Why unnecessary Jack?
well, shit
Can you blame them? Current USA administration has got to go what a complete 🤡 show we have.
insanity...
It feels incredibly satisfying to be using phoenix through obtainium today.
yup, it's self-censorship
I think their own wallet is actually illegal in the EU, right? As it's anonymous.
I think so too
I think they have until 2025 before the law is fully implemented, so they have some in-between time, maybe.
Yes, in the meanwhile we need to change definitely communication to self custody and not enhancing so many custodians (even though they are practical)
Genuine question: would Block, COPA, et al lawyers write a position paper on why this isn’t necessary?
Forget the papers mate, take the hint.
They’re not just randomly squeezing - they’re squeezing to stop off-ramps from fiat and there’s only one reason they would do that.
Shit is gonnna blow.
A bit more context...
Bending the knee based on fear is exactly what the government wants
Wanna take it over then?
Seems an overreaction but can't blame people not wanting to get extradited to US then spending years fighting a possible lengthy jail sentence for writing some software.
The samurai fight is integral to the continued freedom of Bitcoin and Bitcoiners. We should begin to build a war chest to mount their legal defense. If we defeat them in court now the precedent will set. We fought with holdnot now we should find with samurai. We need to band together for this short time and move in force against this authoritarian regime. The presidential race will not save bitcoin in the U.S. only a resounding blow in the legal system will set things back on track. If we don’t fight now it will be down the line when they come after self hosted miners as “money transmitters”
Samurai’s indictment is a miss step by the regulatory bodies as samurai technically holds no currency/money in. The process. Stand together bitcoiners let’s build the donation for legal assistance now!
The Samourai fight is everything right now.
The behavior of these agencies is identical to narcissists losing their supply. It’s never the actions of the narcissist, next up: propaganda, gaslighting, scapegoating, QE, conflating bitcoin with crypto securities, wars, distractions, all resources by the matrix serfs that have no idea they’re funding the problems they believe these agencies want to solve. Someone please send me to another planet or dimension.
wow
frfr I’m going to keep my channel open but with all the sats on Phoenix’s side
But why? Monetary policies infringed upon or just standard government overreach?
Maybe unnecessary, but understandable. Why sit and let tyrants fuck with you if your identity is known and you perhaps don’t already have the fuck you money to fight them?
Thought:
Good thing I emptied Phoenix wallets and only currently have empties floating around with no emotional or financial attachment
(About a month ago)
meanwhile federal creditz steals your money to fund invalid programs like “curing cancer” or “ww3” and “extinction of humanityz”
No one wants to deal with the US anti-freedom agencies.
WoS made the right decision, so did Acinq. More and more companies will decide it’s better business to stop dealing with this BS altogether rather than have a permanent threat to be illegally sanctioned or arrested by a rogue state.
It was necessary, and it’ll become a trend.
Unless the constitution and the people rights are being respected again, only the serf companies bending to every whim of a corrupt government will remain in the USA.
What will the government's next dispute be? Perhaps to motivate other states to do the same?
