True. Blinded by the possible profits too many people forgot about it and started treating Larry like he is some kinda good uncle 😂

That was my thought as well..for them to buy it up it's better to tank it somehow to grab coins from panicking crowd. Fud is their only weapon. This blow came right after the halving..let's watch how it plays out against the limited supply that is something beyond all this "control freaks". Isn't it all disgusting as fuck. They really treat people like stupid kids that have to be always controlled and punished.

My morning thought:
The harder the state attacks privacy of cyberspace natives, the more resilient and more powerful the resistance will be. The battlefield which is people's right for privacy not only to transact freely but to own their data is more leveled up than ever before.
There is thousands if not tens of thousands super talented coders and devs that will invent new solutions that the state will have no fast answer against.
This is the CyberErA that Sovereign Individual book was describing, where individuals with use of computers code and Ai become super powerful.
The State will try to reverse it using it's outdated laws and power projection but this time around the process can't be reversed.
It's like #bitcoin network - it is too late to shut is down. The beast of the code that Satoshi gave to the world is too powerful.
That's the beauty of code I always believed in.
BRING IT ON.
Plus now they want BTC since their Wall Street guys got in. Little man has to be too scared to touch it. Also this comes in sync with attacks on students and is a broader axis of actions against any sort of privacy and self ownership of data. This is my belief.
I think he is right...everybody got relaxed mid-battle. Especially after ETF and mainstream moment of btc. The attacks will keep on coming.
Say it loud my friend. Way too many people started thinking that in fact it is a crime. Fuck FED.
Scary vision that is becoming reality. The fight for Bitcoin is entering a new level. Straight after halving...not long after ETFs and Wall Street gangsters entered the space. They want total control over something they don't fully understand.

Everyone who goes non kyc route. ETF safe btc will be promoted to oblivion.
I am doing all I can. I don't think I complain. Those are facts I wrote about. I believe strongly that collision/brutal one/ with current criminal fiat system won't be avoided and prayers for justice through fair legislation are an illusion. These people are criminals and they will make no compromise. We will never be friends. Look how they beat up their own young men and women, intellectual future of US.
Either #bitcoin code breaks them or we will end up in the worst kinda slavery ever known to humanity.Of course each freedom fighter has to do his job : devs, activists, hodlers, cypherpunks...ordinary people like me. May be if instead of price only goes up mantra more bitcoiners would spit this raw and unpleasant truth out we would be in a better position.
Since US law enforcement agencies have been able to identify a money laundering offence involving this particular wallet, then they are well equipped to detect such crimes, and there is no need to criminalise mixers or #bitcoin wallets as a technology and its developers in general.
This is exactly what we talk about in our meetings with regulators: we understand that US law enforcement has all the tools to track #Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain. That is why real criminals, and even more so oligarchs, use completely different schemes to launder dirty money.
Besides, Western intelligence services are diligently training dictatorial regimes how to recognise both traditional banking and crypto-assets transactions, so the oligarchs have this knowledge from the intelligence services under their control in non-democratic countries. They don't want and don’t need to use such tools.
And to be precise, I definitely think it's very harmful to promote or ask oligarchs, criminals to use your privacy payment tools. It gives more opportunities to weaponise this kind of rhetoric by any kind of government.
Our 15 years of human rights practice shows that real oligarchs prefer other tools for laundering dirty money. For example, the daughter of dictator Nursultan #Nazarbayev, Dariga #Nazarbayeva - #UK law enforcement authorities failed in their attempts to hold her accountable for money laundering. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/apr/08/uk-agency-loses-case-against-ex-kazakh-president-family-aliyev-nazarbayev
Kazakhstani regime used political lobbyists, expensive Western law firms, and the Kazakhstani state apparatus to succeed in laundering her dirty money.
This scheme works for the oligarchs, people who have stolen billions from the budget of a country where their family members have been in power for decades, politically persecuting any dissent, torturing and killing.
They do not need mixers, they have perfectly mastered money laundering schemes through investments in expensive real estate and consultations with former higher officials, top Western law firms.
Mixers and self-hosted wallets, on the other hand, are used by activists who are financially excluded by authoritarian regimes and do not have the privilege to use banking services in general due to political repression.
Moreover, the knowledge of US intelligence agencies is used to financially exclude regime critics and their family members both domestically and transnationally. This is exactly what #Turkey, #Kazakhstan and other regimes do all the time, sharing knowledge gained from Western partners with #Russia, #Iran, #China to repress dissenters abroad.
In less than 5 minutes Kazakhstan blocks fundraising via bank account or @stripe for families of political prisoners, so bitcoin p2p transactions and mixers are currently the only instrument to protect human rights in such authoritarian countries. Regimes can trace such transactions, but they can't stop them and so far it has helped save lives.
Therefore, an effective fight against money laundering would begin not with the criminalisation of privacy payment tools and their developers, but with ending the impunity of authoritarian regimes and their oligarchs in using legal schemes to circumvent sanctions through the banking systems of third countries. 
We all know that they are not after real money laundering. That is done using Fiat currencies that are harder to track. The system that goes after mixers, wallets and devs is the same system that launders money in Ukraine, it's the same system that bits and terrorizes it's students for opposing Genocide of Israeli Nazis. So don't expect justice from regulators who work for this system and central planners. This way will never be successful- it's an illusion.

For sure. They want to have total control over #bitcoin Now when Wall Street is in it was to be expected.
Privacy is under attack on every level : #bitcoin , social media and messaging applications.
The FIAT cartel is coming after everything that supports our privacy online.
This is the WAR that #cypherpunk OGs were talking about.
It will be long and ugly.
The cyberspace is the frontier.
