  • Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

    Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or, SO: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

    Not certain anything is there, but we’ve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

    ETA: Maybe also “we’re going on vacation abroad, State Department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

    I recognize long term relationship is different from mistress, but still




  • The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

    That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.
