Each state has different laws around it. Worth looking into what your state says about the options.
Some of it comes down to how you wish to structure your business as it pertains to taxes and separation from personal assets.
Depending on the type of business you are establishing, you may also consider less conventional approaches like John Bush's "Freedom Trinity" framework. Check out Live Free Academy. He probably has something on it there. Otherwise do a search for "John Bush + Freedom Trinity".

Pro tip: your nsec is your private key, like a password. Keep is safelys stored somewhere and don't plug that into other Nostr apps. Use a signing app to sign in to other apps like Wavlake. If you are using Android you can check out the Amber signing app. Otherwiae there is Nostr Connect and Nsec Bunker. You can use the asknostr hash tag if you need further assistance.

Regulations are a huge part of the issue too. You *CAN'T* go back without rolling back a lot of regulatory tape. There is a modern pickup truck sold in India that is just a pickup, almost no digitization, no bells and whistles.
It is illegal to sell or import it into the US.

A good friend orange-pilled me. Sometime after I happened upon Mark Moss's YT channel and learned a lot from him. Eventually I discovered guys like @nprofile…hce4, @nprofile…vlfj, @nprofile…xafw, @nprofile…qft7, @nprofile…ph8a, @nprofile…ks73, and others. I understood so little of the fiat system before discovering bitcoin. That discovery, and gleaning insight and wisdom from these guys, has really changed my life.
And not just my life. As the father of three young children, it is now also a blessing to my generations, however many the Lord sees fit to establish.
"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children". Bitcoin has made this more possible for our family than it would have ever been in a fiat system.
Trust in my friend's judgement is what initially made me believe, and then the further down the rabbit hole you go, belief begets conviction.

Obtainium is great. I would advocate keeping that and consider swapping F-Droid with Zapstore. It has a growing catalog of apps, has better UI/UX than Obtainium and F-Droid, uses a web of trust model, and you can zap devs and projects in the app.
Or you can just have all three on hand, haha. One is none, two is one, three's a guarantee.

I agree. I understand the responses of many here but I'm also of the "who cares if the USG wants to stack shitcoins?" mindset.
I prefer bitcoin only, but I would also rather they release the bitcoin they currently have to the markets and buy BTC for the reserve legitimately. But that is a much more complicated process than simply moving what they have to reserves. So it seems likely that there *will be* bitcoin in the reserves. If there is crypto in there too, meh, whatever. 💁🏻‍♂️

Same goes for the federal income tax, by the way. The Revenue Act of 1913 was passed by Congress and part of it established a one percent tax on income above $3k per year. Of course that wasn't adjusted for inflation so this morning I looked up what $3k in 1913 is in today's dollars. $95k. A 3000% decrease in purchasing power in 100 years. Federal income tax is basically zero for some of the lowest income brackets, but still, inflation just made everyone subject to what was once only applied to a specific income bracket.
Will be interesting to see if there is enough support in congress to eliminate the income tax as Trump has proposed.

Technically abloshing the IRS, Fed, and cap gains on BTC all require congressional approval. The admin may provide enough incentive or pressure for congress to approve one or all of these things but at the moment it seems like an uphill battle. Perhaps establishing an ERS will help provide enough political cover for going after the IRS or cap gains.

An EO signed yesterday that isn't getting as much attention:
Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture
https://archive.is/meaFc
Architectural movements inevitably flow from worldview, reflecting the zeitgeist. Brutalism, for example, is inherently socialistic. Architecture also acts as a way of *further shaping* the beliefs of a peoples. In other words, what we make flows from how we see the world and how we continue to see the world flows from what we make.
This EO is likely a response to the federal and civic buildings that emerged during and after the world wars. By this time, modernism—a result of the industrial revolution—had already gained popularity as an artistic, architectural, and cultural movement. After the wars, Modernism led to the New International Style, a more universalist style of architecture. Brutalism rose as a reaction. Then post-modernism followed. Each of these movements are distinct and deserve their own studied attention, but each of them have played large roles in shaping 20th century civic architecture in the United States and abroad.
The post-war consensus is globalist in its orientation, and, in many ways, so is the architecture that it produces. Universal man is exalted above a man's particular people, place, and culture. In this sense, much of the architecture from the last century can be described as anti-local, giving one a sense that they are nowhere in particular because there is nothing of the local culture reflected in its buildings. So it is understandable that many average people hate 20th century architecture, even if they don't always know the deepest reasons why.
As it concerns this EO, one can understandably ask "who decides what is beautiful?" and it is a good question. I'm not yet certain of who would judge and what standards would be used in that judgement. However, the past century has shown that there are architectural styles that are *more human* and those that are *less human* as it concerns what is communicated both about people and about the the world God made.
Beauty is not merely subjective. Neither is it a civilizational byproduct but a civilizational driver. It is essential for human life and flourishing. That is, we are made for beauty. I hope what results from this EO is civic architecture that honors people and place, that beautifies cities, and that glorifies creation's God.

I've not verified this but I have heard that children through teens can handle cold temps in ways that adults cannot. Something changes physiologically post-puberty, maybe. Someone can fact check me on this.
Anecdote: During winters in my early high school years I would often wear shorts and flip flops to school. I waited outside my house for the bus on numerous occassions, and our neighbors thought my parents were nuts for letting me do that. It was cold, but not awful.
I would struggle more now if I tried that.

If what you mean is that you are looking to buy bitcoin, I recommend a bitcoin-only source.
There are KYC (know your customer) exchanges or platforms like river.com or Strike that are great.
Otherwise, you can find ways to buy it more anonymously by using P2P exchanges like Robosats or finding ways to buy in person.
Lastly, you can sell goods/services for BTC.
