you know they are trying to break you right?

I dunno about you but that is all the motivation I need.

I’m going to be happy, peaceful, thankful, kind and hopeful right in their MFing face.

I meant because you can claim you are you, but are you really you? Do you even Temet Nosce bro?

is this really you?

Burry taking notice

Don't take my word for it, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use Phoenix behind a VPN if the server you go thru is outside the US. How would they know the difference? I think they even have Tor built-in iirc. Not sure if Phoenix will actually block IPs trying to connect from the US or not.

I don't use Phoenix, but I'm guessing you can probably still use it behind Tor or a VPN if you want to?... they just have to officially stop serving US users to protect themselves.

But honestly that is just kicking the can down the road. These things will ultimately have to become decentralized to succeed in the longrun.

Just a few days off twitter and my life is so much improved. Almost as much as when I swore off seed oils.

Man twitter is bad for the mind.

The difference is, murder is a crime. Money laundering is a "crime."

Have you ever met a money laundering victim? Someone can be a victim of theft, but there are no victims of money laundering.

Arresting someone for money laundering because they developed a private transaction tool is like arresting someone for "aiding and abetting murder" because they manufactured the steak knife a murderer used to cut his steak a week before he committed murder.

Adopting the state's framing is losing the battle before a single shot has been fired. Money laundering is not a crime. Crimes have victims. There are no victims of money laundering.

Feels like the end of an era.

If they're plebs today then sure why not

It do be like that

If the transaction itself pays to a certain pool's address, that might be out of band in the context that it's not calculated in the txn fee...certainly more transparent than using a credit card to pay a pool to include a txn.

I have wondered about that...if pools currently monitor the mempool for transactions that pay to their own publicly known addresses. One could pay a small txn fee and have one of the outputs be a certain pool's address, so that pool's incentive to include it is much more than other pools'.
