Replying to Avatar Dave Nicholls

He's irrelevant if I want to spend BTC. He can't stop me. Powerful politicians attempted to stop me taking payments from Russian citizens, and they failed miserably, thanks to the mighty BTC, which is not under their (or Saylor's) control. That's precisely why I love BTC

they absolutely CAN create a regulatory environment where people are unwilling to transact p2p because they fear repercussions

CAN in capital letters looks big, but is it convincing? Please explain what regulations you are concerned about. I advise you to sell your Bitcoin if you believe what you have written, because if powerful actors CAN control it, they WILL. Personally, I see that Bitcoin is more powerful than Michael Saylor, or Keir Starmer, or Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin. These people are just men. They are not ubermensch.

people ALREADY dont use Bitcoin for transactions because capital gains reporting requirements are prohibitive.

you legit think if self custody requires KYC and proof of funds to actually spend

its not a problem for sovereign p2p use?
