If you have not read, "The Great Taking" by David Webb, you should.
You can find the documentary here: https://rumble.com/c/c-5345620
But be sure to read the book - and the Federal Reserve response in the back of the book.
They are coming after the $35 trillion in retirement accounts, and the ETF if something happens (and we still don't know if this all happens).
Regardless, people will be so desperate at that point, they will give everything up for food and to keep their homes - and will be thankful.
This is probably what it takes for #Bitcoin to become a world currency. Most people need to feel extreme pain to change.
I have no idea 'when' this happens or to what extent. But during the debt collapse I do know most people have not made the appropriate plans - which are ZERO debt (even your home) and enough cash/gold/silver/#Bitcoin to live for one year.
The riots will be enough for Government to take most everything.
And those tough times will create some very strong men...
And your point?
That we should throw poeple in jail for moving money outside the banking system?
What if they bought something legitimate? I think the assumption here is all these cases involve a crime. BUT, if they involve a crime why do we need money transmission laws? Why not just prosecute the crime committed?
This is the police state. This is how a communist Gov works - they can convict you and put you in jail even if you are doing nothing wrong.
I don't understand how anyone could find this acceptable.
It's absolutely insane people are being jailed/fined for doing NOTHING wrong! The ONLY crime here is paying someone for something.
Can there be a crime for moving money? I don't think there can be. If a crime is committed, then the LAW would be enforced. If this is not the police state, what is?

Once I can buy/sell #Bitcoin directly using Monero I'm in - until it's truly integrated into Bitcoin, no go.
Exactly. All the FUD out there right now - but you can come to Nostr, zap some SATS - and what can the US Gov (or any Gov) do about it?
Gonna build a Nostr prison? lol
I gotcha - just a dry engineer here that can't see humor! lol
But maybe my reply will resonate with a couple people! (still laughing at self)
We did not elect them - they are cheating - both sides. Testimoney in early 2000's proved it.
But again, that army is fighting back too -
I understand your point - I'm probably just more positive (hopeful?) on the outcome!
#Bitcoin has no connections like this. Elites are smart in the system they thrive (fiat money printing, bias laws, corruption, regulation, etc...).
Trump is still an Elite - although he clearly (by actions) cut many off at the knees (why other Elites hate him). There are fractures in the pool of Elites right now - as they lose control more and more.
But the whole Q thing and Bitcoin is totally unconnected - other than the truth seeker type people probably find/research both. I wish there was someone coming to save everyone, but there is not.
Just as the Revolutionary War - the people will have to feel enough pain to fight back. And we are building an army within #Bitcoin that is world wide. The more people that truly exit the fiat system, less power the World "Officials" have over us and the more power we have. For those in emerging markets, start using Bitcoin as currency - bypassing your dictators supported by the West (I'm truly sorry). Save as much as you can (knowing survival/food is a struggle in some places).
This is not hard. Don't let your imagination get the best of you.
Buy Bitcoin daily, not the ETF. Move to cold storage every few grand. HODL 5+, preferably 10+ years only using what you need to maintain your life. EXIT the fiat system as much as possible.
We. Will. Win.
Hold up.
We are not a 'society of monsters' but there are monsters amoung us - no doubt.
The real problem is these monsters gravitate to power because the productive people are just out there getting shit done. We tend to 'hope' the politicians do the right things - which is CLEARLY NOT THE CASE.
Decentrialization will solve this problem. It all starts with #Bitcoin and enough of us exiting the current system to disrupt the power structure (their power is the fiat money system - money printer).
NOTHING will change until we get back control of money, and make money real again.
Read the book, “The Psychology of Totalitarianism” - it’s a little gruesome at times to think what people will fall for, based on history, but you will understand after this book.
100% with you. I get discouraged all the time.
But every one person that starts the journey into #bitcoin learns what has happened throughout history and wakes up over a few years. We just need that army to keep growing. It can seem painfully slow at times, but that’s just how its gotta work.
Time to work on exit plans.
The tax code is so complicated, we are all made criminals at some point or another. It's ridiculous. If you are a tax paying citizen, you are an enemy of the state.
It's VERY likely Ver did something wrong - matter of fact it's almost guaranteed if they want to get you.
Furthermore, if you give up US Citizenship ALL your assets are taxed at what the Government considers 'fair market value' - which is ALWAYS subjective. So if you have $200K in income/capital gains, and $5 million in assets - you are taxed on BOTH. Basically the US Government seizes your assets as you leave. This should be illegal.
The United States of America holds its citizens prisoner. If you want to leave but do not pay taxes on your **unrealized gains** they will find you and put you in jail.

“On Feb. 4, 2014, Ver allegedly obtained citizenship in St. Kitts and Nevis and shortly thereafter renounced his U.S. citizenship in a process known as expatriation. As a result of his expatriation, Ver allegedly was required under U.S. law to file tax returns that reported capital gains from the constructive sale of his world-wide assets, including the bitcoins, and to report the fair market value of his assets. He was also allegedly required to pay a tax – referred to as an “exit tax” – on those capital gains.”

It's easy to read this and assume Ver lied.
But the reality is, taxes are VERY complicated and have made criminals out of us all - you never really know exactly if you taxes are done right.
If you disagree, you clearly have not made much money.
It is hyped if you follow the Bitcoin community. Not so much outside #Bitcoin.
But a dictator does not adopt a currency they can't control.
I'm actually not sure there is any country immune from the Globalist right now! And ANY country could be drawn in OR opt out anytime.
100%!
The best research and scientist covering exactly what you discussed is Judith Curry‘s website. www.judithcurry.com
Why anyone would stay on Coinbase is beyond my comprehension. I gave them up years ago. Use strike.me or swan!
El Salvador more likely!
But, Cuba could be an option since bitcoin is really grabbed hold there.
The body will create ketones from fat first - your body does not harvest protein until the very end (which makes sense if you think deep about it). Ketones are VERY good energy source for body/brain. Furthermore, fatty meats are better than lean meats because too much protein can actually raise insulin levels. This is contrary to common Government agency advance today!
I think the best research says if you are fasting, anything over 48-72 hours and you 'could' end up eating into muscle. The wide time span is different metabolism.
But the amino acids in protein (especially red/colored meat) are vital to life - and you can NOT get them all from plant diets (so much supplement). So you are 100% right on the protein consumption!
Great book, "Change you diet, change your mind" - which will lead to several other very good books.
