Big movement forward in general, however, the BIG question is how do you deal with fiat in “banks”? The only downside I see is being a seller and receiving “dirty fiat”. And this happened to various people I know (many times with Revolut) -> flags, delays, explanations, investigations, even freeze.
I got the benefit of zero trust, privacy, on one side. On the other “fiat side” nothing changes and still has same downsides (when receiving fiat -> counterparty risk). To solve the fiat “freezing/investigation” downside there’s honestly just one option (it costs POW - time, effort, physical location, etc..) and that is physical P2P via @nprofile…sy44 . With digital fiat involved it is just a partial solution and it is important to count with “digital fiat” drawbacks.

How US Special Forces Infiltrated Venezuela?
The CIA tracked his 'Pattern of Life', what he ate, what he wore, and exactly where he slept.
They didn't just guess; they knew. Back in the US, Delta Force built an exact replica of his safe house, rehearsing the raid until they could do it blindfolded.
And the blowtorches? Those were for the panic room. Intelligence knew Maduro slept behind bank-vault-style steel doors. The team brought heavy-duty thermal cutters to burn him out.
But in the end, speed was their weapon. Operators breached the room so fast, they caught him before he could even lock the door.

A couple of thoughts on Venezuela 🇻🇪, in no particular order and for no specific reason.
- Well-prepared and rehearsed multi-agency assault.
- Signal to Russia and China in the form of a “military show of force and intelligence operation.”
- Bukele likely played his part by exchanging roughly 250 Tren de Aragua cartel members for 10 imprisoned US citizens, removing potential US hostage blackmail leverage. This dates back to July 2025 as preparatory steps for successful execution.
- Maduro was offered an exit (and safe haven) but acted cocky, with no contingency plan. He also overestimated the capabilities of Russian and Chinese military defense systems “sold” to Venezuela compared to available US capabilities.
- Maduro underestimated intelligence operators and assets in the country + probable leaks in his closest circles.
- The Cuban regime is in big trouble. Its only real ally was Venezuela, which supplied “free” oil and resources in exchange for medical and military personnel stationed there. Now the Cuban regime will face hard times without regional support, and its other allies are distant and won’t make the difference.
- Maduro’s removal from Venezuela will also affect Russia, as it will lose the ability to sell “laundered” Russian oil through this proxy. Russia still sells oil through other proxies but Venezuela was significant.

Another attack on CBIs, limiting their usability based on the country of birth.
I see it more as an attack on Citizenship by Investment (CBI) rather than a "bad luck in country of birth". If an individual qualifies for Citizenship by descent (CBD) or natz, the route remains clear.

🚨 CBIs:
1️⃣Norway set the dangerous precedens with not allowing CBI holders (from Caribbean) to enter the country while not violating Schengen rules. Absolutely crazy.
2️⃣ CBIs already have and will have more scrutiny in the future not just from EU but US too (visa bond program).
I was talking about this at the PLAN B meetup some months back.
3️⃣ CBD or naturalizations from geopoliticaly strong jurisdictions will always have higher value. CBIs are great for springboard benefits for some harder to get jurisdictions.

This article is an introduction to practical, real-world privacy and security, digital, physical, and social, without theatrics or over-engineering. Nothing here is exotic, advanced, or meant only for experts. The tools and approaches discussed are not overkill; they are a deliberate mix designed to preserve productivity while significantly improving how much of your life leaks into the open. Some of the services mentioned don’t just improve privacy, they also strengthen your overall security posture.
A key idea running through the article is that privacy and security are not the same thing. A system can be secure while offering very little privacy. Google is the textbook example: when configured correctly, it can protect your accounts quite well, yet your personal data remains the product. High security does not automatically mean high privacy. Understanding this distinction is foundational before making any meaningful changes.
Privacy is also not a binary choice. It exists on a spectrum. The more private you aim to be, the more trade-offs you’ll encounter, less convenience, more friction, and a higher need to understand what you’re doing. Total privacy quickly becomes impractical for everyday life. This article deliberately avoids that extreme. Instead, it focuses on reasonable steps that deliver clear benefits without turning daily life into a constant struggle.
The steps outlined are beginner-friendly. You don’t need deep technical knowledge, special hardware, or a radical lifestyle shift. With a small number of intentional changes and a handful of carefully chosen tools, you can dramatically reduce unnecessary data exposure, strengthen both your privacy and security. The goal is not perfection, but control, and keeping your life your own.https://api.fanfares.live/cdn/f36171b68d05573ca32e576ade2d83cef1c477c6418836f85ddf3c62692eb834.png

