Their definition is literally insane:
This is *literally* the criminalization of #Bitcoin in its entirety. Running the software in any form means you are committing a crime. nostr:note1sy3fgdthmkjvezja07f3xldjcrd87xskljdwnthfawpqghur8n0sger6q8

So one could basically be a drug dealer without dealing drugs?
If I were to hand someone a $20, then have them give me a different bill, is that money laundering?
That depends if you’re trying to hide a crime by doing so. But the term and the act of stopping/solving crime by blocking such actions is retarded af. Unless you enact a police state, criminals will always be able to trade for resources to aid in the crimes
They don't even use cash all the time, either. Land, fine art, vehicles, exotic animals, firearms, people...
"We can't just accept reality! We have to justify the existence of our outdated laws!"
If they could make oxygen illegal for their enemies to breathe, they would.
It’s all about the economics of violence. That’s exactly why they can’t make oxygen illegal for their enemies, imo.
They can't make oxygwn illegal for their enemies to breathe, because they would bankrupt themselves enforcing it. If that's what you mean by "economics of violence."
Put another way, they can't police nature. This should inform us on the most responsible usage and promotion of bitcoin. We should encourage usage of bitcoin in ways that make it elemental. AND WE SHOULD DISCOURAGE USAGE OF BITCOIN THAT MAKE IT WEAK. AND PEOPLE WITH A PLATFORM HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO.
Yes, and that is what I mean by “economics of violence.”
Little to no chance this is merely a coincidence that it comes out just at the right time to set precedent for Samourai
Code is speech.
1st amendment applies.
We have to pushback.
I think this could be ultimately good. Let’s see how they enforce the unforceable.
The "And then they fight you" stage is happening.
We need this, and then we win.
Fuck this dystopia 🖕
I knew the ISPs were laundering this whole time. Lets all report them for sending money without a license.
They're criminalizing open source as a whole. It ultimately won't work, but the clown mob can cause a lot of damage in the meantime
Fucking ridiculous. I think we are approaching the event horizon of a mass awakening. We are on the winning side. For freedom.
But... hey... meanwhile, there are some who say we're overreacting.
Cuz... why????
