This quote really bugs me:
> The good news for tax authorities, and regulators, is that contrary to the vision of the original [Bitcoin] designers - a core role has emerged for centralized institutions of various kinds in the transacting of crypto assets, notably exchanges through which they are bought and sold."

This must change. More P2P.

Yes, James Corbett is doing very good investigations and documentaries
I will remind you all here some of his amazing work and I am strongly recommending you to watch them and also share them with all your normies friends:
- [Century of enslavement: the history of federal reserve](https://www.bitchute.com/video/zwdCl18pslkC/)
- [911 trillions - follow the money](https://www.bitchute.com/video/c9kKcSpenrJV/)
- [How Big Oil Conquered the World](https://www.bitchute.com/video/U67rpGthMRQe/)

And if you want more documentaries to wake up your friends, here is a list in my guide:

Atomic.Finance is building an app for folks to earn a yield on their BTC while holding onto their keys. Made possible using covered calls, and DLCs (think of them as a way to encode a Bitcoin financial contract on-chain).

We started Atomic because we think the current version of Bitcoin finance sucks… A LOT. Way too easy for folks to get rugged like in FTX / BlockFi / Celsius last year, because everything is custodial and a black box. We want to change that. That’s why we’re all about building what we call #SoundFinance for Sound Money (so like… DeFi, but better 😛)

Financial apps that are transparent, verifiable, and non-custodial — like Bitcoin itself.

This yield product is the first step 🤙 - it’s now in open beta on our website: 

Go ahead, AMA*! All questions are welcome! LFG 🚀

(Is it still considered AMA if there’s two of us? or is it AUA - Ask Us Anything? 🤣)
