The Tightening of The Noose
It’s nearly 20 years now since I first started writing on matters of freedom, offshore banking and the PT lifestyle – via a hard copy newsletter I used to publish. And when I look back I realise how much our freedoms have diminished since then. Before the year 2000 it was still possible to open…
Bitcoin’s Answer to Monero’s Anonymity?
Monero has risen quite impressively over the past couple of weeks. In fact, I wish I had been prescient enough to see this coming.
