Welcome to the Thought Crime Trap House, no recording devices, snitches, or bootlickers allowed. I am Thoughtcrimeboss. Why should you listen to me? Well, I have lived outside of the "system" for more than a decade now. In all practical terms, I don't exist, and I have learned a few things along the way that I can teach you.
You don't have to go to the extremes I have, but protecting your privacy is no longer optional. Criminals are getting data on crypto holders from data leaks and targeting them with kidnappings and armed home invasions. The state is implementing an AI powered mass surveillance network on a scale never before seen in history. Digital IDs and CBDCs are spreading like wild fire and the exits are closing. If you don't opt out and build a life outside of the system soon, you might be trapped in it forever. Subscribe to get the latest news on crypto, freedom tech, and privacy alongside actionable advice to help you opt out and protect yourself.

Now that we are in a bear market, it's a good time to start building your non kyc crypto stack.
The best way to use cryptocurrency is without using any services, apps, or exchanges that require KYC and dox your wallets. This is true both for individuals attempting to opt out of the traditional financial system and regular individuals who want to use crypto without the risk of getting their skull bashed in from a five dollar wrench attack. Most blockchains are 100% open and transparent, meaning anyone can open a block explorer, type in a crypto address, and discover the balances and history of every transaction that wallet has ever made. They can go further and discover the balances and transaction history of every wallet that has interacted with the initial wallet as well. There is some protection in the pseudonymous nature of these crypto addresses, as they are just a random string of characters that don't directly announce the identity of the owner. That information has to be gathered from external data points, such as a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that verifies the identity of it's users through KYC/AML processes. This information is usually given over on a voluntary basis by the users. Most on and off ramps to crypto, meaning the ways in which crypto can be converted into fiat currency, have mandatory KYC. The problems with KYC are too numerous to go over here, but one of the biggest issues is that once you KYC, you put yourself at risk for targeted theft, phishing, and kidnapping. Data breaches happen all the time, and once your crypto address is linked to a real world identity once, there is no going back. Every transaction you ever make with that wallet or any wallets linked to it will then always be linkable back to you.
There are many advantages to never KYCing your crypto holdings, or at the very least, having compartmentalized KYC and non KYC holdings that do not ever intermingle. But how do you put cash in or get cash out if you can't use a centralized exchange and bank account to do so? This task is harder today than ever before, but it is still very doable. Then, once you get a little bit, you now have a foot in the door so to speak. You can then use that little bit to make a little bit more and slowly (or quickly) build up your non kyced stack of crypto. That's because one of the easiest methods of acquiring nonkyced crypto is with other nonkyced crypto (See "DeFi/Trading/Gambling below".)
-WARNING: When you are buying crypto P2P, especially if you do so using the decentralized exchange or atomic swap methods, there are risks to buying non fungible/transparent crypto currencies like this. You might inadvertently end up with "tainted coins" that are connected to a sanctioned entity or criminals. Even though this is unlikely, it is a risk to be aware of. The best thing is to just buy Monero because Monero is much more fungible than transparent cryptocurrencies. If you are buying a transparent crypto like Bitcoin then buy it from someone with a good reputation. Many nonkyc instant swap services or centralized exchanges do have automated checks that should in theory prevent you from getting tainted coins. Many decentralized exchanges don't.
This goes along with a very important part of opting out of the system, and that is building a network of friends and associates. The bitcoin meetup method works best if you live in or near a major city, but even if you live in a rural area, traveling to a city with a meetup once a month is worth the investment in time and gas.
1- Find the closest Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency meetup: I've only ever been to Bitcoin meetups, I'm assuming the process would be similar for a differen't coin's meetup though. Meetup.com is a good place to start looking.
WARNING: If you create a meetup.com account in order to join one of the bitcoin or crypto groups, be sure to use a VPN, an email that isn't linked to your real identity, and an alias name. Do not tell people at the meetup your real name! They expect you to use an alias, and you should.
2- Don't be a weirdo: Go and introduce yourself, don't try to sell anyone any crypto the first time you go, make some friends first. Maybe buy a little if someone is offering, but don't show up and immediately try to sell a stranger a large bag, you don't want them to think you are a scammer or something worse. Try to get invited into their group chat. Be friendly and respect people's privacy. Don't ask someone where they live, or how much Bitcoin they have. There are usually some very paranoid OG's with lot's of Bitcoin at these meetups and they are going to be guarded around strangers, especially if the strangers are asking very personal questions. They also want to spread Bitcoin though, so they will welcome you with open arms if you can just be chill and hang out.
3- Ettiquette: After you go 2 or 3 times and find out the meetup's methods and etiquette for buying and selling, then you can mention you are looking to sell some Bitcoin. Don't even try selling other cryptocurrency if it is a bitcoin only meetup. Once you get to know people you might be able to sell some people XMR, but anything other than BTC or XMR is unlikely to find buyers. If you want to sell other cryptocurrencies, just convert them into Bitcoin first. Remember, don't be posting specific details in the group chat,
Good group chat message: "Selling, DM me" Keep it short, simple, and generic. DMs should be encrypted, such as the "secret chat" in Telegram.
Bad group chat message: "I have 0.1 BTC for sale, will meet on North side" Don't tell the whole group chat exactly how much bitcoin you have for sale, it may be invite only but it's still a bad idea and bad etiquette too.
4-Vetting: Sometimes it is hard to get someone to buy from you if you don't have someone else in the group willing to vouch for you. However it is easier to buy some without a vouch, especially if you have gone to a few meetups and made some friends. So what you could do is buy $100 of Bitcoin from someone, and then you have a successful transaction under your belt in which no one got ripped off. Then later on, you can ask the person you bought from to vouch for you when you want to sell some Bitcoin. You are also going to want to ask a potential buyer if anyone else from the group will vouch for them. If not, to be safe you probably shouldn't sell to them until that changes.
5-Find a DCAer: Lot's of Bitcoiners DCA(dollar cost average) and buy a set amount of Bitcoin at preset intervals regardless of what the market is doing. If you can find someone like that who is willing to buy from you on a regular basis, then you have a guaranteed off ramp for X amount every month.
6- Safety first: Doing transactions at the meet up itself is a good idea, but if you are doing a trade in between meet ups, just make sure you meet in a public place and only carry the cash you need for the deal itself. If you are dealing with a new person, start small and build trust over multiple smaller transactions. Tell someone where you are going so that if you don't come back they know you are tied up in the back of a van.
7- Sell at spot: If you charge extra fees when selling crypto, that could be construed by the state as operating a business of selling crypto. So just sell at the spot price and sell amounts that are under $10,000 dollars.
Another great way to get or use non kyc crypto is buying and selling goods and services directly. There are tons of things you can buy directly with Bitcoin and Monero, from food to cars. For everything else, there are gift cards.
XMRBazaar is basically Craigslist for Monero. You can buy or sell any good or service that is legal in your jurisdiction. They are adding support for other cryptocurrencies as well. Make sure your seller has good reviews and/or is bonded. There is also an escrow feature that you can use with unbonded sellers without any reviews to protect yourself, if the seller supports it.
Proxy Store allows you to pay for various digital services/subscriptions with Monero or Bitcoin. This was the work around Proton used to "add" Monero payments for their VPN after a petition to do so was circulated on Twitter, because they are too scared to just offer Monero payments directly. Mullvad has been accepting Monero for years without any issues, so idk why they are so scared.
Anon Shop lets you buy things on Amazon with Monero through a proxy shopper. No amazon account needed. You can ship to your house, but it kind of defeats the purpose. Instead, ship to an amazon locker, park a block or two away, then wear a covid mask, hat, and reflectacles when picking up your order for near total anonymity. I tried this service when it first launched and it worked fine.
There are other providers not listed here, I am only listing gift card providers that I have tried personally. There are also services that allow you to sell giftcards for crypto, or you can do that on XMR Bazaar, which is one way to turn cash into non kyc crypto. However you are going to pay for the privilege.
Cakepay: I have used Cakepay for a few years for various things. For most things, they are reliable, but occasionally there are problems with the card providers but they aren't really Cakepay's fault. Don't bother with Best Buy cards. If you are buying a prepaid debit card, do it on public WiFi instead of using a VPN or it might not work. I'm not sure what exactly will get you "flagged" with Mastercard or Visa when purchasing prepaid virtual debit cards. I've heard of someone getting flagged possibly for splitting a larger transaction into 2 different cards, which they were just doing because they wanted to make sure it worked before buying the full amount. No information was given about the reason for the flagging. The first card went through fine, but when they bought the second one they got flagged by the provider and were no longer able to buy any debit cards from them. Their Monero was returned by Cakepay eventually.
