Now that I managed to run Bitcoin Core+LND+Zap wallet, the only thing left to do is to run TOR LN.
With all the government BS it is time to exchange your coins outside exchanges and to also start encrypting all of your files and wallet backups.
You better start deleting or disposing wallets that may have been used in exchanges.
Example if you use Windows encrypting tools and the key was save on Microsoft account you better delete that machine and start a new fresh install, or better move to Linux and encrypted hard drive.
After that to save keys and seeds you need to encrypt those storage devices and if you used a 12 or 24 seed on word you need to encrypt it, after that add it to a rar encrypted folder. So that the key will be protected by 3 passwords. One the device itself, 2 the folder (wat, or a doc file, and 3 the file itself.
If you can find a storage device with native encryption that will be better.
Second put most of your coins in a hardware wallet.
If you want to go mobile use application like eclair mobile or Bitcoin lightning so that you can use both ln and chain in your mobile.
No custodian wallets from now on.
If you want to help the LN grow do it but know the risk the government is coming for your crypto.
If you bought btc on exchange sell it for an altcoin on exchange and send it to a swap site back to Bitcoin. Use no kyc exchanges in the meantime but start thinking how you are going to hide what you have.
Is not that you don't want to paid taxes it is just that eventually once they realize they can't stop it they will try to seize it.
Don't do anything ilegal, moving your money around is not ilegal it is your right because it is your money you can do whatever and whenever you want with it.
The first cry of war has been sung.
But Bitcoin doesn't fired bullets.
So, long live Bitcoin and all decentralized altcoins for that matter. The government wants all money it can't print gone.
Miners are the weak point, they run in the real world use wearhouses and a lot of electricity, and they can get a government visit to seize their equipment.
If you have an older miner you better save it because if government goes after miners only normal households will run the miners and not so many machines otherwise the gov will know you are mining Bitcoin. Solar will be a good way to hide your electricity footprint. But the days of centralized mining could be over.
Also the core devs need to implement a emergency difficulty adjustment, in case large miners and pool go offline.
Pools will also be seized.
The price will also drop at first, once tge govt think it killed it because the price is lower and not much people is using it they will start printing money like never before, but at that point once Venezuela current situation comes to America or any 20g country that's when people will realize why govt was trying to kill Bitcoin and they will buy it even if it is ilegal.
Govt want to stop Bitcoin not because they fear it, it is just because with Bitcoin they can't print money as much as they want, they have the goose but the golden eggs are worthless.
In other words without a single bullet or command Bitcoin can say to the govt you will not print money and tax people with inflation to give it to your bank masters. Whatever agreement the banks and the government sign in the past now that becomes invalid. And if they devalue your money you will just move to btc. The war has just started but this world will be the best because they will be defeated without a single bullet from Bitcoin.
Save your sats. Encryption of files and traffic will be the way to go.
Proof of work will also be encrypted by going solar and small scale. Otherwise your wearhouses are just screaming I am here confiscate me my owner didn't know any better.
Pools can be seized as well unless they run as well on Tor which I don't know how secured that is.
