Crypto Anarchy

Fifty things to do NOW - the following is a highly valuable list of 50 things to do NOW, taken from the terrific crypto-agorist website, Anarplex. Find out what YOU can do RIGHT NOW to help build the Second Realm/counter-economy/vonu minicultures
How to buy, earn and spend KYC-free Bitcoin and Monero (without ID or a bank account) - discover methods for purchasing, acquiring, and using Bitcoin and Monero without the need for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification
How to survive outside of the state with Crypto Agorism - fair and free markets for food, jobs, housing, healthcare, mail, sim cards & more – no government ID or state permit required
KYC Will Not Protect Us, Bitcoin And Encryption Will - as regulators attempt to institute KYC and AML rules at the peril of our personal data, Bitcoin and encryption offer salvation.
Roadblocks to obtaining government-issued ID - state's ID monopoly and KYC regulations stop millions from accessing necessities like finances, jobs, healthcare, and more. No alternative methods or appeal processes exist if the state refuses to issue an ID. This exclusionary system prevents individuals, regardless of skills or efforts, from entering and regularizing their situation as adults
Second Realm Ideas [Tor] - a collection of Second Realm ideas (KYC-free agorist services)
The dangers of “decentralized” ID systems - many of these protocols rely on government ID as a base layer (as proof of name, age or address, referred to as “Verifiable credentials”). In this system, users are required to upload a video with their passport or national ID card. After this, their name, age or address is marked as verified. This reliance on government IDs means that DIDs cannot protect users against state surveillance
The rarely discussed dangers of KYC and what you can do about it [Tor] - many people don't talk about it but unfortunately it's everywhere. Without KYC documents, opportunities to freely participate in the economy and even survive are limited. KYC is required for jobs, housing, healthcare and more. In addition, many people can't complete KYC, as they don't have any government-issued IDs and therefore must rely on the gray market to have access to necessities such as finding work, apartments and medicine. This text clarifies the rarely discussed reasons why KYC is harmful and what can be done about it.
The Vision of Cryptoanarchy - talk given at "the web of phronesis" in 2020, a conference by the institute of network society, china academy of art.
True Names Not Required: On Identity and Pseudonymity in Cyberspace - the cypherpunks recognized that a free society can not function if identity is rigid and known to all. A free society requires the option to selectively reveal yourself to the world, or not reveal yourself at all
Why the state’s monopoly on identity is more dangerous than Google, Facebook and Microsoft [Tor] - while the tracking by Google, Facebook and Microsoft is definitely disturbing and can even put people in danger, the state’s data economy is even worse. Many people don’t talk about this, even though it affects millions of people’s daily lives
The Slavery Contract [Tor] - argues that modern governments impose a system of laws that obligate citizens to comply with various regulations, effectively creating a master-servant dynamic where individuals have little say in the terms of their governance
The Occult Arena of Law [Tor] - It is said that all the world’s a stage and us men and women merely players. In the world of law and legalism that old saying is paramount. But to what extent does the public realize its interaction with the modern legal systems of today is merely an elaborate performance, rigged to subjugate you through mystical utterances and titles?
