I did check out the link.

I love the idea but there are way way way too many red flags for me to give a shit about this guy. Too much sex talk, for one.

Looks like a rather Godless take on decentralized hedonism rather than a true freedom movement.

You’re speaking to my soul man.

We need to make bitcoiners out of ar least three members of the FSOC…the laws to screw bitcoin were written long ago.

In effect, any corporation holding valuable property can be forced to sell that property if Washington commands it.

It gets better:

12 U.S. Code § 5331 - Mitigation of risks to financial stability

(a) MITIGATORY ACTIONS

If the Board of Governors determines that a bank holding company with total consolidated assets of $250,000,000,000 or more, or a nonbank financial company supervised by the Board of Governors, poses a grave threat to the financial stability of the United States, the Board of Governors, upon an affirmative vote of not fewer than ⅔ of the voting members of the Council then serving, shall—

(1) limit the ability of the company to merge with, acquire, consolidate with, or otherwise become affiliated with another company;

*************(2) restrict the ability of the company to offer a financial product or products;

*************(3) require the company to terminate one or more activities;

(4) impose conditions on the manner in which the company conducts 1 or more activities; or

(5) if the Board of Governors determines that the actions described in paragraphs (1) through (4) are inadequate to mitigate a threat to the financial stability of the United States in its recommendation, require the company to sell or otherwise transfer assets or off-balance-sheet items to unaffiliated entities.

This is the law that will permit the US federal government to control US Bitcoin companies/custodians/exchanges/etc.

We are moving from an era where “national security” is the altar on which rights are sacrificed into a world where “financial stability” is the new god. #TheGreatTaking #2010

Did this actually happen?

I was thinking that when I diagnosed an unexpected and rather subtle cardiac thrombus today on CT.

Minus the creepy cult angle, this sounds cool.

I vaguely remember this movie from when I was a teenager.

Exactly.

It will be interesting to see what happens as more and more people double and triple their money.

I had the good fortune to witness precisely this back in 2011 & 2012. Many people can’t walk away from a 2-4x.

lol, true. But $69,000 is not the all-time high for Bitcoin.

Not that dollars are the most important measure, but it’s more like $78,000 if you adjust for inflation.

I would remain motionless on Mars. Not much oxygen there :)

To paraphrase Michael Saylor: Bitcoin doesn’t have enemies. There are only people who don’t know they need bitcoin yet.

When thinking about an all-time high, don’t forget to adjust for inflation.

Bitcoin is cheap. 1 bitcoin is only $0.06M

Literally a rounding error…

Spoken like a true lawyer.

Or maybe A won’t invade B because of how easy it is to evade capture with private key material.

Hypothetical: country A unjustly invades country B and steals their bitcoin.

Do you (and your node):

A) reject transactions involving stolen coins & split the chain

OR

B) accept stolen coins to keep chain from splitting.

Maybe invading state will be wise and mix stolen funds to restore coin fungibility so it would be impossible to identify stolen coins. That would probably be best outcome.
