Blue checmark claiming amount of "trusted" pub keys not going up...
That's all I need to know about this criticism.
Those are boring. The interesting ones are Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, Ireland ..
Maybe don't go to nudist gym. Just saying ..
Only 50%? Wasn't it supposed to be closed (completely eliminated)?
Facebook is even worse.
Lol, any car maker can build it anywhere in the world. Its just matter of regulations.
Even more shenanigans: with repeal of SAB121 can they post existing BTC to FED as collateral for USD "liquidity" which could be used to buy more BTC?
This literally means infinite money if US government does it.
You are missing the best one: reevaluate gold held by Treasury (currently held at ~42 USD) to market price.
This adds the difference in cash to Treasury account.

But I thought it would be useful to have a copy living on Nostr relays nostr:note1c8u8vxl97mal708cjh3rgqawdpkry62f8vmnjry9zgrsmxp0jlgq3qdgdx
What is that section c) ? How can they buy more BTC in "budget neutral" way?
Do they post it with the FED and they give them equivalent amount of USD (like gold) which they can use to buy mor BTC?
I agree with most of what you said, but dam, I hear führer speaking through you :D
Jews run the world because their average IQ is 0.75 - 1 standard deviation over Europeans and we are already quite high ..
Just fact of life...
Not true. Some EU countries have exit/capital flight taxes already or are preparing something equivallent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriation_tax
Shit, good thing I have lots of non KYC btc.
But still, law and enforceability of law are 2 different things. Uncle Sam is much stronger globally than Italy or Latvia or Sweden ..
There is reason why FATCA has no US in the name ... maybe EU will try to do something similar, but what laverage does EU have over rest of the world?
Europe has one huge advantage (especially for Bitcoiners): no worldwide exit taxes
But the way to stat is to dismantle the biggest corporation known to man => the government
+ I live in post socialist country (the real deal socialism, not this watered down "social democracy" we in "the west" have now)
and I have heard all the stories from my parents and they generation how it worked in reality. Yes we had no billionaires (except maybe some top communist party members) and everyone was poor and depressed and bullied by random deranged party members in every aspect of life.
(fun fact, Austrian economists consider current system we have fascist. Makes sense, when you look from economic standpoint how fascism works - thats basically what we "in the west" have. We are only missing the ultra nationalist shit
=> this is what I want to dismantle. Big gov and big corps supporting themselves)
I think I am just little bit older then you honestly :D.
What you are describing is good in theory, problem is in reality:
- over 60% of my income goes to government and taxes are still increasing over time
- poor people are still poor
- homeless are still on the streets
- expensive SUVs have disability cards so they can park on those disability spots
- politicians (including socialist) are multil millionaires
- government is still going bancrupt (more and more in debt) and printing more money
....
When I hear those rich smugs saying "government is going to help you" I hear "we are going to take more money from your pocket and give it to ourselves and our rich friends and give the rest to those stupid people so they vote for us again"
Look at reality not PR nonsense:
The fact that working class people have higher tax rate than ultra rich means government is extracting money from working class and supporting billionaires.
Honestly I hope at least some countries will manage to dismantle "social state" so that when my taxes eventually move to 90% and I become complete slave of government I can move to one of those countries.
Yes, that's true. Neocons in USA intentionally provoked war in Ukraine.
On the other hand, I live in one of countries to which NATO was expanded and I am happy for that expansion. Russians are the worst.
Censorship again and again...Trump Calls On Congress To Pass The “Take It Down” Act—So He Can Censor His Critics https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/trump-calls-congress-pass-overbroad-take-it-down-act-so-he-can-use-it-censor
Isn't the bill just for "imagery"?
Ou shit! They they want to ban memes?!?!
This will all be solved with Bitcoin. Soon lots of working people will have huge amount of portable and hard to tax capital. They will be able to move to countries that treats them best (lowest taxes with highest quality of life). This will bankrupt all the corrupt oppressive governments.
