Is anyone really surprised that a system requiring theft (inflation) at its base layer….has theft throughout it?

My favorite VPN provider, MullvadVPN.net, finally accepts Lightning payments natively.

At this point the income tax needs to be halted immediately. The mishandling of American taxpayer money that is being laid bare is beyond comprehension.

The people, at the very least, deserve a break from the madness until we figure out what’s going on.

If you're not pissing people off, you're probably not saying anything worth saying.

Hopefully, you're pissing off the right people and not the wrong ones.

Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in El Salvador

I call this a win for Bitcoin.

Why?

Because Bitcoin empower the individual and not the state.

Every time I hear people talking about "X country will declare Bitcoin as legal tender..." I just laugh. They have no idea what is legal tender.

Bitcoin CANNOT be legal tender! To be legal tender it means to be endless DEBT.

Bitcoin is to empower the sovereign individual and not the states!

Let's stop this crap bullshit with "make Bitcoin legal tender" ! Is a total fallacy! Instead, focus on empowering individuals using Bitcoin every fucking day without any gov permission.

What is a "legal tender"?

A “tender” is the name given to a small boat that “tends” to the needs of a larger ship, usually by transporting people or supplies from shore or another ship.

With the word legal referring to a contract, the term “legal tender” means to “tend” to a debt sometime in the future, by way of contract.

Meaning, by using legal tender the debt is never paid, as the “small boat” never left the “shore” to deliver the “money”.

These are contracts (legal tender):

Any retailer or individual could refuse to use a legal tender. Nobody can force you to use it. Why? What is the point of a legal tender then?

The point is that you cannot force a retailer to accept legal tender or indeed any other form of tender. If, however, you buy something from them and there is no contractual barrier to the use of any form of tender, and you offer legal tender in payment, and they refuse it, then they cannot enforce the debt in court.

That's what legal tender means: it's about discharging debts. If you incur a debt you can discharge it with legal tender, but you cannot be forced to incur the debt in the first place, if you see what I mean...

Bitcoin is only 16yo, it will take time.
