If you’re begging for the state to surveil and criminally prosecute people who disagree with you, you’re on the wrong side of history.

I did NOT mean it was useless, I am sorry for the poor wording on a longer article. What I meant is that having more monero nodes have a benefit to end-users syncing their XMR wallets as a CDN. So having a node requirement with the miner was one of the community suggestions. Proof of "useful" work in this case. As opposed to purely solving math problems.

The point here is that if people are duking it out with buying more and more hash power, then those resources should ALSO include a node which benefits the end-user. It's not "mine or node", the suggestion was "mine + node".

That’s one hell of a Smash Burger

The year is 1215.

England under King John is marked by heavy taxation, failed military campaigns (notably in France), and disputes with the church.

The elites are discontent.

The barons with military followings and independent wealth saw the kings arbitrary taxation and justice as threats to their autonomy and property.

The barons rebel, occupy London, and force King John to negotiate.

Due to this pressure King John relents and the Magna Carta is signed at Runnymede in June.

Core clauses:

1. No taxation without the consent of the barons.

2. Due process rights for the aristocracy.

3. Limits on arbitrary imprisonment.

4. Protection of the church from royal interference.

Now let’s run it back turbo.

The year is 2025.

The American state holds the legal monopoly on money issuance, taxation, and regulation. Faces growing strain from debt, inflation pressures, social upheaval and geopolitical costs.

An ascendant elite is discontent.

A concentrated group of early adopters, miners, whales, and infrastructure builders who control large reserves of btc. Possess ideological cohesion and can marshall significant technological capacity and economic influence.

A crisis (financial panic, debt rollover failure, or runaway inflation) forces the state to deal.

Bitcoiners, like the barons, leverage their position of strength and control over a large, mobile pool of wealth, plus the option to exit into a parallel system to demand concessions.

As the sovereign debt crisis rages a Bitcoin carta is signed.

Core clauses:

1. Legal recognition of self-custody rights

2. Tax clarity or exemptions for certain transactions

3. Guarantees on privacy for non-custodial use

4. Limits on capital controls for BTC holders

Like the Magna Carta before it this treaty sets legal, societal and historical precedent for the better part of a millennium.

Game. Blouses.

🚨 Google Play Store is BANNING ALL NON-CUSTODIAL WALLETS whose developers do not have a FinCEN registration, state banking license, or MiCA license.

This means AML/KYC for non-custodial wallets in the US & EU.

“When you grow up & you become incurious, you stop having a true-false framework run in your head & you have an us-them framework run in your head. And I think that's it. Bitcoin people are people who are searching for truth & everyone else is us versus them." nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs

Right. It’s because this is a plea and a plea is not a judicial decision. Had they lost in court and been found guilty than that would have set precedent. This is a negotiated settlement to avoid trial.
