00:01:11 Q08: How often do you think normal people worry about the shape of things to come? Unsustainable retirement schemes, inflating currencies, dematerialized stock certificate, being a beneficial owner instead of custodian of a certificate, EU laws that are instituting a savings union to issue new loans, lack of political and fiscal spine? 00:03:16 Q09: Do what extent do you think normie people are in the weeds about cryptocurrency, BTC ponzi, XMR escape hatch and so on? How many in a 100 do you think will ever 'wake up' to all this? 00:06:16 Q10: Do you know any books about not appearing as a non-normie when one interactions with normies?, about keeping one's thoughts to oneself and stop trying to save a ho everytime some microsoft using dumbo screws something up? I just want me and my family to be left alone to ourself, growing crops, using xmr, homeschooling, ea [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/heXx4vEKUWVEYmtz ] 00:07:13 TIA for your responses. 00:24:23 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q01: Lets say my friend bot BTC on Binance like 5 years ago with KYC and exchanged it for XMR like a day ago without KYC now, he learnt that the chain of custody of BTC is completely traceable so say, 5 years from now, the counterparty to my friend's BTC-XMR exchange would use that BTC to b [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/uYS04_EKVlBocm5x ] 00:24:23 it might happen but unless your friend admits to a crime he has not committed it's hard to prove and press charges assuming you have some form of rule of law. It depends where you live and also their capabilities. In your friends specific case he could proof that he bought xmr with that btc and it was no longer his by the tim [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/uYS04_EKVlBocm5x ] 00:26:50 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q02: Lets say we all use swedish crown for our day to day transactions but it is loosing value via inflation relative to USD and XAU. Now a purchasing power protecting strategy is to be using USD as a store of value and crowns as medium of exchange since USD is (fiat wise relatively) better [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/pYa94_EKR1VtdXpr ] 00:26:50 stable coin are a risk as you said it's pick your poison in this case do you trust your money to the USA and AML rules or some chinese company. You can stay in XMR if you don't want to take either risk but then you'll have to live with the volatility. 00:32:36 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q03: Lets assume that there is a digital currency Santa looking at everyone's payment habits from his secret den in Stockholm. Those who use cards/swish/eKrona are put on the Nice list and those who attempt to pay using paper cash/privacy preserving methods such as gift cards are put on Nau [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/-PvR4_EKYmRxYXdx ] 00:32:36 Yes that is already happening in one form or another in different countries once again to what extend depends where you live. If you live in a more free country you can fight it or nothing happens because they can't prove any wrong doings. In other countries you can be less luckly and prosecuted and trialed with no real evidence of wrong doing. 00:36:04 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q04: I like normies, they are normal people. But I also hate normies because, well, they are normies. Is it a good strategy to hide in plain sight and use kredit cards when in the company of such people? What do you think about going gung ho about financial privacy and preaching tho those who are plugged into the matrix? 00:36:04 depends where you live if you are in a super repressive country it can be a risk it can also be a risk in normal countries if people think you have a lot and are worth robbing 00:38:49 as long as you only get a weird look where I live noone looks at you weird for paying in cash 😅 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q05: It is quite demoralizing that I cannot buy a cup of coffee without Swish on my phone. The barmen look at me strange if I pull out a fresh swedish crown bill. How to balance not standing out and having privacy in transactions? 00:41:00 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q06: I read on FATF redfag indicators that transfers from and to a self-hosted wallet increases the likely hood of ML/TF risk. Lets say my friend had already moved a few whole coins off of an exchange to his desktop wallet. Would this cause any problems in the future? 00:41:00 Yes things like that are flagged in some countries but do not indicate a crime ofcourse laws can change in the future but usually I assume you live in sweden from your messages it should be fine I don't know the laws there though as long as he pays taxes on the traceable coins he should be fine. 00:42:36 > <@svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt> Q07: I looked at the price chart of XMR on haveno.markets from Feb 21 to Mar 21. The moving average price line is almost horizontal. Why is XMR so stupendously stable while literally every other coins is going down like a town bicycle or jumping up and down like a monkey on coke? 00:42:36 the moving average smooths out the price substantially the actual price has been pretty volatile there is another room for price talk if you want to talk about that furhter though 00:49:16 @svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt: I think they younger generations become more aware all they have to do is ask ai:What is a private crypto currency? and it'll tell them 00:52:24 @svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt: stop caring about how you appear to others and live your life, grow that corn, teach your kids, eat good. no book needed. read yourself :) 00:57:12 Thank you for the detailed responses. 00:57:12 > In your friends specific case he could proof that he bought xmr with that btc and it was no longer his by the time the crime was commited so he should be fine and nothing should happen to him. 00:57:12 Lets assume he bought it on a no-KYC exchange like those listed on trocador.

Would this create a problem in showing he actually sold the BTC for XMR?" depends what you mean with problem and your local laws usually it should not be an issue in itself I don't knwo swedish law. 01:09:01 @svensvenson:gemeinsam.jetzt: Sorry I am not aware of any books like that but I'm sure there are some. Just only talk about things to people whom it concerns and some things you just do not say at all. Keep your files encrypted.
