I don't understand the reason for your sarcasm. In your original reply, were you not asking for an anonymous way to obtain Bitcoin, so that one could then use it to buy books?

My reply described how it's easily possible to convert USDT to fiat because I assumed it was obvious that the process is similar in both directions and can be done for any common form of crypto, including Bitcoin.

What do you mean? As I mentioned, the reverse is just as easy.

You give then cash, they give you USDT or BTC. Now you can buy all the ebooks you want with anonymous crypto.

There are plenty of anonymous (even decentralized) P2P market places for trading crypto for cash, bank transfers, or other agreed upon forms of payment.

I have over 2x my fiat savings in crypto and none of it could easily be traced to my real identity.

Just last week I walked into a random "crypto exchange service" in the city I was visiting and sold them USDT and walked out with $10k in cash. No kyc. They didn't even ask my name. They were buying and selling for only 0.5% commission.

It's really not. Growing up, I had plenty of classmates who spent more than that on superficial car modifications while working a minimum wage job and whose family was on food stamps.

It's not ridiculous. You need to consider the numbers involved. If one extra person breaks his leg because he didn't look and see the quiet car before crossing the street, that's a fair trade off for reducing the noise pollution for a million people.

Sure, but to achieve equal remineralization, you'll likely end up ingesting orders of magnitude more fluoride when delivered via drinking water vs toothpaste.

Do you review what you've written at a later date or is the value gained just in the initial writing?

What I don't understand is how they keep most freelancers on the platform after finding a client.

I've only used it once, but after having a call with the client, I felt comfortable accepting payment directly in crypto and not paying their fees.

Except you can no longer back up your private key, so you must trust a 3rd party to restore access when you lose the only allowed copy.

So can I set up a self-hosted solution?

I don't want to trust a 3rd party to be able to restore access to accounts after losing my phone. I've lost several Google and Yandex accounts that way. Despite knowing the passwords, they refused to let me log in again after loosing my phone.

I could be wrong, but I believe they were using a modified chroot with some preload libraries to intercept missing kernel calls.

You just listed a bunch scary sounding financial buzz words, but I doubt that a thorough analysis of them would support your conclusion.

In fact, many have the opposite effect and result in more efficient price discovery. Take naked shorting for example. Without shorting, it would be far more difficult for an equity research firm to be incentivized to look into fraudulent stocks, as was widespread with Chinese companies a few years ago. Without their efforts, stock prices would have remained inflated for longer.

Is there anything stopping it from migrating down to the southern coast of Australia?

Is it important to you that your speech is tied to your physical identity?

Now that most communication takes place online, it seems the obvious solution is to say anything controversial via pseudonyms. As long as you don't get careless about protecting your true identity, that seems like something you can do just about anywhere.

I imagine they're trying to prevent the reverse, purchasing a cheap subscription in a developing country to use when you actually live in a more expensive country.
