@HG granted the fact that kidnappings for ransom are a thing should be the final nail in the coffin re: #Shitcoins & #KYC!

• Cuz unlike #TradFin (& #Monero) one can see every walllet's balance and transactions; no warrant required!

And people just roll with this form of self-#d0xxing?

@adisonverlice it's not just re: #Governments (tho #Project2025 explicitly endorses unsactioned comms to twart attempts at #FIOA or any #accountability for that matter), but individuals or any organization:

• If a system is #centralized as in #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider, it's inherently vulnerable.

And if #EncroChat got pwned, who's gonna guarantee @signalapp won't if it's actually secure or isn't an #InsideJob like #ANØM.

After all, both #Signal's Organization and key people like @Mer__edith are known to the authorities by more than just their legal name.

• What's gonna prevent #Trump from doing a "bag&drag" on her or getting his goons to put a gun on,the developers' heads and force them to,#d0x all users and #backdoor everything (if they didn't already got forced to have some "#LafwulInterception" gear in a closet like #Room641A...

After all, Signal can't pull the 5th and refuse to comply!

@legrex @OS1337 @noxypaws @signalapp there are many other options for that that don't require one to self-#d0x with a phone number.

Like #IRC & #XMPP-Conferencing.

Espechally the latter one just works and with @monocles / #MonoclesChat it's so easy even my mother can do it!
