Found you guys a couple weeks back on this modern podcast app. I’ve been stacking for years. The recent (apparent) attack on BTC-off-ramp banks had my wife asking me about fiat off-ramps, in case this trend continues. I acted cool, and made a vague reference to Local Bitcoins & BTC ATM’s. I’ve focused on private stacking, and would like to maintain that privacy if liquidity requirements warrant some selling. Would you mind breaking down some ways to off-ramp privately to fiat?

This episode makes me feel really great! :D /s I have purchased essentially all of my Bitcoin through Cash App. I really like their card because I can round up to the nearest dollar on purchases into Bitcoin, and I have it set to auto-buy 10% of deposits in Bitcoin. Now, I don't use this as my main card, and only add $ to it as needed, but this takedown of them really makes me second guess using them.

Is that 1% number real for how much energy btc uses? It feels like there would be so many appliances and other inputs that there would be 300 things that all would be at 1% or more. How is it calculated?
