⚡️🇬🇧 NEW - People buying cryptocurrency in the UK now need to share their account details or face penalties, new law that came into effect on 1 January, reports BBC.

I've seen quite a few people debunking him.

Four questions to understand:

1. What did bankers and governments think about Bitcoin 5 years ago?

2. What did bankers and governments think about Monero 5 years ago?

3. What do they think today?

4. What changed?

To be fair, both sides said the other would be dead... yet here we are. "Nothing ever happens".

Looking back it’s amazing that we sat in front of this thing for hours everyday to literally be programmed by the government.

The phone and whatever replaces it will be a million times worse unless we stop it.

Just going to leave this here

I agree, it's a great daily driver.

I hear a lot of people mentioning bank apps... are those really necessary? I access bank stuff via web and use a plastic card if need be

Cool, didn’t need the government’s opinion on this nor for them to waste any more time/money talking about this.

I do like the occasional non war related posts from this account!

This 100%

And GrapheneOS isn’t quite there yet for day to day use.

Banking apps don’t work all the time (unless everyone adopts #Bitcoin , it’s a necessary evil), support for Chinese or Japanese keyboards is either horrible or nonexistent, and geolocation for navigation is horrible (yes I try to navigate without it but it’s useful for unfamiliar places especially in cities like #Tokyo #Hongkong or #Bangkok )

"Rothbard considered the classical-liberal solution to the fundamental human problem of protection—of a minimal or night-watchman state, or an otherwise “constitutionally limited” government—as a hopelessly confused and naive idea. Every minimal state has the inherent tendency to become a maximal state, for once an agency is permitted to collect any taxes, however small and for whatever purpose, it will naturally tend to employ its current tax revenue for the collection of ever more future taxes for the same and/or other purposes. Similarly, once an agency possesses any judiciary monopoly, it will naturally tend to employ this privileged position for the further expansion of its range of jurisdiction. Constitutions, after all, are state-constitutions, and whatever limitations they may contain—what is or is not constitutional—is determined by state courts and judges. Hence, there is no other possible way of limiting state power except by eliminating the state altogether and, in accordance with justice and economics, establishing a free market in protection and security services."
