It is, but if an authority demands access to your data they’ll get it. And your metadata gives away a lot of information. When did you talk with whom, where etc.

Build privacy into projects so that you can say, I can't change it, I can't read it and I can't take it back.

Without privacy there can be no freedom.
BTW:
Bitcoin needs more privacy on layer one.

Fantastic book.
„We need to puncture the self-importance of the age with regular contact with older, deeper, wider sources of feeling: through contact with a natural world that pursues its own priorities with little reference to our own sagas, through the reading of history books that shrink our modern-day adventures and convulsions to a more manageable and rightful size, and through travel to countries that take no interest in our own peculiar national preoccupations, scandals and triumphs.“ https://image.nostr.build/40c2108a0f1f5660509465dd296b6189457d488979a7a0ee2d7819ddabda1fb3.jpg

Bitcoin adoption, slow and steady!
First time I went to #Zambia to share BTC knowledge was in 2022. We started monthly Bitcoin for Fairness meetups in Lusaka. Soon after @BitcoinZambia was founded.
In 2023 we helped @npub1xxc…tfly starting their initiative in Livingstone. One of their students and also in our Crack the Orange educators program is Keswell Mudenda, who now founded Bitwheels.online a taxi service which you can pay in #bitcoin. https://image.nostr.build/6b4f74f499b93754c596d5fcdf881ceed9e6aab6cb148ef226273925aa3ed5b6.jpg

The fact that bitcoin’s price is falling shows how it’s still correlated with traditional assets, and that the majority is not self-custodying all of which goes to show that 99% of people still don’t understand how fundamentally different bitcoin is.

But isn’t each single BTC address linked with the email? Then one could connect those too.

2024-07-24 17:00:22

From what I read and understood from Proton’s docs is that their solution is actually less privacy preserving than a regular Bitcoin wallet. As your BTC addresses are associated with your Proton email one only needs to send you BTC, then one has the email connection to the BTC address though that transaction. So as long as they don’t have default coinjoins, it’s worse. But ppl will believe it’s more private because of their other products.
Also I saw no RBF or coin control.

In many African countries people are exchanging local currencies to USD or Rand or from bank accounts to mobile money etc with money traders who also will take bitcoin and give them local currency. It’s real peer to peer.

2024-07-14 12:38:45

The view that bitcoin is an investment only and a partisan issue is very typical for US-Americans and Europeans as it ignores billions of people in the rest of the world who need bitcoin as a tool to escape their authoritarian regimes’ financial oppression.
Bitcoin is a technology and the only form of money beneath cash that can be used by anyone without permission. Bitcoin doesn’t need politicians good will. Bitcoin is rules without rulers.

When I traveled to Zimbabwe and Botswana the first time in 2020 I knew only one Bitcoin initiative on the whole continent. It was Alakanani Itireleng‘s Satoshi Centre in Gaborone. There might have been some others as the continent is huge. But it guess it was only a handful.
In 2022 we started @npub1fqq…qzch Bitcoin for Fairness #Zambia, initiated what later became Bitcoin Reach in #Zimbabwe and worked with @npub1zkr…k6ec in #SouthAfrica.

Maybe you should inform yourself about Lightning. Recipient privacy is not good that's true, but with BOLT12 and blinded paths this will become better. And privacy is much better than with on chain BTC.
