I fucked up my opsec. There could be a point of time in the future when I'm wanted by NSA/FBI or some like that.I have a burner phone and I installed Telegram on it, which is fine, but then I added my account on my desktop computer with no VPN... so now Telegram knows my home IP address. Fuck. How bad is this? I mean, is Telegram known for giving away their users to authorities? Should I delete the account or too late now?

@Andrew_B @pox Andrew, so you would recommend me to start a new nym identity and launch the business on a different domain name? I did that already a couple times, can do one more time I guess. I do like the logo, that's a pity to give up :)I don't think staying pseudonymous is impossible, Satoshi did it :) There are many darknet sites who are wanted, but "they" can't find them...

@Andrew_B @pox Thanks! :)I ended up deleting my Telegram account, I don't think I doxxed myself too badly.I'm building a darkweb-style business, no KYC, completely pseudonymous, Bitcoin only. I'm not gonna be selling drugs or anything, but I'm also not gonna be paying any taxes, and that could be a problem if my government finds out... I'm not in US, so that's good -- I believe US has the toughest 3-letter agencies, my country is nowhere as scary.

I wonder how much Bitcoin is HODLed in USA compared to the rest of the world... no way to know this, right? But maybe some reasoned estimates?

@Full_node Amazing, thanks a bunch!As expected, a steady stream flows into USA, with just occasional drops going elsewhere. I'll probably have to move there, too :)

@htimsxela I don't think it's an existential threat, because physical Bitcoin will still be out there and it doesn't matter if a big chunk of it belongs to the trusts and etfs, we can still transact p2p in the dark. Number go up is good, more scarcity more fun :)

@htimsxela > If a huge chunk of bitcoin's value is locked into these sort of custodial investment vehicles, then things like scarcity become less certain.Why?

@htimsxela > If all these new users just buy ETFs/etc, then the idea that 'you and me can keep doing p2p trade anyways' becomes much less meaningful.I don't understand your argument... You and me can transact permissionlessly regardless of what's outside the two of us. They can all lose their coins, or all those coins can belong to a single person, why do we care?

@htimsxela @CalebCarr You don't submit a transaction via a node, you just broadcast it.And having more BTC than me doesn't make you more influential on the network in any way. I think you're confused on the protocol somewhere.

@htimsxela @CalebCarr Well, in theory maybe, but nah. After 2017 this is impossible in my mind, that war is won once and for all.

@htimsxela @CalebCarr Noone's gonna go to another fork, no matter how wealthy the proponents are. There was a chance in 2017, but we won that war and it's over now.

@htimsxela @CalebCarr Yes, I think you are right.I'm dismissing this theoretical possibility because I find it highly improbable, but it is a possibility I guess... I can't quite see how exactly, but I can wholeheartedly agree with the point that any sort of centralization is ALWAYS worse than decentralization.

@pox Truly free networks mean illegal porn and drugs and stuff. Like dark web and fediverse, no way around it.
