This was exactly what I was in the mood for today…

Btw buddy, you’re following an imposter scammer acct just an FYI

It still blows my mind that Alaska and Hawaii were not states when my grandparents were teenagers.

BlackBerry was one of the most private devices out there, they even adapted a great architecture like QNX (after its acquisition) in its last years of life and were one of the first if not the first to use point to point encryption in a messaging client.

It was even the standard for many governments, including the genocidal Obama, now the standard is iOS.

The moral is that the best does not always win.

currently the legal person is in maritime jurisdiction (the "citizen-ship") but establishing status in higher jurisdictions means you become executor over the legal person.

bearing in mind "person" is from persona latin for mask.

the legal system (in which it is assumed that your identity is grounded) is maritime. i.e. "liquidity" "currency" etc ... If you look to most countries Bills of Exchange Act, which controls the money and negotiable instruments, you can see the whole legal canon is stated a being subordinate to merchant and common laws. there is your first clue.

i’d be happy to have a call to explain further.

Big-food = Big-tobacco

Thanks to everyone who reached out!

I have plenty of potential candidates for this, so no need to continue sharing or sending DMs. I'll get back to everyone ASAP 🙏 nostr:note1wme46jthcam5qyalgzn3y9p3yjk5vswhx6y0kxsapz83p6l3me3qj8r3aq

My daughter at dinner tonight:

Margot: Are coconuts mammals?

Me: No

Margot: Well, they are covered in hair, produce milk, and don't lay eggs, so...

101 on how gold was confiscated:

You had to turn it in for dollars by a deadline prior to dollar devaluation, and there were massive prison consequences for not turning it in, but little resources in terms of investigating who didn’t turn it in. That would be expensive. So it was fear based. Focusing on illegality and tail risks on edge cases more than enforcement on average.

Institutions had to comply immediately, since it’s all visible. So the government broke liquidity in the domestic gold market, which was enough for their purposes. Gold became a hard-to-trade illegal relic for those that held it.

If a small family hodled some extra bars for 40 years until it became legal again, they did okay.

But can the government track bitcoin in the 2020s better or worse than gold in 1930s for enforcement purposes? That’s the right question.

And don’t just think of confiscation. Think of 70% selective taxes and things like that. Far more within the current rule of law. That’s the sophisticated approach. Don’t take it. Selectively tax it by a lot.

Those are the politics to push against from a bitcoin perspective.
