Today is Jan 14th so I'm starting a little late but here goes.

It's absolutely mind boggling how good the tools we have available to us today are. Sometimes it's good to take a step back + appreciate the what's being built around us to make using bitcoin in a sovereign manner easy.

Here's a few worth mentioning...
Effective + easy to use coinjoin, available to anyone with an Android phone thanks to @SamouraiWallet. You can even use the same CJ implementation on your laptop and mix straight to cold storage thanks to @SparrowWallet.

Samourai (and VERY soon Sparrow!), enable automated 2 person coinjoins so that you can collaborate with someone on the other side of the planet to literally make every spend a coinjoin.

In light of the increasing frequency of censorship events coupled with awesome guides from bitcoiners like @Diverter_NoKYC + @_k3tan, I've taken steps to become a little more sovereign + less reliant on 'the man'. Here's a few tweets to hopefully inspire you to do the same...

1/n

With the massive rise in @SamouraiWallet Whirlpool usage since the introduction of mobile mixing I've finally got round to mixing some sats and thought I'd document the process for other people taking their first steps poolside that may have felt apprehensive about starting
2/n

First step is to send some sats into your wallet.

Hit the blue + in the bottom right hand corner of the home screen and hit receive.

You will then be given a screen like this.

Scan the QR code or copy the address and paste into whatever wallet you are sending from.
3/n

The transaction should appear in SW almost straight away and you will then need to wait for the transaction to confirm on chain.

Obviously how long this takes depends on the mempool and the fees paid.
