I think they've been focused on other things, and they've been very receptive to the crypto community.
If enough people make enough noise, I don't see why Mr Trump wouldn't consider abolishing the capital gains tax on spending.
Agree with a twist.
In this case the system adopting BTC is also part of the market I would say, as it happened organically and as each nation and corporation judges independently what is optimal for them.
The problem is that anyone paying attention knows they would have never done so had Bitcoin been private and anonymous.
BTC reserves give them more license to print even more fiat, while encouraging citizens to be even more transparent and exposed due to the complete lack of privacy and weak pseodonymity.
You're being too optimistic here!
Unfortunately I think most just won't ever get it, and they'll go for the only solution they know: rob others through the State.
Man some of you guys really can't take a win lol.
Be happy for the reserve, it'll pump your bags big time.
One thing at a time!
There never was a good Windows version 😁
Erm.. people running away with your sats because it's custodial is the essence of being custodial. That's the tradeoff, you're trusting them.
Why people ever thought getting fiat IOUs from online strangers in return for their perfectly good sats is beyond me.
What did you think would happen?
To say nothing of the part where all the sats just sit on a live wallet on a server.. but then again that's the lightning network as well.
It does, to a point. Unfortunately now transparency has been normalized by the surveillance coins, so simply using Monero is suspicious.
Sad that it's gotten to this, but also, it was entirely predictable.
I beg to differ. They are all not the same and they are better than the alternatives.
We can be better or worse served by the politicians elected.
The problem imo begins when people EXPECT politicians to solve THEIR problems.
Be as anti-State as you wish, the truth is that it's still a very powerful institution.
Political power is a zero-sum game. You can ignore them, but they won't ignore you.
This being the reality of things, it's not a bad idea to have people in power who think more like us.
This is VERY different from not taking responsibility in life, or expecting some politician to fix everything™
Too often in nostr it's all very white and black on this topic.
Be happy we got Bukele, Trump and Milei, and not more leftists. Be happy the world will be a little bit more free in many ways because of this.
Just don't expect them to fix everything. That's just not realistic.
Doesn't legal tender imply that businesses must accept it?
Inequality will always exist.
The question is, is it because the game is rigged and scammy, or because the winners deserve to be there on merit?
And can others climb the ladder and become wealthy with vision, hard work and some luck, or are they barred to do so by onerous regulation, discrimination, artificial barriers, etc?
Sound money should help. But it won't eliminate inequality. Iy will just make inequality the only kind it should be: fair.
By fair I mean, you get out what you put in. And you are rewarded for it.

"Is moving to"?
😁
If you found the experience difficult, imagine what your computer had to go through 😂
No.. you're talking about anonymity, he's talking about privacy.
