UK seized new powers:

--Police will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto from a suspect.

--seize anything, such as written passwords, flash drives, or memory sticks

--destroy crypto assets, such as privacy coins, for the "public good", like Monero

--goes into effect today

This has the text copy-pasted from the official UK website, but without having to have your IP address literally connect to the official cybercrime division website, (ironically, I seized their text)

They see it coming. Steady lads..

What is this rebelnet.me platform?

Layer 0 for encryption as identity. So it allows cross-communication among any layer 1 protocols, including Nostr. We’re using it to promote Nostr to new audiences and spread it across the internet. We’d love to have you get involved, let me know I’ll whitelist your npub.

Sounds interesting - yea sure, whitelist me!

sorry sent you DM so I'd see reply for sure. you're on!

Actuellement oui après il les revendent aux enchères au prix fort comme durant la pandémie

Does anybody actually vote for this shit or do they just do it?

Nobody sane votes for this shit.

What usually happens to get bs like this passed is a proposal has huge amendment slapped on hours before voting so no one has the time to read it.

It sucks for those who get their Monero seized, but it's better for the rest of us because that just decreases inflation even more and makes our Monero more valuable. Also, even if they seized my flash drive, my seed for my wallet is in my key pass database file, which I'm the only one who knows the password and it's not written down. Oh yeah, its quite long too, so best of luck.

This will be abused in the near future

So zero checks or balances 😳

You only have to be *suspected* of crime for your Bitcoin to be seized, or your passwords or computer storage to be confiscated

UK has fallen a long way from the principles they inspired starting with “Innocent until proven guilty”

Sounds like the best thing to do if you're in the UK and the police steal your shit, is to shot or stab them to protect your private property.

They are literally operating the same way as criminals and should be treated the same way if they decide to do that

basically a declaration of war against bitcoiners in the UK...

I guess it is important to hide\ memorise your special numbers 😏

Why does the universe hate UK people so much? Terrible weather, ugly girls, awful food, full video surveilance and now this? Enough is enough!

Monero have no limited supply. Good luck in destroying crypto.

Who cares. Gold doesn't either and it was money for thousands of years. What matters is issuance is decentralized and requires PoW.

Bitcoin is non-fungible and has no privacy. It's a CBDC-lite surveillance chain.

People will get it in more years i hope.

let them pile up those useless monkey chip.
