Life gets better when you take action to change your situation.

That action may be different for everyone. The important thing is that you do something.

Here are a few ideas:

Stop being tracked by your mobile device: econoalchemist.com/post/mobile-pr…
Start mining non-KYC #bitcoin at home:

Get outside. Have some fun. Spend time with your family. Life is short, make it worth while, be ungovernable.

7 months of continuous run time, even with a furnace-style filter in line. I'll probably start removing the fans & checking the boards every 90 days.
Decided to add a second ASIC using the existing infrastructure from the first install. Kept the enclosure pretty simple this time.
Even with a second ASIC, the noise levels are not much louder. The biggest difference right now is that I have the intake ducting disconnected because the air inside my house is cooler than outside. Right outside the door its only 55dB.

#bitcoin is fungible because #Bitcoin is neutral. It makes no difference to the network what gov't issued list denounces a UTXO. Applying externalities onto the network only serves to exclude oneself from the network, with plenty of room to route around the obstruction. #marathon
"Taint" is a non-quantifiable, opaque scare tactic used by rent-seeking chainanalysis companies to manufacture crises so they can sell their solutions for problems nobody has.
The existence of a traceable history for each UTXO does not mean it's non-fungible. This is where common sense accounting practices are conflated with fungibility.
