With BTC addresses that I control, I can control where I disclose that they are associated with me. On Nostr I can't. Big difference.
Now on Amethyst I can not decide anything as you have decided to make the onchain possibility visible for anyone without giving me the option to opt out. 99% of people have no clue that they can send on chain zaps. Oh wait, you are promoting it which leafs to bad privacy practices. Best would be clients hide the on chain zap opportunity and only let users view if they received something or not.
Why do you promote something that is bad for the network and all its users? Just because it is possible to send on chain zaps, you wouldn't need to advertise it.

After all the discussions we had about on-chain privacy and the negative effects on the privacy of ALL users when identities are tied to a BTC address you have to put it on the front of the profile?
I want to be able to at least opt out of this!!

An email is something private that you send to someone trusting that person honors your quest for not publicly disclosing their name. Jb could have just ignored or declined via email. It’s an asshole move to doxx someone and it has nothing to do with censorship resistance just being human and respect.

Ich verstehe dich sehr gut. Ich ärgere mich seit Jahren darüber. Der Ärger bringt aber nichts. Mein Kommentar zeigt genau dieses Problem auf (soll, vielleicht kommt es nicht so rüber). Wir können nichts dagegen tun, dass Technologie für miese Zwecke verwendet wird. Das Internet war am Anfang auch verpönt, der Großteil der Nutzung ist Porno, immer noch.
Die Regulierung kommt so oder so. Mit oder ohne Bukele oder Iran. Weil das finanz-industrielle System und der Staat die Trennung von Geld und Staat nicht einfach so hinnehmen wird.
Und irgendwann (das meine ich mit playbook) wird Bitcoin hoffentlich genauso Mainstream sein (als Alternatives Geld) wie das Internet.

In no way I am applauding regimes. Don’t misinterpret what I wrote because it confirms your narrative. I have been doing Bitcoin education for human rights activists and civil society for several years. So don’t turn around my words.

2026-05-18 18:15:15 CEST

Bitcoin is for anyone.
It’s use by the Iranian government proves it’s censorship resistance and decentralization. Properties that are useful for individuals, civil society and resistance movements but can also be used by authoritarians and financial speculators. Same with AI, the internet and any other technology.
It’s still fascinating to me how Bitcoin‘s playbook comes to life. A lot of people will fight it - it’s Bitcoin against a huge system - and it might take another decade or more until it is accepted as the neutral alternative technology that it is.

Address reuse is not only bad for the privacy of the whole network but also reused addresses will be an easy target for (in case they come) quantum computers as the public key has been exposed in a previous transaction.

Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security.

I set up Cowork to build .md files for my blog articles. I wanted it to create the formatting and structure, propose title and meta description. I trained it on 15 of my published articles - it immediately created 5 publishing ready long form articles in 5 min.
When I write myself I need 3 days or more for a long form article. It’s convenient to use AI, but I want to hear from a human, not a machine that is puzzling things together. That’s why I write myself and then ask LLMs for logical failings and to enhance my English.
