Phoenix Wallet to Stop Serving US Customers on May 3rd
"Recent announcements from US authorities cast a doubt on whether self-custodial wallet providers, Lightning service providers, or even Lightning nodes could be considered Money Services Businesses and be regulated as such. We are removing Phoenix Wallet from US app stores and will be assessing other potential impacts to our operations."

Eliminate competition, then bring in centralized KYC services. Power moves.
Many statists showed their true colors during the Covid lockdown. They can’t wait to start yelling about how bitcoin is a threat and that it should be banned. They are weak individuals, but they are loud and annoying.
Agree, Lyn. The “then they fight you” phase is barely getting started. Gonna be a bumpy ride.
Bitcoin is becoming a threat.
There are many unelected officials that hold too much power who only serve themselves and don’t give a shit about the public. It’s messed up.
Are you running an unlicensed money transmitter sir?
What will you do when self custody becomes illegal?
The more I think about KYC / AML and how the government acts, the more dystopic I see our future. These people will go to incredible lengths to hold on to their power and enslave everyone around them. They will silence those who speak. They will imprison those who pose a threat. They will use violence at will. The Samourai situation is just the beginning. They will try to make self custody and running a node illegal. Absolute control is their goal. Shits gonna be ugly. Are you up for what’s about to come?
KYC is a disease.
You want privacy? Prepare for conflict.
They want to make running a node a crime.
Privacy is not a crime.

As it should. Mining will become more centralized and will be mostly state owned, unless some mircle happens.
Real privacy is a crime. Fake privacy isn’t.
Privacy is a human right. Like all rights, you have to fight to protect it from those who want to take it away from you. That involves conflict, and it comes with consequences. You could end up in jail, or worse. Freedom is not free.

Working out is the best drug.
