I believe the DOJ is selling bitcoin to spite Trump.
But don't misinterpret my observation. The less bitcoin in the hands of govt, the better off the people will be.
I think the US govt should lose the power of the money press and become weak af.
A weak US is not the end of the world, and it might be better for Americans. Few will want to come here if there's no more Treasury-induced free lunch.
That would be an interesting twist. And I agree it's a good thing; if the usg wants Bitcoin they should mine it or buy it (with money printed out of thin air naturally). All the coin they have now is stolen.
I think we can confidently say that all money the USG currently has is stolen, but this is especially true with the bitcoin.
A weak US has a harder time protecting its Constitution. Bitcoin, gold, or any other form of currency still falls under national security.
I disagree. The whole point of our federal republic was that the federal govt should be weaker than the state governments, with no one in control of the money. What protects the constitution are the states cooperating through the federal govt but decisions being made by people in their own communities and in the state capitals.
The consitution was written to protect the people from the fed govt and to encourage cooperation with mutual protection from outside threats (Europe).
Correct and in addition too...
It is the duty of everyone that has taken The Oath and that is the model during the time of peace. I believe we haven't been at peace for years.
If a state has troops on Title 32 orders, the President can request them to be placed on Title 10 orders to then be activated and deployed. States can also declare war, activate troops, request troops from other states, and request active duty marines. During the time of war defending the Constitution other than offensive attacks can also include declaring devolution which is a defensive tactic similar to castling in chess.
State law, federal law, and military law can all fall into play during the transition of peace time to war time if the Constitution is under great threat.
I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump declared the Insurrection Act on 6 Jan. 2020 when he asked them to disband verbally and also in a Tweet.
For the most part the general public understands conventional war and barely understands a cold war. Having them understand an unconventional war is going to take years on what we did to protect the states, nation, and Constitution.
I have to noodle on this. say more.
