Is there anything we were taught that isn't a lie?

I don't know. Is trap a dumb thing?

Whoever pays capital gains on bitcoin out of fear of being called a criminal is dumb anyway. I don't need cowards on my side.

Whoever is greedy or lazy or dumb enough to skip bitcoin and go for shitcoin casinos, even if made in USA, for whatever excuses or incentives, is also a war mongerer, stateist, domocrat, socialist-commie, vaxxed and coward. Do you want such a person to lose money (which was stolen or earned doing evil jobs in the first place) with shitcoins and have less power than you, or do you want him become richer than you with bitcoin, without understanding it, just by following incentives imposed by the saint state if Trump imposed bitcoin on them instead?

Omg this is so dumb 🤦🏻‍♂️

A problem with most pets is you outlive them. Dogs, cats, etc.

The problem with parrots is if you don’t plan right, they outlive you.

When I was little, like 9 years old, my main dream was to have parrots. I pushed my father to get them, and he did. And I took great care of them for a decade. I kept their cages open so they could go inside or outside as they pleased. I pet them, played with them, etc.

And then I went to college. My father got a new girlfriend, and they got a cat, which they named fucking Paris Hilton (girlfriend’s idea).

And it was a Bengal cat. An aggressive, energetic type. Paris was actually really cool on her own, but not with the parrots. You have to be careful with cats and parrots standing atop open cages. The parrots are happy to say hi and the cat is happy to play a predator. Can’t have that.

So my father started to lock the parrots in their cages. The macaw became noticeable unhappy first. The amazon was stoic for longer. But I was like “I’m in college, and then I’m going to live in a small apartment, and they can’t stay here or anywhere.”

So I did a ton of research and found them new homes that had the expertise to take care of them. Parrots are often snappy toward people they don’t know, and both of these parrots would bite people other than me. So they needed a lot of resocialization.

I loved them so much, but I would be so careful to advise parrots as pets unless one was *really* equipped to have them.

So the Trump's 'crypto* EO is out, and I'm seeing lots of weak bitches cry that its a shitcoin reserve.

Given the fact that the proposed digital assets stockpile would possibly be built on *seized* coins, let me give you a quick introduction to forfeiture law, and why crying for daddy to please please make its pile of flying horseshit "bitcoin only" *literally* the most retarded thing you could be wishing for, ever.

Forfeiture law – or civil asset forfeiture, to be precise – is this fun little game the government plays in which it does not have to accuse you of a crime to confiscate your property.

Instead of accusing you of a crime, the Government claims that the asset itself has facilitated a crime, and can therefore be seized by the Government.

In civil asset forfeiture, there is no innocent until proven guilty. To get your property back, *you* have to prove that the Government is wrong – which turns out pretty complicated seeing how its impossible to prove a negative.

Civil asset forfeiture results in cases that are not filed against a person, but filed against the property itself. This results in fun little cases like US vs. Binance Account XYZ, or US vs. 123 Wilmington Drive.

To extend this idea to Bitcoin, in a civil forfeiture case, the US Government is in theory able to seize *any bitcoin* that has *ever* come out of a criminal transaction.

Made some bitcoin for selling a service? Bought some bitcoin on a P2P exchange? Unless you checked that the UTXO you received has never touched a criminal transaction in its entire history, your coins can be confiscated, and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.

As Cato Institute points out in its piece on civil forfeiture reform, forfeiture law is routinely misused to enrich the Government – Philadelphia, for example, has seized over 1000 homes, over 3000 vehicles, and over $44M in cash over an 11 year period. In 2010, the city tried to seize *an entire fucking house* because a woman's grandson sold less than $200 of weed out of the basement.

If you think that taxes are bad, civil asset forfeiture is straight up evil.

It doesn't matter whether you participated in a crime. It doesn't matter whether you know that someone else participated in a crime. If it involved your property, even if said property was fully legally acquired, the Government will come and take it.

Civil asset forfeiture is the most insane Government funding technique that is out there, and you most definitely do not want this declared as a strategic means to pump the Government's bitcoin bags.

You are *literally* asking the Government to steal your coins with a practice that *every* libertarian advocate wants to see abolished.

🚨I don't think the Fed or IRS exist any more, you just haven't been told.👀

don’t worry digital asset stockpile just means all of your personal data stored in one place

Not a bad first step, I'd say.

THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE IRRELEVANT IS TO OPT OUT.

YES. THIS WILL HURT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. BY DESIGN.

In this it seems that I was not wrong, the USA will become a world power in shitcoins.

Not quite true. Bukele did USD (worst shitcoin) + Bitcoin.

It is not possible for the animals of this earth to leap into the ultimate truth in a single step just like that.

Even yourself, when you had your first suspicion that something in your neighbourhood/country/world was not quite right, did you at once point to the paper money as the cause? When you first heard of bitcoin, did you at once think, yes, this gamer nerd creation will solve all my work problems and will end all wars in Asia, Africa, and Middle East?

Try reading the buddhist Four Noble Truths (4 lines) and at once agreeing to them fully and unconditionally and at the same time honestly saying to yourself that knowing and understanding those truths has at once made your life not just better but actually perfect.

Same with people. Upon first time touching bitcoin, first they need to doubt, to say something like "yeah, bitcoin seems to have something in it, but perhaps it is exaggerated, perhaps crypto with some USD aspects is better because it also contains sugar, vaccines and big pharma without which we would all have died of starvation, saddness, covid, cancer, Alzheimer's and all that."

You need to be intensly thinking about the 4 Noble Truths and challenging all your doubts about them very practically every day for a long time, and you will come to that ultimate enlightenment. Same with bitcoin. Many will never understand it, but at least they need time to get used to it. They did have a decade and and a half already for that, but hey, you had 2500 years for the Four Noble Truths, but you said that is some remote alternative thing, christian, muslim, pagan gods (=paper money, a.k.a. USD) are just fine for me, not perfect, but the best we have.

This turned into a loaded message unintentionally. Nothing I can do, truth is hard to keep for oneself.
