Bitcoin is already, by far, the best privacy coin. What is left now is to teach the history of how we got here - recognizing pioneers like Wasabi and Samurai - and learn from it. Even more importantly - spread the knowledge on how to use the right tools: eCash, Boltz swaps, RoboSats, solid wallets like AquaBitcoin & BullBitcoin, and merchant platforms such as @BTCPay Server. It's critical that most Bitcoin stays no-KYC. Anything less than a supermajority pushes us toward a dystopian future - one already previewed in Sweden, where anyone can legally look up your home address and Bitcoin holdings in a public, government-mandated registry. I don't think anyone sane wants to live in the chaos of that type of world. See you today at Lugano PlanB P2P Stage, 3 PM where I'll be talking with SethForPrivacy, @npub1au23...t53j, @Max and @ODELL about one of my favorite topics. No privacy, no freedom ✊🗽

But you are getting re-orged and attaxked all the time. I also heard, that XMR is so private, that you cannot verify how many coins are in circulation. Bitcoin is perfect in that goldilock zone being pseudonymous.

I'm not talking about monero. pseudonymity is insufficient because it is trivial to link UTXO clusters to KYC information now or in the future. Onchain #bitcoin privacy is almost dead. I hope to hear the talk but if its all rationalizing custodial privacy and ecash I'm out.

If you run your own node it (probably) is. One of the problems with LN privacy is that if it broke (routing node collude etc), you'd never know.

Where did you get the notion that Swedes' bitcoin holdings are available "in a public, government-mandated registry"?

↩ replying to npub1y0ga...jxa0

There is this law that citizens must reveal ALL of their assets and the value. It was intended to keep everything transparent to fight ‚corruption‘ i believe. Little did they know that you make your citizens a target for bad people (I guess?).

- if bitcoin is the privacy coin why does the name privacy coin exist - why does it exist

Just swap it for $xmr, no need to do all those gymnastics to achieve privacy.

Would be nice to have a written guide about privacy on bitcoin. Sometimes it's difficult to obtain without KYC, or only if you agree to pay 5-20% more. samurai was the best with the whirlpool. what other options ? btc->xmr->btc->⚡...

I would suggest you try BULL wallet. When purchasing off an exchange of your choice, withdraw via Lightning to your Instant Payments wallet in BULL, which will automatically swap your LN bitcoin to Liquid bitcoin (perks of Liquid is that transaction amounts are confidential) and then swap back to on-chain. You can even connect your wallet to BULL wallet, and set automatick swaps from Liquid directly to your cold-storage when your threshold is reached i.e. 1M or 5M sats, it's up to you. Also Bull Bitcoin wallet should be available in Switerzalnd soon, so youll be able to buy Bitcoin directly via Liquid, followed by auto swap to cold stage.