🇦🇷 ARGENTINA CBI NEWS 🚨
1⃣ Milei’s government has launched a global tender for one firm to design Argentina’s entire new citizenship by investment program from scratch, including investment routes, amounts, due-diligence rules, and processing times.
2⃣ The program will be capped at 5,000 CBIs in the initial phase with 4 year contract. Firm selection will be based on technical quality and economic appeal. Submission deadline is by end of January for companies that want to sign up for tender.
3⃣ This could be the world’s only CBI fully designed by the private sector and then approved by the government. Let’s watch how it evolves.
4⃣ Expectation to start CBI might be end of 2026/beginning 2027. Program should be crafted by H2/2026.
To win, a firm must prove strong technical, financial, and operational capacity, present all required documents, and meet detailed milestones.
The selected firm becomes deeply responsible: full confidentiality, liability for damages, labor obligations, adequate insurance, strictly controlled subcontracting, and all IP created goes to the State.
Payments are made in USD (or pesos for local entities) after milestone verification, and the State may even revoke the contract early if the program underperforms.
Failure to meet key milestones triggers penalties and repeated failures allow the State to terminate the contract with no compensation.

🇺🇸 Wyoming GRANITE Act!
1️⃣proposed state bill drafted by lawyer Preston Byrne to shield Wyoming residents and businesses from foreign censorship demands, such as EU's Digital Services Act notices, by allowing lawsuits with minimum $10 million damages and asset seizures against offending foreign entities.
2️⃣Authored in November 2025 as the first U.S. "foreign censorship shield" legislation, the bill challenges extraterritorial application of foreign laws by piercing sovereign immunity.
3️⃣If enacted federally under a Trump administration, it could trigger legal battles with the EU, empowering U.S. entities to resist content removal requests.
In other words, position of FUCK YOU EU 🇪🇺!

🚨 EU Age Verification Regulation
It is not Chat Control. It is another regulation where EU is trying to do mass surveillance 📹in the name of "parenting"
EU thinks that everyone must be totally stupid. Do not become "sheeple".
The EU Parliament adopted a non-legislative resolution on November 26, 2025, proposing: 👇
1. a harmonized 16-year minimum age for social media access
2. parental consent for ages 13-16
3. banning use of social media under age of 13
4. endorsing EU age verification apps tied to the digital identity wallet
What is next?
- EU commission can approve or deny or return for changes
- It is not a law yet. And it should not become a law in the sake of 450 million people.
- bottom line: it is another mechanism how to have a control over whole EU population.
How do you want to know who is teen vs. adult without ID verifying everyone?
What to do:
- if you do not like the digital authoritarianism and surveillance leading to restriction of freedom of speech, the best bet is to leave EU and do parenting in more freedom based countries.
- there will be high chances of breaches stealing digital IDs from centralized data silos.
- there is a chance to launch EU Digital identity wallet.
- Use decentralized social platforms that cannot be mandated with age/ID verification.
- Study digital privacy, learn how to be sovereign, do not be the product and hostage. Use privacy enhancing open source services. Minimize unwanted digital trace.

🚨INDIA 🇮🇳 surveillance.
EU is not the only one with surveillance ideas!
1. India mandated on November 28, 2025, that Apple and other smartphone makers pre-install the undeletable Sanchar Saathi app on new devices and push it to existing ones via updates.
2. enabling IMEI-based tracking of lost or stolen phones but facilitating broad government surveillance.
3. The app's requirement builds on a recent obligation of messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram to continuously link user accounts to their registration SIM cards using IMSI identifiers aiming to boost traceability and limit anonymous communication.

Why does it make sense to have a ₿ plan in place?
This concept is not just for a small group of insiders, but for anyone trying to find a path to greater independence, personal sovereignty and autonomy. I deliberately do not use the word "freedom" because it has many levels. Of course, with greater freedom comes greater responsibility for one's own actions, which is why I find it more apt to use the word "autonomy".
It’s a long read. But worth it. Took me many days to distill and wrap information for you in concise way.

1. Is bitcoin or stables more popular among population?
2. Is lightning or on-chain being taught to newbies as step number 1?
3. Do people self custody or rely on custodians?
4. What is the dominant lightning wallet? Or top 3 maybe?
5. Is liquid a case?
6. What about cashu?

There was not much happening in #bitcoin one year back.
After one year and 10 great bitcoin meetups, #11 on Wednesday set a new standard in a new, bigger venue. Over 150 people attended, strengthening the community foundation for future growth.
It’s all about community—amazing atmosphere, people, speakers, organizers, and making bitcoin accessible to everyone.
Thanks to everyone who is contributing with donations, hard work and expertise.
More to come! @nprofile…xwgj community is just warming up 🚀.