Bitrefill: I've only used these guys a few times, no problems though other than sometimes they would be "sold out" of prepaid debit cards of certain denominations. Like they would have $20 ones but not $100 ones. I didn't know you could run out of stock on virtual visa cards, and I have to wonder if this was just a ploy to milk fees out of people who would be forced to buy multiple cards.
Coincards: I've used Coincards with no issues. They are slightly more expensive than Cakepay. This is because it is a Canadian company, so they have to jump through more hoops to convert their Monero to fiat and added a small fee to each purchase to cover those costs.
There are P2P DEXs out there that offer crypto to fiat, fiat to crypto, or crypto to crypto trading. People get paid through various methods such as paypal, cash app, or cash by mail. The platforms have various ways to reduce the possibility of getting scammed, such as multisig escrow systems and security deposits. This way instead of a corporation running a centralized exchange knowing you bought or sold some crypto, only one individual knows. This reduces the attack surface. If you are buying, don't put something stupid like "for bitcoin" in the cash app payment memo, just put something generic or the payment service provider will know you are buying crypto. You don't want them to know.
XMR Bazaar- You can buy and sell XMR for cash on XMRBazaar, not a whole lot of buyers and sellers yet though, but there are some.
RetoSwap- This is a fork of Haveno, which was a fork of Bisq. It is always highly recommended by the Monero community as a way to buy and sell XMR with no KYC, and is now doing more volume than Bisq is I think. You have to run a client on your computer to use it, and it supports most fiat currencies via Paypal, CashApp, SEPA/ACH transfers, cash by mail, and in person meetings. Currently supports Monero (XMR), USDT (on ETH & TRON), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC) & Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Bisq- Same idea as RetoSwap, but more focused on Bitcoin and less privacy focused.
Robosats- A P2P Bitcoin to fiat exchange that runs on TOR using the lightning network. Here is their onion site as well.
Defillama Swap- This is for crypto to crypto swaps for EVM compatible cryptocurrencies only (anything on Ethereum or any Ethereum Layer 2). It is an aggregator that finds the best price it can across multiple EVM DEXs. The reason I prefer this aggregator over others is you can set it to obscure your IP address from the DEX it connects you to. This is a smart contract DEX, it doesn't require you to find a particular seller, you just buy from a liquidity pool permissionlessly.
Jupiter- This is also a crypto to crypto DEX aggregrator, but for cryptocurrencies on Solana only. Use this instead of doing the swap directly in your Solana wallet to avoid extra fees. Phantom charges 0.85% for every swap.
Once you have some non kyc Bitcoin or Monero, you can easily swap into any other crypto you need on instant exchange sites. Or if you need to swap other cryptos into cash, you can use the instant swap service to convert them into Bitcoin to sell p2p. There are risks here because unlike a DEX, you have to send your crypto to the provider while trusting that they will deliver the crypto you want to your wallet. One of the risks is shotgun KYC, which is when the instant swap service decides you are sketchy. Then, instead of just returning your funds, they make you KYC to get your funds back. I have never personally encountered this, and it is supposedly rare, but it does happen.
Trocador.app: This is an aggregator, it checks multiple instant swap services for whatever exchange you want to do to find the best price. It also tells you how long the swap will take and how private each service is. It has a rating system that will show you the risk of a particular provider doing shotgun KYC. Oftentimes the swaps will take less time than is shown in my experience.
StealthEx (REF LINK WARNING) : I've used this one a few dozen times with no problems, then I hadn't used them in maybe a year or so when I tried using them on the latest Bitcoin crash day, Feb 5th. It took a long time to complete the exchange from XMR to some stablecoins, more than 4 hours. To be fair the day was kind of fucked, so hopefully on most days it goes quicker.
Superteam Earn: This site has a few bounties you can try to win via things like making blog posts, twitter threads, videos, or writing technical documentation for various crypto projects. I've used them and have successfully gotten paid a couple times, so they are legit. The opportunities are more sparse than they used to be though.....bear market vibes.
rentahuman.ai: A brand new website where the rapidly multiplying army of AI agents can hire a human to do any task in meatspace. They pay you in stablecoins. No word yet if the agents have put any hits out yet. Thank god someone, well something, is hiring though.
Nostr: If you make good posts on Nostr, people will tip you in small amounts of Bitcoin on the Lightning network. You have to set up a lightning wallet to receive "zaps" though. The best client is Primal, but don't use Primal's built in wallet because it asks for personal information (or you can just lie, I don't think they actually confirm the info). I am currently using a wallet called Minibits to receive zaps, but be aware Minibits is custodial. Minibits might not be the best option, it's just the first one I could get to work. If you earn any significant amount of Bitcoin, don't leave it sitting in there, take custody of it by sending it to an external non custodial wallet such as Zeus.
Farcaster: (REF LINK) Farcaster has a myriad of ways to earn or win crypto through the various miniapps or people tipping your posts. You can very easily earn a dollar or two a day in non kyc crypto by spending less than 5 minutes in this app, just from clicking buttons. I've made quite a decent chunk of change from playing around here over the last couple of years. They just got acquired though, so who knows what the future will bring, but for now it's still printing some loot.
XMRchat: If you create content, you can set up an XMRchat profile to easily recieve XMR tips in the style of youtube superchats where the tipper can include a message.
Often people forget that you can skip all the nonsense and just turn electricity and computing power into fully virgin cryptocurrency with no identity or transaction history attached to it. XMR can be mined on any CPU, and even if it doesn't turn out to be profitable per say, consider it as converting cash into crypto with electricity as the middle man. So even if your electricity cost is higher than the value of the coins you mine, consider that premium the cost of getting non kyc crypto. When you buy non kyc crypto on the street, it usually costs a bit more than kyced crypto on Coinbase or Binance. So even mining at a loss can be still worthwhile to build up your anon stack with zero risk of getting tainted coins. Also, if you have any altruistic tendencies, keep in mind that mining helps the fight for freedom.
Gupax makes Monero mining relatively easy, and solo bitcoin mining is also easier than ever, with miners like Bitaxes that now plug into regular ol' outlets. You can even buy a space heater that mines Bitcoin and uses the waste heat to heat your room. Now if you want to actually get some crypto, you are going to want to pool mine rather than solo mine. Solo mining is more like playing the lottery, but with much better odds. It could take a very long time solo mining before you actually win a block and get some crypto, if ever. The better equipment you have, the higher the odds. Pool mining is when you join forces with other miners to increase the odds of winning a block, but you then split the proceeds of that block.
You can turn your crypto into more crypto by earning yield on it in DeFi. This is not risk free of course, as you probably already know DeFi is a minefield of potential hacks, rug pulls, counterparty risk, depeggings, and liquidity issues. Now it is becoming a battlefield between blackhat hackers using AI models to find vulnerabilities to exploit and whitehats hardening smart contracts to protect them. Unless you are deliberately hunting airdrops by using newer DeFi protocols, stick to battle tested ones like Aave. This will reduce your risk but not eliminate it, as we saw recently with the OG protocol Balancer getting hacked.
-Lending: The simplest way to earn some crypto in DeFi is to deposit EVM stablecoins into a lending protocol like Aave to earn about 2 to 10% annually. You can also earn on other coins, but the yield is low at the moment. Keep in mind most stablecoins are centralized, freezable, and very trackable. They also carry depegging risk, even the largest stablecoins USDC and USDT had a major depeg as recently as 2023. So don't stick your life savings in a stablecoin and as always DYOR.
-Staking: Many kinds of cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, can be staked to earn some yield. Staking secures the Ethereum network similarly to how mining secures Bitcoin. The easiest way to do this is to swap into a liquid staking coin. There is also a privacy POS coin, called Zano, that was created by one of the creators of the crypto note protocol that Monero is based on.
-Providing Liquidity: This is a more advanced technique, do your homework before trying this especially if you doing it with uncorrelated assets because you have to factor in the risk of impermanent loss. LPing is when you deposit two different assets (or one with single side LPing) into a liquidity pool to earn a portion of the fees when traders trade between the two assets. So if you deposit wrapped bitcoin and Ethereum into a pool, every time someone swaps WBTC for ETH, you earn a small fee.
-Super advanced techniques: People have discovered all sorts of creative or degenerate ways to stick DeFi legos together to increase their yield. The more complicated the strategy is, the more risky it is, but the possibilities are endless.
-Funding Rate Arbitrage: You can do this entirely onchain now using perp dexes without needing to use KYCed CEX's. Or you can use one of the remaining non kyced CEX's as well. It's pretty simple, you just have to make sure you don't get caught in a liquidation which will erase all the yield you made and then some. If the funding rate is positive, that means longs pay shorts and it costs money to be long. If it is negative the opposite is true. You can earn some delta neutral yield off of this strategy, which means you aren't exposed to the price going up or down, you just collect the funding rate. Say you own 2 Monero, you can then short 2 Monero on Hyperliquid and collect the funding rate when the longs have to pay the shorts. By being long spot and short perps, they cancel each other out and you get to keep the funding rate. The trick is you have to avoid liquidation, so you need to have enough margin on the perp dex to cover any extreme price swings. If Monero starts mooning and you are at risk of liquidation, you just close both sides of the trade and walk away with your yield. Some assets have crazy high funding rates at times, which can give you massive yields if you avoid getting blown out. This is best done if you have a decent stack of liquidity to work with.
