So many of my college friends were like that.
It's also rough if you were in the muck with them and got your shit together and then all the sudden they treated you differently because you put in the work.
About the best we've got is combining NIP-05 verification along with identity linking on a second social media platform. It was all the rage to make a post on your Twatter saying this is my npub.
Been sidelined with the ole COVID and finally took the time to setup my BitAxe Supra I got in a couple weeks back. Took 5 minutes to setup from start to finish. Anyone know where I can get an orange frame for the Supra?
Here's hoping Satoshi smiles upon me and gives me a little luck o' the bitcoin -- Frosted Lucky Sats, they're magic Internet money!

Life experience. Governments aren't in the business of spending time and energy drafting laws unless they can recoup a little piece of the action for themselves.
Several articles I read mentioned they want the ability to freeze assets. I also remember several articles over the last couple of years that people are paying for rentals in cryptocurrency.
If landlords are not reporting that income, the Government aren't getting their share in taxes so it makes sense as to why they want something official on the books so they can collect their portion as well as levy legal encumbrance on it.
The Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill, introduced in Parliament today, will mean that for the first time in British history, digital holdings including cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens such as digital art, and carbon credits can be considered as personal property under the law.

Sounds like they're looking for a new revenue stream. Can't find additional information anywhere, but I'm curious if it is retroactive to the purchase date of said assets. Hopefully it is also written that you can deduct losses for said property becoming worthless.
Personally, I don't give a flying fuck which side you're on, but banning someone for simply using the technology as it was intended to be used is beyond evil.
Just remember, there is a BIG difference in having one account for use on the #nostr protocol and one account in a walled garden that apparently is acting as judge, jury, and executioner. At this point, if you're going to play God, maybe you should just block access to said region.
Imagine the damage if you're using an Outlook email address that is tied to your banking, utility, and other financial accounts, Authenticator for MFA, etc. This goes well beyond having your "online life" whacked.

You’re head of the class…
I’ll bite. Can you expand knowing how it is currently interwoven with kyc on/offramps, IRS taxation requirements, etc. I’m not sure this can be decoupled.
I could see it in other counties but not here in the US.
This is great and all, but they already have. Operation Checkpoint, veto of SAB121, what they put forth in FIT21, IRS taxing it as property, mining/energy, so on and so forth.
If you think that we can now form a parallel economy with Bitcoin now while it has now penetrated tradfi via ETFs, that is some pie in the fucking sky thinking. They aren’t just going to turn their heads and look the other way.
That said, you are 100% right on Trump at the same time. However, I do think someone like Cynthia Lummis does get it and cares.
There is likely increased fear because she has been farther left than Warren and we’ve seen through the anti-crypto army, operation chokepoint, vetoing sab121, etc that they are not interested in embracing the industry.
She has had numerous chances to show she won’t completely continue attacking via all of the orgs that have started up and she hasn’t even given them time of day — that is a rumored 50m voting bloc.
Seems pretty easy to see why it may dip a bit.
If you see any of the liberal comments on socials, they typically believe all MSM slants far right.
Nope. Trump lost the opportunity to talk about it when he went balls deep into shitcoinery.
You're a couple days late my man.