One senators fraction want to regulate the market. They have no clue as of now so they want to propose banning mining till the time the regulation is in place.
However we know that regulation kill free markets and innovation.
Look at the numbers the government is already getting on yearly basis from importing equipment plus VAT on energy consumption.
I hope it won't go through

Navigating #bitcoin inheritance:
1/ Bitcoin has become a significant asset, prompting the need to plan its inheritance. This thread explores two approaches: self-custody (cypherpunk way) and self-custody with third-party assistance. 💰
2/ Self-Custody - Cypherpunk Way: Start by setting up a self-custody plan. This involves owning and maintaining private keys using a physical hardware wallet. It's not connected to the internet for enhanced security. 🔒
3/ Creating a Wallet: Acquire a hardware wallet after due diligence. Back up your wallet using a Shamir secret share, a secure way to split and store your seed, minimizing the risk of a single point of failure. 🌐
4/ Passphrase Protection: Use a passphrase for an extra layer of security. It's a separate layer from the seed and PIN, providing protection even if the seed is compromised. Make it long and don't lose it. 🔐
5/ Metal Plate Solutions: Safeguard your seed on metal plates for longevity. Select secure locations to store them, minimizing risks like theft or damage. Metal solutions enhance durability, ensuring your bitcoin inheritance remains intact for years. 🚀
6/ Wrap Up: Choose an open-source hardware wallet, generate a secure seed, test your setup, create a strong passphrase, and secure your seed on metal solutions. Regularly check and update your setup. 🔄
7/ Educating Heirs: Communicate with heirs about your bitcoin holdings, even if they're not familiar with it. Provide them with essential information to ensure a smooth inheritance process. 🗣️
8/ Instructions and Access: Draft a step-by-step "treasure hunt" guide for heirs to access funds with seed shares. Keep it in a safe place with other important documents, making it easy for heirs to follow. 📜
9/ Challenges and Risks: Self-custody has security concerns - you are the only person in charge of your wealth - nobody else can help you. Full responsibility. Also requiring heirs to understand bitcoin basics. It suits those aligned with cypherpunk values.⚠️
10/ Self-Custody with Third-Party Assistance: An alternative involves third-party assistance with a focus on avoiding a single point of failure. This is not full custodianship but involves legal and tax considerations. 🤝
11/ Legal Assistance: Set up a wallet, seed, and passphrase as in self-custody cypherpunk way. However, store seed shares differently. Legal representatives or bank safe deposit boxes can hold one share and others can be in your possession. 🏛️
12/ Legal Framework: Create a testament with legal representatives outlining the post-death process. Alternatively, create a valid will yourself, ensuring your spouse knows about it. 📜
13/ Tax Considerations: Consider legal and tax implications based on your heirs' plans for the inherited bitcoin. Consult an attorney to understand specific implications in your jurisdiction. 💼
14/ Benefits and Drawbacks: While involving third parties can simplify inheritance, it may lead to disputes. Legal procedures offer tax benefits but sacrifice privacy, exposing heirs to scrutiny. ⚖️
15/ Conclusion: Inheriting Bitcoin requires careful planning. Choose between self-custody cypherpunk way or third-party involvement based on your values and priorities. Regularly reassess your setup to adapt to changing circumstances. 🔄
16/ Reminder: Avoid full custody solutions, as they carry risks and a single point of failure. Bitcoin's essence lies in self-custody and personal responsibility. Educate yourself, stay off the grid, and consider non-KYC bitcoin. 🌐
17/ Note: Get non-KYC bitcoin for more freedom in inheritance decisions. Educate heirs and ensure your setup remains valid. Remember, this information is not legal advice; research on your own what works the best for you. 📚

Self-sovereign life Ep.1
1️⃣ A decade of relentless business travel shaped my perspective on many things in life. Reflecting on transformative insights gained along the way. Let's dive into the lessons learned during this journey. 🌍
2️⃣ Global diversification seemed wise, but pitfalls emerged. The conventional system is full of taxes and debt. People fall into these traps hindering genuine living. Let's explore alternatives. 💡
3️⃣ Escape from the "rat race". It is number one priority.
4️⃣ Regain freedom to decide over things and situations when you want, how you want and where you want. 🚀
5️⃣ Put your life's puzzles together. 🧩 Make a list of priorities and start connecting your puzzles together.
6️⃣ Where can freedom and happiness be found? It varies for everyone. Here is some food for brain: 🥩

8️⃣ Step 2: Pursue fulfilling work that energizes you. 🚀
9️⃣ Step 3: Build an emergency stack (cash + Bitcoin) for freedom and calmness in challenging times. 💵
🔟 Step 4: If you don’t have Bitcoin, get some. It's a hedge against the system's uncertainties. 📈
1️⃣1️⃣ Step 5: Find your expertise, create a product/service that helps others, solving a need. 🛠️
1️⃣2️⃣ Step 6: Live in multiple jurisdictions, embracing the best from each. Ideally, have more residencies and citizenships. 🌐

Yes that is true. You can install bitcoin only firmware in previous models too. I believe that this one is different in SE plus it is limited edition, only 2013pcs available in this orange color.
