People are confusing #bitcoin protocol level promises (still very much intact) with social guardrails.

Unpopular question with a long ungrammatical premise.

I'm becoming every day more cynical and disillusioned about #Bitcoin© (IMHO as a sociopolitical revolution, as a freedom technology and as a real moral alternative to our disgusting monetary system it's being failing hard since Saylor's digital gold/capital narrative bullshit has won badly, the Empire has almost completely bought/blackmailed/infiltrated the devs/pools/stardom/etc. - i.e. captured the ecosystem - and KYC is everywhere.. Those good ol' cypherpunk times seems to me very much behind us)

Thus I'm reframing my views about Bitcoin as a nice and "promising" speculative asset to hold among many others to diversify one's portfolio. And as a nice financial-technological phenomenona to study and follow carefully as an entomologist would do..

Therefore I have two very practical (risk management oriented) questions to ask which no one will probably answer here.

1) how practically can somene balance their bets when the #Blake2b fork will come to life?

2) where the hell one can swap sats for #XMR in a "safe" & no KYC way?