-Trading: You can always try to trade the market to earn some more non kyced crypto. It is incredibly difficult to trade profitably though, especially if you are using high leverage. You might have some beginners luck and think you are a trading god, but more than likely you will proceed to lose it all. It usually takes the few traders who become consistentally profitable several years of experience before they start to make money. For most people, trading is a good way to quickly lose your non kyced stack of crypto. There is a whole lot of bad information out there. The fact is, if you don't have an exact system that is back tested with a statistical edge and you are just trading off vibes, you will eventually lose money. You have to develop an actual system and stick to it. Or you can just allocate X amount to gambling and if you lose you lose. If you have a small amount of capital, it's even harder to make money trading. However, if you are trading small amounts, that can be an edge in itself because it means your orders won't move the market even on tiny nano cap shitcoins. If you want to play in the memecoin trenches, either on Base, Solana, or Binance Smart Chain, than make sure that you remember to take fucking profits. Many coins are launched every day but only a few will run, and even less will last more than a short time before going to zero. Unrealized profits are not profits at all. Many people will refuse to sell a winner because they are worried it might go up even more and they don't want to miss out on those extra gains. After all, sometimes coins will go up 100x, and if you sold at 2x, that will be very painful. But many people give back 10xes in hopes of a 100x and end up with nothing. There is an easy solution if you don't want to be a victim of FOMO, and that is to take partial profits on a runner. When you should take partials depends on the coin, it's market cap, and it's volatility. If you can't resist the temptation of potential gains and want to try trading, start with small amounts and get a feel for things before trying with significant size. If you lose money trading with $100, you probably aren't going to make money trading with 10k.
-Airdrop Hunting: This is becoming much less profitable than it was even a year ago, as many projects are choosing to ICO instead of doing airdrops, and many of the airdrops that do happen have been peanuts. My best advice is to focus your time and energy farming a few quality projects rather than trying to do it all. You can easily get bogged down in sub par airdrop campaigns that take many hours of effort and tied up capital to get $20 or some bullshit at the end of it. Also, just exploring the world of crypto naturally and trying new things will increase your onchain footprint and potentially qualify you for random airdrops. The trick is actually hearing about the airdrops and claiming them before they expire. Keep your ears open on X and in group chats and you can check premarkets on whales.market for upcoming token launches. Be careful about what you connect your wallet to though! The airdrop world is full of scams. Also many airdrops exclude the United States, so it's a good idea to use a VPN when airdrop hunting if you want to even be able to claim them. More and more airdrops are requiring full KYC to claim these days which is sad. Years ago, airdrops would just show up in your wallet if you qualified for them, that's why they were named airdrops. Now you have to often have to connect your wallet and sign a transaction within a certain period of time and sometimes they want you to verify your identity. I just skip the KYCed ones and airdrop hunting has been my biggest source of non kyc crypto over the years. If you qualify for a KYCed airdrop of significant size, but you don't want to dox your wallet, there are ways around this. Use your imagination.
-Giveaways/Contests: This is still good to do during the bear market, when dying projects are desperate for engagement on social media and do contests that like 8 people enter. Even during the bull market, you can still find really good odds of winning sometimes. Look for giveaways or contests that require very little effort and have low engagement on the annoucement tweet. I try to look for 1/500 odds or better. You can ignore 99% of giveaway posts because they are fake and are doing two things, farming engagement and farming addresses to sell to scammers. A fake giveaway will be like "comment your Ethereum address to win 4 ETH" with no obvious marketing reason behind it by a random account. People comment their addresses, and the scammers link addresses with handles, check the balances, and use your balances to target you for scam airdrops or phishing attempts.
Instead look for legitimate projects, wallets, founders, etc who are doing realistic give aways or contests to promote their project or wallet. @vikrantnyc the cake wallet guy does Monero giveaways all the time for example. Sometimes you will see POW contests, like writing a twitter thread, best meme contests, or logo designs. If you find a legitimate giveaway or contest to enter, make a seperate wallet just for giveaways and contests.
There are probably more ways to earn non kyc crypto that I haven't thought of, such as catfishing lonely crypto developers. Be creative and you can start building your stack with no connections to your real world identity. This kind of wealth, outside of the system, is incredibly valuable. It should be a priority for you if you want to opt the fuck out.
And now for just some of the crazy shit that has gone down since the last issue.
The US Government is so ineffective they can't even keep track of the crypto they seize and some kid stole 40 million dollars worth of government crypto. Then other kids made fun of the kid for being poor until he decided to share his wallet just to prove them wrong. Someone immediately sent it to ZachXBT and now he is highly likely to be grounded for the rest of his life.
The Epstein files dump spared noone, as corruption and evil have been exposed across the entire ruling class. Unfortunately Bitcoin was also a victim of sorts of the latest release of 3 million files. Turns out Epstein may have had some influence on Bitcoin development, it's not really clear at this point. He was definitely involved in the investing side of things, whether or not that translated to influence over it's development is up for debate.
Meanwhile, Monero devs are not in the Epstein files.
Here is a podcast with a good overview of the files in terms of Bitcoin.
If you want to check out the Epstein files for yourself, be sure to take measures to protect yourself. You can try accessing them through TOR, I don't know if it will work or not but it's worth a shot. More about the files in the politics section.
Monero has been on a wild ride since the last issue. After I said Monero had the best looking chart in all of crypto, it proceeded to break ATHs and rocketed up to $800. Then ZachXBT ruined the party by claiming the price rise had been possibly related to a hacker laundering funds. The party got ruined even further when Bitcoin fell off a fucking cliff. However Monero has continued to hold up better than most altcoins and is currently chilling in the 300's.
The Bitcoin crash on 2/5 was epic, it was one of the worst days in Bitcoin's history. That whole week I felt like I was adding collateral to my Aave loans every 15 minutes, digging coins out of digital couch cushions to try to avoid liquidation. I came incredibly close to losing most of my wrapped Bitcoin. If Bitcoin had gone down another few hundred dollars I would of been so fucked. I'm still fucked just not AS fucked as I would of been if I had been forced into selling at the bottom.
Lots of potential catalysts for this crash, including a possible Hong Kong based fund blowing up combined with the markets not liking the hawkish Fed chairman nomination. Don't forget a healthy serving of Quantum FUD that got so bad our least favorite Bitcoiner, Micheal Saylor did a 180 from dismissing Quantum as FUD to forming some kind of task force to address it. Mix all that with some Epstein files and you end up with a massive shit sandwich.
It seems like X has been doing it's best to suppress Monero adoption, not only did they refuse to allow Doug Thuman to advertise the Monerotopia 2026 Conference (February 12-15 in Mexico City, and it will be broadcasted online for free this year as well), but they also banned the XMR Bazaar twitter account for breaking the unwritten rule of sharing too many external links. In response, the community has started a new group for sharing listings,
For some reason the Paragraph editor won't let me delete this duplicate tweet below about the IBIT volume....now that it's a bear market and Paragraph probably has 0 funding left, I probably need to migrate my newsletter. This isn't the only bug I've been encountering with this editor, but it's always been a little buggy. Maybe they should of fixed the editor instead of launching writer coins that noone will buy. I can't do paid subscriptions but I can launch a creator coin? Or if you want to get even more retarded I can launch a coin for the post itself, in case you want to invest in Issue #6 like it is bringing in revenue or something.
A reminder that storing money in USDT or USDC is almost the same as storing it in a bank account.
The Monero GUI desktop wallet has released a new version. When you update you should also update your node's ban list. Many of the spy nodes have changed their IP addresses, so the old list is no longer effective. These spy nodes try to harvest as much data about transactions as they can for bad actors like Chainalysis.
Monero is becoming more important as currently it is the only viable alternative for cash, which is slowly being phased out.
I do have to give some props to Apple, the FBI was unable to get into a Washington Post reporter's iphone because it had lockdown mode enabled. However, they were able to access her laptop because she had touch id enabled. A good reminder why biometric security isn't security at all, all someone has to do is grab your hand and stick it on the print reader.
Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to be considerably less based than Apple, and will just hand over your Bitlocker encryption keys to the FBI if they ask nicely.
