The University of Mississippi School of Law now has racial quotas for their formally prestigious law review and their moot court team. Federal judges should rethink putting such emphasis on these extracurriculars when seeking law clerks.
The ivy league schools are a joke at this point. Most of the students are there because they're part of a minority group or their parents bankrolled their acceptance. I can confidently say I'm putting anyone born after 1998 with an ivy league degree on their resume at the bottom of prospective applicants for a job.

Absolutely brilliant! Open-Source justice is how we further decentralize power and authority to bring sovereignty to the individual.

Agreed. I was excited about Primal until I got to that part!
Based fags have the hardest time dating. Speaking from experience lol.

Hi everyone, I created a group for people interested in the law and Bitcoin to share ideas and discuss issues with one another. Anybody is welcome to join and I hope to see you there! #bitcoin #law #lawyers #attorneys
I see this a lot in people my age (I'm a zoomer). I'm not sure what is causing it. The NPC meme is a very telling example of this. It is one of those jokes that isn't really a joke.
I've been using one of these for years, works great. I kept getting in grown hairs with the multi blade razors.
Writing an article discussing #jurisdiction and #bitcoin . I'm starting by characterizing bitcoin as tangible property and therefore is situated in the jurisdiction it resides. Naturally, that raises the question where is bitcoin? I think the most capable answer is wherever the private key is located. However, where is bitcoin in a multi-sig wallet when keys are in different jurisdictions?
Its interesting to me that all the conversations about COVID reflect on the lockdowns and the reaction to the virus, rather than the virus itself. Suggests to me the real tragedies were the consequences of government reaction, and not the result of the virus itself.
This year feels like it is going to be pivotal in the future of finance and freedom in the digital world. I grow more and more concerned about the threat CBDCs and tokenization pose to digital privacy and liberty. It is imperative we draw red lines against CBDCs and authoritarian tools to control the financial system while building decentralized alternatives so people can opt out.
This is especially terrible on the milk jug.
Deposits are a contract right though. If courts aren't willing to enforce them, they have no value. Specific money is capable of exclusive possession and alienable even though it is fungible. When I spend bitcoin I am spending specific bitcoin.
I think it is more similar to a bailment because it is capable of exclusive possession and alienable.
Who is the bank? Where is it deposited?
Thanks for your responses! This is the conundrum I find myself in. I think a bitcoin wallet takes some of the characteristics of an intangible as well as a tangible. Part of my argument rests on treating it like a tangible because:
(1) it can be exclusively possessed, as you pointed out ("I can transact from the UTXOs I can sign as inputs. But it's up to me when or whether I will"),
(2) ownership of it expresses a property right in it of itself, and
(3) it is alienable.
A typical intangible would be a stock certificate or a contract right. The contract and the stock certificate are physical, but they rely on the legal system to give them effect. The certificate and the contract are not the valuable part, just representations of ownership in something else.
The private key = password is analogous for the most part, but one key attribute is that the password gets you into account controlled by someone else. Social media account, bank acct, etc. They have intermediaries. The private key can be used to deprive all others of control over the wallet, making it capable of true exclusive possession.
Additionally, I could throw my key away or write it down and leave it somewhere, making it alienable. The wallet does not have to be tethered to someone.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Does this make sense to you? Is there a more common sense approach?
