@Crypto_Mags Tether can freeze stablecoins AND online custodians (eg Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) can freeze Bitcoin (or any other coin) because THEY hold the private keys and often comply to government requests.

If you have a regular meeting cadence with a good group of bitcoiners attending, it’s likely due to one or two volunteers who care enough to make it happen.
That awesome group of ₿ers formed because they organized it.
@FreedomofPress Commercial VPN alternatives:
- Tor Browser
- VPS + your own VPN server installed
- VPS + Apache Guacamole
- VPS + Kasm Workspaces
- VPS + Ravada
Anywhere outside of Utah that you can get a virtual private server, you can install your own VPN or virtual desktop server.
The U.S. FCC is proposing a new "Know Your Customer" rule that would require telecom companies to obtain a government ID before activating a customer's account. Do you think this will be an effective way to combat spam calls, or is this just another unnecessary invasion of privacy?
@TechX1320@MyStartMail You may easily buy a mobile eSIM (data and/or phone number) anonymously using bitcoin from a variety of carriers. Or you may follow the crowd by willingly giving up basic privacy and freedoms.

₿ + 🍔 = 🤔
