I'm going to go ahead and throw myself under the bus here as an example of bad opsec. I revealed that I have not yet had coffee, which provides a decent amount of information about what part of the world I live in. I'm not worried about it, just using it as an example of how innocuous information posted online can give away info about you accidentally.

I'm just a pleb with an interest in digital privacy so my solutions may be flawed or inadequate (if so I'd love feedback from someone more knowledgeable).
Firstly, run open source software as much as possible. Including your operating systems. Linux for your desktop, GrapheneOS on your phone. Or better still get a dumbphone.
Second, try to convince the people you communicate with to use encrypted chat like Signal instead of SMS. Don't use social media (other than nostr, and even then stay anon if you want privacy).
Use a VPN. I use Mullvad. It allows me to pay for it KYC free with the lightning network.
Don't use any services from large tech companies. Gmail, iTunes, Google search, Spotify, Amazon, etc. They're all spying on you.
Use cash instead of a credit card.
Buy your bitcoin non-kyc
The more 'low tech' your car is, the better. Don't connect it to the internet. Don't connect it to your phone (aux cable is OK I think).
If you upload photos, use a program like Scrambled Exif to remove metadata. Be careful exposing anything from your real life online, it's amazing how much can be inferred from seemingly insignificant information.
Don't leave Bluetooth or location on on your phone.
Use a service like SimpleLogin to create dummy emails for signing up for things. Use a burner phone or temporary SMS service for when a service requires a phone number.
Get a PO box.
Privacy is a spectrum. The further you move towards ultimate privacy the less convenient your life is. This is by design. You have to find your personal sweet spot.
Hopefully others will chime in with additional tips, these are the best my pre-caffeinated brain could come up with.

Someone will probably chime in with a more thorough/better answer but my impression is that:
Supporters want drivechains implemented to increase Bitcoin's flexibility and expressivity. With drive chains/BIP300 we would be able to 'peg out' and exchange bitcoin for a different token that enables things that would normally only be possible with alt coins.
Opposers believe that implementing drive chains could cause unforseen consequences (similar to Taproot 'enabling' ordinals and inscriptions). There is also concern about the incentives of mining in a drive chain world, where a majority of hash rate colluding could actually steal funds from drive chains, unlike now where a majority of hash rate colluding mostly enables censorship and maybe some shallow reorganization of the chain.
Like I said, someone else will probably give a better answer. For what it's worth (very little), I'm in the opposition camp. It's not worth the unknown risks just to enable shitcoinery on BTC. Alt coins have failed to impress me with their additional flexibility and functionality compared to Bitcoin. The only good things drive chains could enable IMO are increased scaling and privacy, both of which I believe can be achieved in the future without BIP300 and drive chains

As I've repeated, I buy my BTC non-kyc.

And like I told you, I buy all my bitcoin non-kyc. My bank would have serious questions if I tried to send $10 million dollars to a rando with no memo though. You still haven't proposed a solution to this problem, so I suspect you're just gatekeeping to try to present yourself as a true Scottsman

2023-09-03 18:51:47 CEST

- reply

How so? If the liquidity doesn't exist and cannot exist due to the limitations of the fiat system, then it does indeed present a problem for people wanting to buy large amounts of non-kyc'd bitcoin.

2023-09-03 18:45:47 CEST

- reply

I did know that, and I suspect that most people you would consider "real bitcoiners" were probably against bitcoin or at least skeptical of it when they first encountered it.
For Bitcoin to fulfill its potential, rich people will need to get involved. As someone who exclusively buys non-kyc I can't imagine trying to buy millions of dollars worth without kyc. The liquidity isn't there and the traditional system's infrastructure is too limiting.

It's a r/buttcoin mantra (in case you're unaware, buttcoin is a Reddit community centered around hating bitcoin and other cryptos... I actually think they make good points about crypto in general but I digress). They have observed that when bitcoin's price drops a lot of tether is minted. They attribute the printing of tether to an attempt to stabilize bitcoin's price with 'money printed out of thin air'.