Thanks to a recent hack of a company called Gravy Analytics, we now a have a list of thousands of apps being used to track users without their knowledge. Even the app developers of the apps being used may not be aware of this. Here is a direct link to the list of apps. This is a good example of why you should use open source apps that don't even participate in these RTB advertising markets that are being co-opted to harvest data.
"Some of the world’s most popular apps are likely being co-opted by rogue members of the advertising industry to harvest sensitive location data on a massive scale, with that data ending up with a location data company whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US law enforcement.
The thousands of apps, included in hacked files from location data company Gravy Analytics, include everything from games like Candy Crush and dating apps like Tinder to pregnancy tracking and religious prayer apps across both Android and iOS. Because much of the collection is occurring through the advertising ecosystem—not code developed by the app creators themselves—this data collection is likely happening without users’ or even app developers’ knowledge.
“For the first time publicly, we seem to have proof that one of the largest data brokers selling to both commercial and government clients appears to be acquiring their data from the online advertising ‘bid stream,’” rather than code embedded into the apps themselves, Zach Edwards, senior threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Silent Push and who has followed the location data industry closely, tells 404 Media after reviewing some of the data."
Some based individual has launched a website, http://haveibeenflocked.com/, that let's you check to see if your license plate number has been searched for by law enforcement using Flock's surveillance tools. There are millions of records searchable on the website right now.
The cops are freaking out, Flock is freaking out. It's great. Black market entrepreneurs across the country have just been given a free heads up that they are being watched, hopefully they use this information to stay out of prison. They are saying this could of fucked up a bunch of active surveillance ops, and most "surveillance" ops are just pigs trying to bust people for victimless crimes. I mean how many times do you hear about cops following around a potential burgler or rapist to prevent them from stealing or raping. Not very often, because they spend all their resources watching drug dealers instead. Thanks to civil asset forfeiture laws creating perverse incentives for law enforcement, they will want to focus more on drugs than actual crime, because it's easier for them to score some cash, cars, houses, boats, etc and help pad out that pension fund.
If you are wondering how they acquired this information, it happened when Flock made a massive redaction error.
"A handful of police departments that use Flock have unwittingly leaked details of millions of surveillance targets and a large number of active police investigations around the country because they have failed to redact license plates information in public records releases. Flock responded to this revelation by threatening a site that exposed it and by limiting the information the public can get via public records requests. "
LOL
Age Verification is spreading like a virus, since the last issue Discord has announced they are launching it, and Greece, Spain, and Austria are all implementing social media bans for minors that will be enforced through age verification.
RIP Discord....I refuse to submit a face scan to a closed source project with a history of leaking user data. I shouldn't have to dox myself to use your stupid app. If I have to I will buy a age verified account from a third world country and use that. This kind of preempitive compliance that we are starting to see from social media companies is really making me angry. Oh but you can still use the platform, just in "teen" mode, so it's not big deal right? Wrong! They always just take a little bit of your freedom away at a time, not enough that you freak out. It's framed as just a minor inconvenience to "protect the children", and don't you want to protect the children? What the fuck ever, I grew up with free and open access to anything on the internet as a "child" and I turned out just fine (with only a few mental issues). If you are a parent and don't want your kid getting on discord, maybe....just don't let your kid get on discord. WHOAAA....ground breaking, I know. You probably own the router in the house, (unless you rent one from your ISP, don't do that!) so just monitor your kid's internet traffic, and if they connect to discord, make them pick a stick out and beat the living fuck out of them. They probably won't get on discord anymore. That's how we used to keep kids off of discord back in the 1930s when men were men and women were for making babies. We don't need age verification as long as we still have trees (if we have no trees, metal bats also work, just avoid the head area).
Just kidding please don't beat your children. I can make offensive jokes like that because no one reads this newsletter (If you read this part, let me know in the comments!). Here is a tool on Github that will possibly get around Discord's age verification. I have not tested it DYOR.
OpenAI is also doing age verification now.
Washington State wants to spy on your 3D printer so you don't make anything cool.
When ICE isn't shooting people and kidnapping toddlers, they are spying on us to find new people to shoot and or kidnap. Check out this new zine about all the different ways they are conducting surveillance. (PDF file)
At least there are some people fighting against ICE's use of facial recognition
Illegal immigration is a great excuse for putting the AI control grid into place....test it on immigrants, than deploy it against everyone.
Bitcoin wasn't the only thing to get hit by the Epstein files release. The damage has been far and wide. We live in a society ruled by pedophiles and those who are protecting pedophiles. Rich and powerful and traffic underage girls? No problem. Not rich and sell some drugs less harmful than alcohol? Go straight to prison for a few decades. If you still haven't realize the state is a purely evil organization, you are burying your head in the sand. Oh and not that I am surprised, but Ron Paul came out of this clean, he was not liked by these pedo fucks.
Oh and Epstein is either not dead or was murdered. We don't know which yet...but we do know the FBI helped cover it up. Props to adamscochran on Twitter who analyzed every second of the security video last year and determined there was a cover up well before these files were released.
I think the Epstein scandal will go down in history as the biggest political scandal of all time and the death blow that destroyed any remaining faith Americans had in their Government. The ruling class is corrupt to the core and the entire system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up with voluntary systems. If this isn't obvious to you at this point, you have your head buried in the sand.
We also had some interesting news from one of my least favorite insitutions, the Federal Reserve. First, in mid January, Powell puts out a video when Trump threatens him with legal action over some expensive renovations at his office. Why exactly did the Fed need to spend any money on renovations anyways? Don't they know you can interfere in free markets, enrich the ruling class at the expense of the working class, and fund endless wars remotely now? They don't need a fancy building to devalue the dollar.
This man oversaw the largest expansion in the supply of US dollars in history, a Covid era money printing bonanza that was exponentially larger than any prior ones. The inflation we saw post Covid was a direct result of this.
Lots of American people would love a home renovation, or hell to even own a home at all, but they can't afford it. Everything costs too much now thanks to years of money printing by the Fed. I have no sympathy for central bankers.
Later on in the month, Trump nominates Kevin Warsh as Powell's replacement. Warsh is considered Hawkish by some and this was a potential catalyst in the epic crash in gold and silver this month when an insane amount of wealth was destroyed in a couple of hours as 7 trillion dollars was erased from precious metals. Warsh is also a guest star in the never ending shit show that is the Epstein files.
When my boy Massie ain't busy bringing down huge parts of the corrupt ruling class by forcing the release of the Epstein files, he is also trying to keep creepy kill switches out of our cars. The feds want to put a kill switch in all new cars...if your car doesn't like how you are driving it just shuts down...I have to wonder if such a kill switch will have a back door for Law enforcement to shut down your car whenever they feel like it. The way things are trending, I can totally envision a future where your own car calls the cops on you and they just shut down your car to do a traffic stop. This will be abused by both law enforcement and hackers.
GODDAMNIT PARAGRAPH MORE DUPLICATE TWEET ACTION. I JUST WANT TO FINISH THIS NEWSLETTER!
And finally, this was incredibly disturbing...this dude sent one paragraph to DHS advocating for an Afghan asylum seeker and in response they subpoenaed his Gmail account and paid him a visit at his house. There may be more to this story, I didn't dive too deep, but on the surface it doesn't look good.
xcancel.com is a working instance of Nitter, allowing you to easily view X posts without needing to log in. This is an increasingly important tool, especially when viewing "controversial" political content that you might not want X knowing that you are interested in.
kyc.rip is a dope site with tons of tools, including a handy dandy address checker. See if a crypto address is sketchy or not. It also has a burner email address service, a XMR street price tracker, a PGP messaging app, buy virtual gift cards with XMR, instant swaps, and much more. I have not tried any of these tools out yet, other than trying to do a swap on 2/5 but I couldn't get it to work. I think that was because the entire crypto market was on fire though. This site could be a honey pot, idk but goddamn the design of the site is absolutely beautiful.
Shakespeare is a front end for vibe coding Nostr applications.
jmail.world is a site where you can browse and search Epstein's emails for yourself as if you were logged into his Gmail account. This is a deep rabbit hole, and this is way easier than clicking random files on the justice department's unorganized mess of a data dump.
The Paznia Radio network is an agorist radio show that is live every Saturday at 4pm EST, check out the last episode here. Unfortunately the main guy behind this show, Rayo2, who has been tirelessly advocating for freedom and agorism for many years now, just lost his house to a fire. Show him some support by watching and sharing the show! Since Free Talk Live is no longer broadcasting very often, we needed a good call-in freedom oriented radio program and the Paznia people are stepping up.
That's it for this issue of Thought Crime Trap House, I gotta start releasing these more often because if I wait too long between issues than so much happens it's hard to include even 10% of it. The news cycle has definitely been accelerating lately, it seems like a year's worth of noteworthy developments happens every single month now. Am I the only one who feels that way? Let me know in the comments if I am not crazy.
