This is why normies struggle. Bitcoin is advanced technology and looks like magic to them.
“Fiat is a fucking disease of the mind. That's what it is. And every currency on earth that's not #Bitcoin is fiat. Ethereum is fiat. Solana is fiat. Tether is fiat. They're all fiat, okay? And then obviously all the fiat currencies are fiat.” - nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs with nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf & nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u

Taken from the Operation Chokepoint 2.0 emails released today.
“[…]at this time the FDIC has not yet determined what, if any, regulatory filings will be necessary for a bank to engage in this type of activity. As a result, we respectfully ask that you pause all crypto asset-related activity.”
Their disease has thoroughly eaten away any semblance of “You can just do things” from their thinking.
They expect you to put your livelihood on pause as you wait for some yet to be determined regulations. They are effectively saying, “Find some other way to feed your family while we think about it.”
They don’t know what regulation they want to create out of thin air, but they certainly know that you shall not proceed without it.
Please let this serve as a reminder you get to build the life you want. No matter what. You can just do things. You don’t need anyone’s permission.

Arrived a this setup after too many years of data hoarding and running home media servers. I spent more time collecting, organizing, and maintaining than it was worth.
Now I download a thing, watch it, delete it after seeding to 2x ratio. Life is so much better without massive banks of multiple hard drives.
Love shack! Baby, love shack!
