When Amazon hired me on an H-1B visa, Amazon was making losses for 10 straight years. It was operating out of a rented building where we worked on door desks in small cabins. I was in the initial team that built AWS.
Today AWS contributes more than 60% to Amazon's profit. The stock price has gone 300x. Amazon's buildings have changed the skyline of downtown Seattle. Jeff Bezos went on to become the world's richest man.
There were about a hundred H1B visa holders like me in the initial team of Amazon. Good luck building companies and wealth without these 'indentured servants'
Vice President JD Vance breaks down the data:
"If you are working as an H-1B visa in the United States of America, you’re earning $20,000 less than an American citizen hired in the same position. If you were brought in by one of these foreign outsourcing firms, you’re making $48,000 less than an American citizen in a similar position. So I’m sure that everybody here understands the game that is being played. You bring in indentured servants from outside the country, you lay off American workers and, if you’re a corporation, you make a ton of money by under cutting the wages of American workers, replacing them with people who frankly shouldn’t be in the United States of America to begin with."

Yea I have already tested and we work over meshtastic level radios. We even run a Dallas based MANET at around my office and the house.
Privacy coins are only as private as the systems used to access them.
Real privacy requires rethinking how we connect and communicate at the deepest levels.
You have to question everything…from the chip inside your phone to the cables under the sea.
Let’s break it down.
Phones
→ Can have hidden chips (you’ll never see them).
→ The baseband firmware (which connects to cell towers) is a black box.
→ Can track you even when “off” or in airplane mode.
Firmware
→ Usually closed-source & no way to audit.
→ Can be compromised before it ever reaches you.
→ Even if you wipe your device, this part stays untouched.
WiFi & Cellular
→ Controlled by telcos.
→ Every connection you make is logged: where, when, for how long.
→ VPNs don’t fix it - you’re still going through them.
The Internet
→ It runs on infrastructure - cables, routers, satellites - built and owned by states and corporations.
→ Every message you send, no matter how encrypted, passes through systems designed to log and watch.
So yeah. Even if you’re using a privacy coin… Even if the blockchain hides your data…The device you use, the networks you connect to and the infrastructure underneath are already „watching“.
The privacy is broken before the transaction even reaches the blockchain.
That’s the core issue.
I’m not saying privacy coins are bad - far from it.
But we have to stop confusing protocol-level privacy with real-world privacy.
Real privacy starts from the ground up:
- Open-source, auditable hardware
- Firmware you can build or verify
- Mesh or Bluetooth networks not telcos
- Local-first communication: neighbor → village → city → world
Like a „mushroom“ mycelium network… it spreads from what you trust and control.
Not from cloud servers or app stores.
Until we rebuild every layer of how we connect, privacy will remain an illusion.

Privacy won’t just be a moat for chains, it’ll be the moat for open societies.
If everyday payments are traceable forever for anyone to see, we’ve already lost the plot.
That’s why we build.

In just 2 days we have a super star who has taken real ownership:
- She's reading the specs.
- She's checking and reviewing what needs to get done.
- She's coordinating front-end work.
- She's almost completely removed the UI layer from my plate.
Its not just about what you build, its about who you build it with.