Welcome to the Thought Crime Trap House, no recording devices, snitches, or bootlickers allowed. I am Thoughtcrimeboss. Why should you listen to me? Well, I have lived outside of the "system" for more than a decade now. In all practical terms, I don't exist, and I have learned a few things along the way that I can teach you.
You don't have to go to the extremes I have, but protecting your privacy is no longer optional. Criminals are getting data on crypto holders from data leaks and targeting them with kidnappings and armed home invasions. The state is implementing an AI powered mass surveillance network on a scale never before seen in history. Digital IDs and CBDCs are spreading like wild fire and the exits are closing. If you don't opt out and build a life outside of the system soon, you might be trapped in it forever. Subscribe to get the latest news on crypto, freedom tech, and privacy alongside actionable advice to help you opt out and protect yourself.

Now that we are in a bear market, it's a good time to start building your non kyc crypto stack.
The best way to use cryptocurrency is without using any services, apps, or exchanges that require KYC and dox your wallets. This is true both for individuals attempting to opt out of the traditional financial system and regular individuals who want to use crypto without the risk of getting their skull bashed in from a five dollar wrench attack. Most blockchains are 100% open and transparent, meaning anyone can open a block explorer, type in a crypto address, and discover the balances and history of every transaction that wallet has ever made. They can go further and discover the balances and transaction history of every wallet that has interacted with the initial wallet as well. There is some protection in the pseudonymous nature of these crypto addresses, as they are just a random string of characters that don't directly announce the identity of the owner. That information has to be gathered from external data points, such as a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that verifies the identity of it's users through KYC/AML processes. This information is usually given over on a voluntary basis by the users. Most on and off ramps to crypto, meaning the ways in which crypto can be converted into fiat currency, have mandatory KYC. The problems with KYC are too numerous to go over here, but one of the biggest issues is that once you KYC, you put yourself at risk for targeted theft, phishing, and kidnapping. Data breaches happen all the time, and once your crypto address is linked to a real world identity once, there is no going back. Every transaction you ever make with that wallet or any wallets linked to it will then always be linkable back to you.
There are many advantages to never KYCing your crypto holdings, or at the very least, having compartmentalized KYC and non KYC holdings that do not ever intermingle. But how do you put cash in or get cash out if you can't use a centralized exchange and bank account to do so? This task is harder today than ever before, but it is still very doable. Then, once you get a little bit, you now have a foot in the door so to speak. You can then use that little bit to make a little bit more and slowly (or quickly) build up your non kyced stack of crypto. That's because one of the easiest methods of acquiring nonkyced crypto is with other nonkyced crypto (See "DeFi/Trading/Gambling below".)
-WARNING: When you are buying crypto P2P, especially if you do so using the decentralized exchange or atomic swap methods, there are risks to buying non fungible/transparent crypto currencies like this. You might inadvertently end up with "tainted coins" that are connected to a sanctioned entity or criminals. Even though this is unlikely, it is a risk to be aware of. The best thing is to just buy Monero because Monero is much more fungible than transparent cryptocurrencies. If you are buying a transparent crypto like Bitcoin then buy it from someone with a good reputation. Many nonkyc instant swap services or centralized exchanges do have automated checks that should in theory prevent you from getting tainted coins. Many decentralized exchanges don't.
This goes along with a very important part of opting out of the system, and that is building a network of friends and associates. The bitcoin meetup method works best if you live in or near a major city, but even if you live in a rural area, traveling to a city with a meetup once a month is worth the investment in time and gas.
1- Find the closest Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency meetup: I've only ever been to Bitcoin meetups, I'm assuming the process would be similar for a differen't coin's meetup though. Meetup.com is a good place to start looking.
WARNING: If you create a meetup.com account in order to join one of the bitcoin or crypto groups, be sure to use a VPN, an email that isn't linked to your real identity, and an alias name. Do not tell people at the meetup your real name! They expect you to use an alias, and you should.
2- Don't be a weirdo: Go and introduce yourself, don't try to sell anyone any crypto the first time you go, make some friends first. Maybe buy a little if someone is offering, but don't show up and immediately try to sell a stranger a large bag, you don't want them to think you are a scammer or something worse. Try to get invited into their group chat. Be friendly and respect people's privacy. Don't ask someone where they live, or how much Bitcoin they have. There are usually some very paranoid OG's with lot's of Bitcoin at these meetups and they are going to be guarded around strangers, especially if the strangers are asking very personal questions. They also want to spread Bitcoin though, so they will welcome you with open arms if you can just be chill and hang out.
3- Ettiquette: After you go 2 or 3 times and find out the meetup's methods and etiquette for buying and selling, then you can mention you are looking to sell some Bitcoin. Don't even try selling other cryptocurrency if it is a bitcoin only meetup. Once you get to know people you might be able to sell some people XMR, but anything other than BTC or XMR is unlikely to find buyers. If you want to sell other cryptocurrencies, just convert them into Bitcoin first. Remember, don't be posting specific details in the group chat,
Good group chat message: "Selling, DM me" Keep it short, simple, and generic. DMs should be encrypted, such as the "secret chat" in Telegram.
Bad group chat message: "I have 0.1 BTC for sale, will meet on North side" Don't tell the whole group chat exactly how much bitcoin you have for sale, it may be invite only but it's still a bad idea and bad etiquette too.
4-Vetting: Sometimes it is hard to get someone to buy from you if you don't have someone else in the group willing to vouch for you. However it is easier to buy some without a vouch, especially if you have gone to a few meetups and made some friends. So what you could do is buy $100 of Bitcoin from someone, and then you have a successful transaction under your belt in which no one got ripped off. Then later on, you can ask the person you bought from to vouch for you when you want to sell some Bitcoin. You are also going to want to ask a potential buyer if anyone else from the group will vouch for them. If not, to be safe you probably shouldn't sell to them until that changes.
5-Find a DCAer: Lot's of Bitcoiners DCA(dollar cost average) and buy a set amount of Bitcoin at preset intervals regardless of what the market is doing. If you can find someone like that who is willing to buy from you on a regular basis, then you have a guaranteed off ramp for X amount every month.
6- Safety first: Doing transactions at the meet up itself is a good idea, but if you are doing a trade in between meet ups, just make sure you meet in a public place and only carry the cash you need for the deal itself. If you are dealing with a new person, start small and build trust over multiple smaller transactions. Tell someone where you are going so that if you don't come back they know you are tied up in the back of a van.
7- Sell at spot: If you charge extra fees when selling crypto, that could be construed by the state as operating a business of selling crypto. So just sell at the spot price and sell amounts that are under $10,000 dollars.
Another great way to get or use non kyc crypto is buying and selling goods and services directly. There are tons of things you can buy directly with Bitcoin and Monero, from food to cars. For everything else, there are gift cards.
XMRBazaar is basically Craigslist for Monero. You can buy or sell any good or service that is legal in your jurisdiction. They are adding support for other cryptocurrencies as well. Make sure your seller has good reviews and/or is bonded. There is also an escrow feature that you can use with unbonded sellers without any reviews to protect yourself, if the seller supports it.
Proxy Store allows you to pay for various digital services/subscriptions with Monero or Bitcoin. This was the work around Proton used to "add" Monero payments for their VPN after a petition to do so was circulated on Twitter, because they are too scared to just offer Monero payments directly. Mullvad has been accepting Monero for years without any issues, so idk why they are so scared.
Anon Shop lets you buy things on Amazon with Monero through a proxy shopper. No amazon account needed. You can ship to your house, but it kind of defeats the purpose. Instead, ship to an amazon locker, park a block or two away, then wear a covid mask, hat, and reflectacles when picking up your order for near total anonymity. I tried this service when it first launched and it worked fine.
There are other providers not listed here, I am only listing gift card providers that I have tried personally. There are also services that allow you to sell giftcards for crypto, or you can do that on XMR Bazaar, which is one way to turn cash into non kyc crypto. However you are going to pay for the privilege.
Cakepay: I have used Cakepay for a few years for various things. For most things, they are reliable, but occasionally there are problems with the card providers but they aren't really Cakepay's fault. Don't bother with Best Buy cards. If you are buying a prepaid debit card, do it on public WiFi instead of using a VPN or it might not work. I'm not sure what exactly will get you "flagged" with Mastercard or Visa when purchasing prepaid virtual debit cards. I've heard of someone getting flagged possibly for splitting a larger transaction into 2 different cards, which they were just doing because they wanted to make sure it worked before buying the full amount. No information was given about the reason for the flagging. The first card went through fine, but when they bought the second one they got flagged by the provider and were no longer able to buy any debit cards from them. Their Monero was returned by Cakepay eventually.
