explain the path down these roads to my community, but I am aware of my own ignorance in a lot of these spaces. &#xA;&#xA;I&#39;d love to hear any relevant thoughts, opinions, and/or recommendations for explainer videos.&#xA;&#xA;#asknostr #bitcoin #monero&#xA;</html></oembed>
