“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Bitcoin is at the "then they fight you" stage.

Attacks are ongoing from multiple fronts on exchanges, the mempool, devs, wallets, privacy, self-custody, etc, etc... and more are coming.

It is time to focus on resilience:

-Study self-custody, privacy, DEX, P2P, censorship resistant tech.

-Use no-KYC exchanges: RoboSats, Bisq, Hodlhodl, Peach, Localsats...

-Learn to self custody and back up cold wallets offline. Think long term.

-Promote censorship resistant public (Nostr) and private (Matrix) comms.

-Demand FOSS. It's the only way to keep companies honest. "Can't do evil" > "Don't do evil".

-Make micropayments! Surveillance is easier on a handful than on a crowd. Vires in numeris.

-Earn and spend Bitcoin! Many attacks will focus on exchanges. By participating in the Bitcoin circular economy you make them powerless.

-Keep orange pilling! Mass adoption will bring the ultimate defeat of those fightning to defend their old fiat privileges.
