I finally did it! After >20 years on MacOS last year I fully switched to Linux, today I also finally ditched my iPhone for a Pixel with GrapheneOS. The hardest thing was migrating data... iMessage has group chats, Android does not and your messages will end up in a bit of a mess. I'd love to live without Whatsapp, but unfortunately everybody around me is using it and also group chats of free time activity for my children are managed on Whatsapp. If you migrate from iOS to GrapheneOS, make sure to migrate your WA data first to stock Android, since there is no easy way to migrate Whatsapp directly from iOS to GrapheneOS. The only Google app I use is the camera, since it's much better than Graphene's standard camera app, but it works perfectly without Google services thanks to Gcam. I have two map apps, since I'm not yet sure which one is better for navigation. Any app recommendations?

I am happy with @GrapheneOS and have replaced it in my whole family, minor kids included. However, I miss the iOS location sharing. Tried even proprietary apps like @Findmykids but they are useless, notifying me several hours late of my kid being at home Is there a good solution?

Trump is a cancer like most other US presidents before. He pardoned Stephen Buyer, who has been indicted for insider trading, but ignores people who have built freedom software like @rstormsf or @keonne. Trump's family made a fortune from insider trading before his decisions.

It seems @PirateChain had a lot of luck not activating Orchard on mainnet yet. It has been live on testnet, and I assume it's also vulnerable like in @Zcash. piratechain.com/blog/pirate-…

Saylor's house of cards is starting to collapse, now $7 or 7% of volatility/loss, just because he sold a tiny piece of Strategy's Bitcoin holdings. So those Bitcoins can only remain on the balance sheet, they can never make it to fiat without crashing Bitcoin's price.

Unfortunately Monero hasn't depegged from Bitcoin after all delistings and being marked as criminal. Why? What else Monero does need to do to decouple from the Wall Street? It seems, we need transparent tx. /s

Just use Monero. No judge to freeze your money, no CEO to tag you as a criminal to track you. Just private electronic cash.

The cycle seems to be completing. zcash:native tradingview.com/symbols/ZECU…

Trump is really doing a great job on crypto. Several crypto privacy tech devs imprisoned, but: $BTC -35%, solana:6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN -95%, $MELANIA -99%, $WLFI -80% while gold 35%. Sure, his family & buddies made their cut.

Tell me you are an idiot without telling me. Zcash shielded transactions use elliptic curve crypto and every single tx is publicly visible on the blockchain. Same risk like in Bitcoin or Monero. Probably Barry's last pump before dumping on retail again like late 2025.

Monero fixed this already 12 years ago. Trump and his army of non-competent people can go home.

educated > informed > idiot. In fact, most of shielded tx in Zcash can be easily traced with time attacks and/or same amount in and out to transparent within a short timeframe. Even when you split it up, it's still pretty obvious since literally nobody uses it. So Monero.

Idiots gonna fall for this. But by the way, "I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible." Tell me you are an idiot without telling me you are an idiot. Can't tag Zooko, since he blocked me years ago.

One of the largest Bitcoin influencers in Germany @blocktrainer promoted a useless token after @saylor mentioned it. Well, this didn't age well... Only a matter of time before $MSTR collapses, too. Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. Michael Saylor has experience in this.

I'm pretty sure, they'll comply to age verification laws, soon. Shielded age verification!

Idiotic headline, but it seems they have a deep marketing budget put to push this pump. Be sure they will dump on top again, like they did last November, January, and most likely again now.

🎙 "The more you give government power, the more they're gonna abuse it." Watching Bitcoiners line up to applaud politicians at the Bitcoin Conference was surreal. The whole point of Bitcoin was sovereignty. An exit. Money the state couldn't touch. Now the loudest voices in the space are LOBBYING the regulators they used to mock for permission to operate.

Bitcoin → Monero And you are settled with your financial privacy. Without opt-ins, opt-outs, swaps, settlements, watchtowers and all the headache.
