21,000,000

In Spain cash payments over €1000 are already illegal.

And by that they mean that using any cash at all in any transaction over €1000 is illegal.

For instance, an invoice for €1,500 can't be paid 50% cash, 50% bank transfer.

To top it up, legally speaking they defined as "cash" any form of payment where the parties are not KYC'd. For instance, a bearer check.

This is an incorrect stance. It's been half a millennium already since Paracelsus determined that "The dose makes the poison".

How much does Jack weigh? 70 kg? Drink 6 liters of water in a couple of hours, and there's a 50% chance that you die of water intoxication.

The fine line between "Cold emailing is hard, can I please have your attention with this fresh one-liner I just came up with?" and "Listen to me, motherfucker".

We all see Lyn'd notes. There REALLY is not need to repost them 47 times.

Primal was great just one month ago. I guess everything is so new and fluid on Nostr that seeing in real time a good client go to absolute shit is kind of shocking.

But you are totally right - the market will put everybody in their right place eventually.

My position is quite simple and it's a general point of view for life as a whole: people demand "safety" (from spam bots, from shocking content, from having to work to curate their own feed...). So the powers that be give them safety -- which is paid in the currency of freedom.

Exactly what I was going to say!

Months of NOTHING xD For most people actually, ALWAYS of NOTHING, rather.

We haven't even started, and I'm already getting tired of "features", algorithms, and bullshit. I just want to shitpost and read people's shitposting.

Is that why just by checking out your note my Brave Shields have gone bonkers, Youtube-level?

He can't do any of that unless he goes through all the regulatory loops.

If there was no prior announcement from the US govt of a 6102-like move that could justify it, he would surely fail to make the case. If the 6102 was announced, then it would be too late and the US Govt wouldn't let them do it, by any means necessary.

In any case, should he try to do it, the process is not instantaneous. The alarm would be raised immediately and the US Gvot would have plenty of time to react and take measures. Saylor would probably be JohnMcAfee'd on the spot.

I think 6102 is a matter of fact, inevitable. The point here will be who gets ready now for when the regulatory arbitrage becomes a necessity.

The part where you think Saylor has made a deal with a sovereign etc etc has little grounding I think because the stack is not his, it's MSTR's, and not only he lacks the power to make that sort of decision on his own, but he would be exposing himself to massive liability if he tried and it somehow leaked.

The list of US government agencies that would jump on his ass would take a whole Wikipedia.

Actually, I have to say that for more than a decade I tried to move to the US. Ironically, now I work for a company there and my boss insists that I move over -- and I keep refusing. And it's basically due to the ridiculous cost of living.

I go to the US all the time and, although in Europe inflation is excessive like everywhere else, the difference I've experienced in the US in the past couple of years is just BRUTAL. Especially eating out.

How are you calculating this? From birth, from estimate date of inception? Or from an estimate average embryonic age at which extrauterine survivavility would be >80%, for instance?

This is what I believe in terms of sociopolitical and economic policy:

1. Suppression of all "public services"

2. Suppression of all taxes, levys, fees

3. Illegalization of "public debt"

4. Levy, rental, concession fee or however you want to call it, on all unimproved non-renewable, non-human made, natural resources, first and foremost land. An open, free market is the only valid and fair mechanism to determine the rental value of the good in question

5. Equal distribution among each individual pertaining to a specific natural resource. E.g., someone living 50 km away from my town has no moral right to get a piece of the revenue our land generates. Conversely, all inhabitants along the course of a river have equal rights to the value derived from using that water, regardless of "national borders" or other fictitious administrative schemes. All citizens of Earth have an equal right to value derived from using the atmosphere, the oceans, and other globally distributed commons, notwithstanding local concentrations of value/negative externalities that should be paid locally, e.g., fine particle pollution, which has a local effect, not a global one like CO2 emissions

If you are versed on libertarian thought, you will easily recognize all these as a modernized version of Henry George's ideas, commonly known as "land value tax" (although it was never a tax), which became extremely popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the English-speaking world. As a matter of fact George lost the race for mayor of NYC to Roosevelt only through election fraud, and still Central Park exists as a testimony of his proposals. Churchill was a georgist too -- until the British landed aristocracy presented him with the receipts for his political career. Local georgist experiments took place in many US cities with definite and visible results, generally suffering the same fate: squandering by the corrupt politicians and population who followed the initial implementation, enabled by the lack of a general legal framework that made the reversal impossible. Outside of the US, New Zealand implemented georgist policies, and most famously Singapore and Hong Kong did too and are still implementing georgist land policies, to some degree and very much success.