Bitrefill: I've only used these guys a few times, no problems though other than sometimes they would be "sold out" of prepaid debit cards of certain denominations. Like they would have $20 ones but not $100 ones. I didn't know you could run out of stock on virtual visa cards, and I have to wonder if this was just a ploy to milk fees out of people who would be forced to buy multiple cards.
Coincards: I've used Coincards with no issues. They are slightly more expensive than Cakepay. This is because it is a Canadian company, so they have to jump through more hoops to convert their Monero to fiat and added a small fee to each purchase to cover those costs.
There are P2P DEXs out there that offer crypto to fiat, fiat to crypto, or crypto to crypto trading. People get paid through various methods such as paypal, cash app, or cash by mail. The platforms have various ways to reduce the possibility of getting scammed, such as multisig escrow systems and security deposits. This way instead of a corporation running a centralized exchange knowing you bought or sold some crypto, only one individual knows. This reduces the attack surface. If you are buying, don't put something stupid like "for bitcoin" in the cash app payment memo, just put something generic or the payment service provider will know you are buying crypto. You don't want them to know.
XMR Bazaar- You can buy and sell XMR for cash on XMRBazaar, not a whole lot of buyers and sellers yet though, but there are some.
RetoSwap- This is a fork of Haveno, which was a fork of Bisq. It is always highly recommended by the Monero community as a way to buy and sell XMR with no KYC, and is now doing more volume than Bisq is I think. You have to run a client on your computer to use it, and it supports most fiat currencies via Paypal, CashApp, SEPA/ACH transfers, cash by mail, and in person meetings. Currently supports Monero (XMR), USDT (on ETH & TRON), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC) & Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Bisq- Same idea as RetoSwap, but more focused on Bitcoin and less privacy focused.
Robosats- A P2P Bitcoin to fiat exchange that runs on TOR using the lightning network. Here is their onion site as well.
Defillama Swap- This is for crypto to crypto swaps for EVM compatible cryptocurrencies only (anything on Ethereum or any Ethereum Layer 2). It is an aggregator that finds the best price it can across multiple EVM DEXs. The reason I prefer this aggregator over others is you can set it to obscure your IP address from the DEX it connects you to. This is a smart contract DEX, it doesn't require you to find a particular seller, you just buy from a liquidity pool permissionlessly.
Jupiter- This is also a crypto to crypto DEX aggregrator, but for cryptocurrencies on Solana only. Use this instead of doing the swap directly in your Solana wallet to avoid extra fees. Phantom charges 0.85% for every swap.
Once you have some non kyc Bitcoin or Monero, you can easily swap into any other crypto you need on instant exchange sites. Or if you need to swap other cryptos into cash, you can use the instant swap service to convert them into Bitcoin to sell p2p. There are risks here because unlike a DEX, you have to send your crypto to the provider while trusting that they will deliver the crypto you want to your wallet. One of the risks is shotgun KYC, which is when the instant swap service decides you are sketchy. Then, instead of just returning your funds, they make you KYC to get your funds back. I have never personally encountered this, and it is supposedly rare, but it does happen.
Trocador.app: This is an aggregator, it checks multiple instant swap services for whatever exchange you want to do to find the best price. It also tells you how long the swap will take and how private each service is. It has a rating system that will show you the risk of a particular provider doing shotgun KYC. Oftentimes the swaps will take less time than is shown in my experience.
StealthEx (REF LINK WARNING) : I've used this one a few dozen times with no problems, then I hadn't used them in maybe a year or so when I tried using them on the latest Bitcoin crash day, Feb 5th. It took a long time to complete the exchange from XMR to some stablecoins, more than 4 hours. To be fair the day was kind of fucked, so hopefully on most days it goes quicker.
Superteam Earn: This site has a few bounties you can try to win via things like making blog posts, twitter threads, videos, or writing technical documentation for various crypto projects. I've used them and have successfully gotten paid a couple times, so they are legit. The opportunities are more sparse than they used to be though.....bear market vibes.
rentahuman.ai: A brand new website where the rapidly multiplying army of AI agents can hire a human to do any task in meatspace. They pay you in stablecoins. No word yet if the agents have put any hits out yet. Thank god someone, well something, is hiring though.
Nostr: If you make good posts on Nostr, people will tip you in small amounts of Bitcoin on the Lightning network. You have to set up a lightning wallet to receive "zaps" though. The best client is Primal, but don't use Primal's built in wallet because it asks for personal information (or you can just lie, I don't think they actually confirm the info). I am currently using a wallet called Minibits to receive zaps, but be aware Minibits is custodial. Minibits might not be the best option, it's just the first one I could get to work. If you earn any significant amount of Bitcoin, don't leave it sitting in there, take custody of it by sending it to an external non custodial wallet such as Zeus.
Farcaster: (REF LINK) Farcaster has a myriad of ways to earn or win crypto through the various miniapps or people tipping your posts. You can very easily earn a dollar or two a day in non kyc crypto by spending less than 5 minutes in this app, just from clicking buttons. I've made quite a decent chunk of change from playing around here over the last couple of years. They just got acquired though, so who knows what the future will bring, but for now it's still printing some loot.
XMRchat: If you create content, you can set up an XMRchat profile to easily recieve XMR tips in the style of youtube superchats where the tipper can include a message.
Often people forget that you can skip all the nonsense and just turn electricity and computing power into fully virgin cryptocurrency with no identity or transaction history attached to it. XMR can be mined on any CPU, and even if it doesn't turn out to be profitable per say, consider it as converting cash into crypto with electricity as the middle man. So even if your electricity cost is higher than the value of the coins you mine, consider that premium the cost of getting non kyc crypto. When you buy non kyc crypto on the street, it usually costs a bit more than kyced crypto on Coinbase or Binance. So even mining at a loss can be still worthwhile to build up your anon stack with zero risk of getting tainted coins. Also, if you have any altruistic tendencies, keep in mind that mining helps the fight for freedom.
Gupax makes Monero mining relatively easy, and solo bitcoin mining is also easier than ever, with miners like Bitaxes that now plug into regular ol' outlets. You can even buy a space heater that mines Bitcoin and uses the waste heat to heat your room. Now if you want to actually get some crypto, you are going to want to pool mine rather than solo mine. Solo mining is more like playing the lottery, but with much better odds. It could take a very long time solo mining before you actually win a block and get some crypto, if ever. The better equipment you have, the higher the odds. Pool mining is when you join forces with other miners to increase the odds of winning a block, but you then split the proceeds of that block.
You can turn your crypto into more crypto by earning yield on it in DeFi. This is not risk free of course, as you probably already know DeFi is a minefield of potential hacks, rug pulls, counterparty risk, depeggings, and liquidity issues. Now it is becoming a battlefield between blackhat hackers using AI models to find vulnerabilities to exploit and whitehats hardening smart contracts to protect them. Unless you are deliberately hunting airdrops by using newer DeFi protocols, stick to battle tested ones like Aave. This will reduce your risk but not eliminate it, as we saw recently with the OG protocol Balancer getting hacked.
-Lending: The simplest way to earn some crypto in DeFi is to deposit EVM stablecoins into a lending protocol like Aave to earn about 2 to 10% annually. You can also earn on other coins, but the yield is low at the moment. Keep in mind most stablecoins are centralized, freezable, and very trackable. They also carry depegging risk, even the largest stablecoins USDC and USDT had a major depeg as recently as 2023. So don't stick your life savings in a stablecoin and as always DYOR.
-Staking: Many kinds of cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, can be staked to earn some yield. Staking secures the Ethereum network similarly to how mining secures Bitcoin. The easiest way to do this is to swap into a liquid staking coin. There is also a privacy POS coin, called Zano, that was created by one of the creators of the crypto note protocol that Monero is based on.
-Providing Liquidity: This is a more advanced technique, do your homework before trying this especially if you doing it with uncorrelated assets because you have to factor in the risk of impermanent loss. LPing is when you deposit two different assets (or one with single side LPing) into a liquidity pool to earn a portion of the fees when traders trade between the two assets. So if you deposit wrapped bitcoin and Ethereum into a pool, every time someone swaps WBTC for ETH, you earn a small fee.
-Super advanced techniques: People have discovered all sorts of creative or degenerate ways to stick DeFi legos together to increase their yield. The more complicated the strategy is, the more risky it is, but the possibilities are endless.
-Funding Rate Arbitrage: You can do this entirely onchain now using perp dexes without needing to use KYCed CEX's. Or you can use one of the remaining non kyced CEX's as well. It's pretty simple, you just have to make sure you don't get caught in a liquidation which will erase all the yield you made and then some. If the funding rate is positive, that means longs pay shorts and it costs money to be long. If it is negative the opposite is true. You can earn some delta neutral yield off of this strategy, which means you aren't exposed to the price going up or down, you just collect the funding rate. Say you own 2 Monero, you can then short 2 Monero on Hyperliquid and collect the funding rate when the longs have to pay the shorts. By being long spot and short perps, they cancel each other out and you get to keep the funding rate. The trick is you have to avoid liquidation, so you need to have enough margin on the perp dex to cover any extreme price swings. If Monero starts mooning and you are at risk of liquidation, you just close both sides of the trade and walk away with your yield. Some assets have crazy high funding rates at times, which can give you massive yields if you avoid getting blown out. This is best done if you have a decent stack of liquidity to work with.
