Governments speaking out against non-KYC money and making AN arrest is a complete bluff.

If .5% of Americans are using censorship-resistant and permission-less money that can’t be stopped, then that’s ≈1.65 million people they would need to stifle.

The federal government is fully incapable of enforcement on even a fraction of that number of individuals. The Federal Bureau of prisons is already at capacity with more than 100,000 murderers, gang members, robbers and rapists. There is absolutely no room for a new glut of non-violent prisoners and they will never take it there.

They are trying to scare people into compliance because they know they cannot enforce it. I absolutely don’t give a fuck what these agencies say. I’m not changing a thing about what I do. Fuck them and fuck every single one of their decrees.

I grew up within and participating in the illegal #cannabis movement. A movement where hundreds of thousands of liberty-minded individuals decided to disregard decrees (at our own peril) and simply overwhelm the establishment and their unjust decrees. It worked. I will do the exact same thing with #Bitcoin and you should too.

If you’re scared, stop it. If you’re thinking of changing your behavior, don’t. Just move smart and continue to do what you know is right. Moral law > everything else.

Life is wonderful if we ignore the politicians and focus on love and friends and family and #bitcoin and #nostr

The best use case for inscriptions is inscribing the names of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients into individual sats on #Bitcoin

That way, the FBI will be forced to completely ignore any transactions involving these sats.

We’re sacrificing fungibility, but gaining privacy.

Constitutional law minded and aware bitcoiners are hot.

Agreed.

Where is there no government jurisdiction?

no computer program will save you from totalitarianism. you have to get rid of your leaders by any means necessary. physical removal. without a computer.

Monero is your way out of their jurisdiction.

How is @SamouraiWallet a "money transmitting business" if users never surrender their private keys? How is there a "transfer" if users retain custody?

Otherwise, why isn't an ISP a MTB? Or a miner? Or a node operator?

Announcing new law by imprisonment is disgusting.

You know it feels like hardly a single day passes without feeling like I’m being totally fucked by my own government. Family man, entrepreneur, employer, never been convicted of a crime and I’m being backed into a corner for which there is seemingly no peaceful way out of. The authoritarian wrecking ball is in swing.

That is a lot of assumptions and relative interpretation. Someone who wants to commit a crime will never be swayed by your argument.

And if it takes that much reading into it, it'll never work well with stupid people.

"One is free to do whatever their will, as long as it does not infringe upon another" is far more simple, elegant, says all that that whole paged said and remains clear to those with lower IQ. -- It leaves nothing to be assumed or conviently misinterpreted.
