E - All of the above
Probably the amendment violated the most, especially. Agencies are out there scooping up data from average, innocent citizens without a warrant. Throw some civil asset forfeiture in there, too. This is why privacy tools and practices are so important…it’s our constitutional right to use them, so that we can be “secure in our effects.”
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
🙄 …and how much energy does trad-fi and fiat banking use? Okay, let’s make it easy, Liz…for starters just tell us how much energy all the ATMs use. Then we’ll look at all the brick-and-mortar bank branches. Then get crazy and see how much energy the military industrial complex uses to defend the fiat ponzi. This could be fun!

Put another way, “We expect taxpayers to only socialize fiat and trad-if losses, like LTCM, or 2008 GFC, etc.”
Pretty rich considering the value of the USD token has dropped 97% since 1913.
Some basic difficulty and hash rate info at the two links below. I think there’s a source for the number of nodes, but can’t find it at the moment. I’ll keep looking.
In my view, nothing is “wrong” with BTC. BTC and XMR have two different use cases, but share some overlapping traits. The best attributes of XMR are ASIC-resistance, decentralization, privacy, fungibility…it’s private digital cash.

Being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Other coins claim to be private, but aren’t private by default, or require multiple steps to achieve privacy. With monero, privacy is essentially automatic.
With #monero, users don’t have a choice. It’s fungible and private…by default.
Amendment III
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
The sooner we build a parallel circular economy, the better.
There’s no constitutional or legal authority for this administration to act in this manner. Congress hasn’t codified or passed any applicable legislation. These operations are completely unlawful. Hopefully, our side has good lawyers to fight this in court.
I think the last sentence is key. The more they try to isolate crypto from tradfi, the stronger the parallel economy will become.
“The US Defense Intelligence Agency, Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are among a wide range of federal agencies known to purchase Americans' private data, including that which law enforcement agencies would normally require probable cause to obtain.”