-Trading: You can always try to trade the market to earn some more non kyced crypto. It is incredibly difficult to trade profitably though, especially if you are using high leverage. You might have some beginners luck and think you are a trading god, but more than likely you will proceed to lose it all. It usually takes the few traders who become consistentally profitable several years of experience before they start to make money. For most people, trading is a good way to quickly lose your non kyced stack of crypto. There is a whole lot of bad information out there. The fact is, if you don't have an exact system that is back tested with a statistical edge and you are just trading off vibes, you will eventually lose money. You have to develop an actual system and stick to it. Or you can just allocate X amount to gambling and if you lose you lose. If you have a small amount of capital, it's even harder to make money trading. However, if you are trading small amounts, that can be an edge in itself because it means your orders won't move the market even on tiny nano cap shitcoins. If you want to play in the memecoin trenches, either on Base, Solana, or Binance Smart Chain, than make sure that you remember to take fucking profits. Many coins are launched every day but only a few will run, and even less will last more than a short time before going to zero. Unrealized profits are not profits at all. Many people will refuse to sell a winner because they are worried it might go up even more and they don't want to miss out on those extra gains. After all, sometimes coins will go up 100x, and if you sold at 2x, that will be very painful. But many people give back 10xes in hopes of a 100x and end up with nothing. There is an easy solution if you don't want to be a victim of FOMO, and that is to take partial profits on a runner. When you should take partials depends on the coin, it's market cap, and it's volatility. If you can't resist the temptation of potential gains and want to try trading, start with small amounts and get a feel for things before trying with significant size. If you lose money trading with $100, you probably aren't going to make money trading with 10k.
-Airdrop Hunting: This is becoming much less profitable than it was even a year ago, as many projects are choosing to ICO instead of doing airdrops, and many of the airdrops that do happen have been peanuts. My best advice is to focus your time and energy farming a few quality projects rather than trying to do it all. You can easily get bogged down in sub par airdrop campaigns that take many hours of effort and tied up capital to get $20 or some bullshit at the end of it. Also, just exploring the world of crypto naturally and trying new things will increase your onchain footprint and potentially qualify you for random airdrops. The trick is actually hearing about the airdrops and claiming them before they expire. Keep your ears open on X and in group chats and you can check premarkets on whales.market for upcoming token launches. Be careful about what you connect your wallet to though! The airdrop world is full of scams. Also many airdrops exclude the United States, so it's a good idea to use a VPN when airdrop hunting if you want to even be able to claim them. More and more airdrops are requiring full KYC to claim these days which is sad. Years ago, airdrops would just show up in your wallet if you qualified for them, that's why they were named airdrops. Now you have to often have to connect your wallet and sign a transaction within a certain period of time and sometimes they want you to verify your identity. I just skip the KYCed ones and airdrop hunting has been my biggest source of non kyc crypto over the years. If you qualify for a KYCed airdrop of significant size, but you don't want to dox your wallet, there are ways around this. Use your imagination.
-Giveaways/Contests: This is still good to do during the bear market, when dying projects are desperate for engagement on social media and do contests that like 8 people enter. Even during the bull market, you can still find really good odds of winning sometimes. Look for giveaways or contests that require very little effort and have low engagement on the annoucement tweet. I try to look for 1/500 odds or better. You can ignore 99% of giveaway posts because they are fake and are doing two things, farming engagement and farming addresses to sell to scammers. A fake giveaway will be like "comment your Ethereum address to win 4 ETH" with no obvious marketing reason behind it by a random account. People comment their addresses, and the scammers link addresses with handles, check the balances, and use your balances to target you for scam airdrops or phishing attempts.
Instead look for legitimate projects, wallets, founders, etc who are doing realistic give aways or contests to promote their project or wallet. @vikrantnyc the cake wallet guy does Monero giveaways all the time for example. Sometimes you will see POW contests, like writing a twitter thread, best meme contests, or logo designs. If you find a legitimate giveaway or contest to enter, make a seperate wallet just for giveaways and contests.
There are probably more ways to earn non kyc crypto that I haven't thought of, such as catfishing lonely crypto developers. Be creative and you can start building your stack with no connections to your real world identity. This kind of wealth, outside of the system, is incredibly valuable. It should be a priority for you if you want to opt the fuck out.
And now for just some of the crazy shit that has gone down since the last issue.
The US Government is so ineffective they can't even keep track of the crypto they seize and some kid stole 40 million dollars worth of government crypto. Then other kids made fun of the kid for being poor until he decided to share his wallet just to prove them wrong. Someone immediately sent it to ZachXBT and now he is highly likely to be grounded for the rest of his life.
The Epstein files dump spared noone, as corruption and evil have been exposed across the entire ruling class. Unfortunately Bitcoin was also a victim of sorts of the latest release of 3 million files. Turns out Epstein may have had some influence on Bitcoin development, it's not really clear at this point. He was definitely involved in the investing side of things, whether or not that translated to influence over it's development is up for debate.
Meanwhile, Monero devs are not in the Epstein files.
Here is a podcast with a good overview of the files in terms of Bitcoin.
If you want to check out the Epstein files for yourself, be sure to take measures to protect yourself. You can try accessing them through TOR, I don't know if it will work or not but it's worth a shot. More about the files in the politics section.
Monero has been on a wild ride since the last issue. After I said Monero had the best looking chart in all of crypto, it proceeded to break ATHs and rocketed up to $800. Then ZachXBT ruined the party by claiming the price rise had been possibly related to a hacker laundering funds. The party got ruined even further when Bitcoin fell off a fucking cliff. However Monero has continued to hold up better than most altcoins and is currently chilling in the 300's.
The Bitcoin crash on 2/5 was epic, it was one of the worst days in Bitcoin's history. That whole week I felt like I was adding collateral to my Aave loans every 15 minutes, digging coins out of digital couch cushions to try to avoid liquidation. I came incredibly close to losing most of my wrapped Bitcoin. If Bitcoin had gone down another few hundred dollars I would of been so fucked. I'm still fucked just not AS fucked as I would of been if I had been forced into selling at the bottom.
Lots of potential catalysts for this crash, including a possible Hong Kong based fund blowing up combined with the markets not liking the hawkish Fed chairman nomination. Don't forget a healthy serving of Quantum FUD that got so bad our least favorite Bitcoiner, Micheal Saylor did a 180 from dismissing Quantum as FUD to forming some kind of task force to address it. Mix all that with some Epstein files and you end up with a massive shit sandwich.
It seems like X has been doing it's best to suppress Monero adoption, not only did they refuse to allow Doug Thuman to advertise the Monerotopia 2026 Conference (February 12-15 in Mexico City, and it will be broadcasted online for free this year as well), but they also banned the XMR Bazaar twitter account for breaking the unwritten rule of sharing too many external links. In response, the community has started a new group for sharing listings,
For some reason the Paragraph editor won't let me delete this duplicate tweet below about the IBIT volume....now that it's a bear market and Paragraph probably has 0 funding left, I probably need to migrate my newsletter. This isn't the only bug I've been encountering with this editor, but it's always been a little buggy. Maybe they should of fixed the editor instead of launching writer coins that noone will buy. I can't do paid subscriptions but I can launch a creator coin? Or if you want to get even more retarded I can launch a coin for the post itself, in case you want to invest in Issue #6 like it is bringing in revenue or something.
A reminder that storing money in USDT or USDC is almost the same as storing it in a bank account.
The Monero GUI desktop wallet has released a new version. When you update you should also update your node's ban list. Many of the spy nodes have changed their IP addresses, so the old list is no longer effective. These spy nodes try to harvest as much data about transactions as they can for bad actors like Chainalysis.
Monero is becoming more important as currently it is the only viable alternative for cash, which is slowly being phased out.
I do have to give some props to Apple, the FBI was unable to get into a Washington Post reporter's iphone because it had lockdown mode enabled. However, they were able to access her laptop because she had touch id enabled. A good reminder why biometric security isn't security at all, all someone has to do is grab your hand and stick it on the print reader.
Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to be considerably less based than Apple, and will just hand over your Bitlocker encryption keys to the FBI if they ask nicely.
Thanks to a recent hack of a company called Gravy Analytics, we now a have a list of thousands of apps being used to track users without their knowledge. Even the app developers of the apps being used may not be aware of this. Here is a direct link to the list of apps. This is a good example of why you should use open source apps that don't even participate in these RTB advertising markets that are being co-opted to harvest data.
