Former presidential advisor Pippa Malmgren on the legalization of Bitcoin:

"If you make crypto and Bitcoin legal [...] you can't hold them anonymously, you have to declare them."

"You're not going to be able to escape the reach of the US Government. [...] And because we're in the data age, you can't have Bitcoin accounts that nobody knows about."

"It's on your phone, its detectable, and again, we've got a government now full of tech bros that know how to read your digital twin incredibly easily."

Legalization always has been a Trojan Horse for censorship.

Authorities will always assume they have authority, even when they don't. That authority is ONLY applicable to specifics subject matter over specific jurisdictions. To defend ourselves against these paper tyrants we need to understand who we are and where we stand, this who has, or doesn't have, jurisdiction over us and the subject matter at hand.

Public entities created through public paper operating on public hardware using public are already known counterparties to every engagement. While, private parties created through private paper contracts that contract with their private peers only through private portals on private hardware can stay in the private domain.

It's essential that one sees both sides of this coin in order to ride the third side, the edge between them both.

Bingo. At best, the internet is the web hosts' jurisdiction. But if we have the right to try to see on our own computers and to be our own weapons, then not even that!

"....you can't have Bitcoin accounts that nobody knows about..."

Most people reading who are not into Bitcoin probably think that is possible, while mostly it's not, if you do it the right way.

If you seriously believe that its possible to use any digital device anonymously in the face of the US Government you have clearly not been paying attention for the past 15 years.

So the playbook is that the US government is going to enforce its crypto laws on the whole population of the world, US citizen or not?

Not one set of rules decided by the US though. Each country made their own rules. Many were similar but some were different.

I think it was called corona for a reason and is true that not all countries had the same restrictions but most of western world had simmilar rules imposed on their citizens.

After 80 years of FIAT system (fractionate reserve debt based cyst-em), and by throwing all money they made into the stock market they were able to control most or all corporations in the world. Governments are, indeed, corporations that have subcorporations registered on them. So, these masters or owners just decided they have crowned themselves thus it was called coronavirus.

btw, Antarctica treaty was also signed by 194 countries lots of time ago ...try to go there...u know, they do it for the penguins. How nice the owners are.

My point was that the virus eventually called COVID 19 is a type of corona virus.

Coronaviruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans and birds, they cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS and COVID-19.

I’m pointing this out as you are making an incorrect link between the type of virus and the ‘masters of the universe’ calling it corona because they used it to crown themselves. Your proposition here does not hold up under even the most basic scrutiny.

I’m sorry. I forgot. All those people died for unspecified, unrelated reasons.

I have been paying plenty of attention. If you are so confident then why don't you share with the class?

You can create a Bitcoin wallet offline, not use any device, receive bitcoin without any government knowing who received what. At least, that is my assumption.

Anything fragile enough to be taken away by the state wasn't a right. If Bitcoin needs daddy government's permission to exist, then it was never any better than fiat.
