There is actually something new in this statement from the FBI:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/fbi-warns-americans-against-using-non-kyc-crypto-money-transmitting-services

If you actually read the second and third paragraphs, they are quite explicitly telling you that the primary risk is that *they themselves* are going to steal your money.

So by 'something new' I mean that this is the first time you are explicitly being threatened with confiscation. It would not be surprising if this is the start of a trend, but, who knows.

I can’t zap you 😢

Hellloooo waxwing

Any interpretation of this noise is teaching power what it can do

yeah that was what stood out to me also... they are basically declaring war on anyone who dares use money they don't control

Was to be expected. Right?

6102 soon coming

It’s illegal to possess certain numbers and words in a particular order. 🤣 oh please let them try for a bit just for the lolz

Well, if it helps people write down their mnemonic and actually care about deterministic code, I suppose the FBI did us a favor i those paragraphs.

Probably being dense, what do you mean by 'deterministic code' there? Reproducible builds? Bip32 and descendants?

* deterministic / reproducible builds

now let the fbi use something like the rumored Lavender AI on the purchase history of people

NOT YOUR KEYS... FBI'S COINS.

I’d read it, but Shitcoin Ragazine doesn’t like my ad blocker… 🙄

It works with Ublock Origin, which imo is the most effective adblocker.

What do you expect from the fucking Enclave... 🤣

You can just see them becoming those bastards. 😂

This just in: BTC WARNS FBI THAT THEIR WEAK ATTEMPTS TO INSTILL FEAR INTO NORMIES WILL ONLY FORCE BETTER SOFTWARE TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE.

You shall not steal.