"Some of the world’s most popular apps are likely being co-opted by rogue members of the advertising industry to harvest sensitive location data on a massive scale, with that data ending up with a location data company whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US law enforcement.
The thousands of apps, included in hacked files from location data company Gravy Analytics, include everything from games like Candy Crush and dating apps like Tinder to pregnancy tracking and religious prayer apps across both Android and iOS. Because much of the collection is occurring through the advertising ecosystem—not code developed by the app creators themselves—this data collection is likely happening without users’ or even app developers’ knowledge.
“For the first time publicly, we seem to have proof that one of the largest data brokers selling to both commercial and government clients appears to be acquiring their data from the online advertising ‘bid stream,’” rather than code embedded into the apps themselves, Zach Edwards, senior threat analyst at cybersecurity firm Silent Push and who has followed the location data industry closely, tells 404 Media after reviewing some of the data."
Some based individual has launched a website, http://haveibeenflocked.com/, that let's you check to see if your license plate number has been searched for by law enforcement using Flock's surveillance tools. There are millions of records searchable on the website right now.
The cops are freaking out, Flock is freaking out. It's great. Black market entrepreneurs across the country have just been given a free heads up that they are being watched, hopefully they use this information to stay out of prison. They are saying this could of fucked up a bunch of active surveillance ops, and most "surveillance" ops are just pigs trying to bust people for victimless crimes. I mean how many times do you hear about cops following around a potential burgler or rapist to prevent them from stealing or raping. Not very often, because they spend all their resources watching drug dealers instead. Thanks to civil asset forfeiture laws creating perverse incentives for law enforcement, they will want to focus more on drugs than actual crime, because it's easier for them to score some cash, cars, houses, boats, etc and help pad out that pension fund.
If you are wondering how they acquired this information, it happened when Flock made a massive redaction error.
"A handful of police departments that use Flock have unwittingly leaked details of millions of surveillance targets and a large number of active police investigations around the country because they have failed to redact license plates information in public records releases. Flock responded to this revelation by threatening a site that exposed it and by limiting the information the public can get via public records requests. "
LOL
Age Verification is spreading like a virus, since the last issue Discord has announced they are launching it, and Greece, Spain, and Austria are all implementing social media bans for minors that will be enforced through age verification.
RIP Discord....I refuse to submit a face scan to a closed source project with a history of leaking user data. I shouldn't have to dox myself to use your stupid app. If I have to I will buy a age verified account from a third world country and use that. This kind of preempitive compliance that we are starting to see from social media companies is really making me angry. Oh but you can still use the platform, just in "teen" mode, so it's not big deal right? Wrong! They always just take a little bit of your freedom away at a time, not enough that you freak out. It's framed as just a minor inconvenience to "protect the children", and don't you want to protect the children? What the fuck ever, I grew up with free and open access to anything on the internet as a "child" and I turned out just fine (with only a few mental issues). If you are a parent and don't want your kid getting on discord, maybe....just don't let your kid get on discord. WHOAAA....ground breaking, I know. You probably own the router in the house, (unless you rent one from your ISP, don't do that!) so just monitor your kid's internet traffic, and if they connect to discord, make them pick a stick out and beat the living fuck out of them. They probably won't get on discord anymore. That's how we used to keep kids off of discord back in the 1930s when men were men and women were for making babies. We don't need age verification as long as we still have trees (if we have no trees, metal bats also work, just avoid the head area).
Just kidding please don't beat your children. I can make offensive jokes like that because no one reads this newsletter (If you read this part, let me know in the comments!). Here is a tool on Github that will possibly get around Discord's age verification. I have not tested it DYOR.
OpenAI is also doing age verification now.
Washington State wants to spy on your 3D printer so you don't make anything cool.
When ICE isn't shooting people and kidnapping toddlers, they are spying on us to find new people to shoot and or kidnap. Check out this new zine about all the different ways they are conducting surveillance. (PDF file)
At least there are some people fighting against ICE's use of facial recognition
Illegal immigration is a great excuse for putting the AI control grid into place....test it on immigrants, than deploy it against everyone.
Bitcoin wasn't the only thing to get hit by the Epstein files release. The damage has been far and wide. We live in a society ruled by pedophiles and those who are protecting pedophiles. Rich and powerful and traffic underage girls? No problem. Not rich and sell some drugs less harmful than alcohol? Go straight to prison for a few decades. If you still haven't realize the state is a purely evil organization, you are burying your head in the sand. Oh and not that I am surprised, but Ron Paul came out of this clean, he was not liked by these pedo fucks.
Oh and Epstein is either not dead or was murdered. We don't know which yet...but we do know the FBI helped cover it up. Props to adamscochran on Twitter who analyzed every second of the security video last year and determined there was a cover up well before these files were released.
I think the Epstein scandal will go down in history as the biggest political scandal of all time and the death blow that destroyed any remaining faith Americans had in their Government. The ruling class is corrupt to the core and the entire system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up with voluntary systems. If this isn't obvious to you at this point, you have your head buried in the sand.
We also had some interesting news from one of my least favorite insitutions, the Federal Reserve. First, in mid January, Powell puts out a video when Trump threatens him with legal action over some expensive renovations at his office. Why exactly did the Fed need to spend any money on renovations anyways? Don't they know you can interfere in free markets, enrich the ruling class at the expense of the working class, and fund endless wars remotely now? They don't need a fancy building to devalue the dollar.
This man oversaw the largest expansion in the supply of US dollars in history, a Covid era money printing bonanza that was exponentially larger than any prior ones. The inflation we saw post Covid was a direct result of this.
Lots of American people would love a home renovation, or hell to even own a home at all, but they can't afford it. Everything costs too much now thanks to years of money printing by the Fed. I have no sympathy for central bankers.
Later on in the month, Trump nominates Kevin Warsh as Powell's replacement. Warsh is considered Hawkish by some and this was a potential catalyst in the epic crash in gold and silver this month when an insane amount of wealth was destroyed in a couple of hours as 7 trillion dollars was erased from precious metals. Warsh is also a guest star in the never ending shit show that is the Epstein files.
When my boy Massie ain't busy bringing down huge parts of the corrupt ruling class by forcing the release of the Epstein files, he is also trying to keep creepy kill switches out of our cars. The feds want to put a kill switch in all new cars...if your car doesn't like how you are driving it just shuts down...I have to wonder if such a kill switch will have a back door for Law enforcement to shut down your car whenever they feel like it. The way things are trending, I can totally envision a future where your own car calls the cops on you and they just shut down your car to do a traffic stop. This will be abused by both law enforcement and hackers.
GODDAMNIT PARAGRAPH MORE DUPLICATE TWEET ACTION. I JUST WANT TO FINISH THIS NEWSLETTER!
And finally, this was incredibly disturbing...this dude sent one paragraph to DHS advocating for an Afghan asylum seeker and in response they subpoenaed his Gmail account and paid him a visit at his house. There may be more to this story, I didn't dive too deep, but on the surface it doesn't look good.
xcancel.com is a working instance of Nitter, allowing you to easily view X posts without needing to log in. This is an increasingly important tool, especially when viewing "controversial" political content that you might not want X knowing that you are interested in.
kyc.rip is a dope site with tons of tools, including a handy dandy address checker. See if a crypto address is sketchy or not. It also has a burner email address service, a XMR street price tracker, a PGP messaging app, buy virtual gift cards with XMR, instant swaps, and much more. I have not tried any of these tools out yet, other than trying to do a swap on 2/5 but I couldn't get it to work. I think that was because the entire crypto market was on fire though. This site could be a honey pot, idk but goddamn the design of the site is absolutely beautiful.
Shakespeare is a front end for vibe coding Nostr applications.
jmail.world is a site where you can browse and search Epstein's emails for yourself as if you were logged into his Gmail account. This is a deep rabbit hole, and this is way easier than clicking random files on the justice department's unorganized mess of a data dump.
The Paznia Radio network is an agorist radio show that is live every Saturday at 4pm EST, check out the last episode here. Unfortunately the main guy behind this show, Rayo2, who has been tirelessly advocating for freedom and agorism for many years now, just lost his house to a fire. Show him some support by watching and sharing the show! Since Free Talk Live is no longer broadcasting very often, we needed a good call-in freedom oriented radio program and the Paznia people are stepping up.
That's it for this issue of Thought Crime Trap House, I gotta start releasing these more often because if I wait too long between issues than so much happens it's hard to include even 10% of it. The news cycle has definitely been accelerating lately, it seems like a year's worth of noteworthy developments happens every single month now. Am I the only one who feels that way? Let me know in the comments if I am not crazy.
