If bitcoin was truly a separate, alternate currency, it would be sky-high right now, but it's not. It's another investment tool. Nothing more.

No, his money wasn't stolen from the safe. Billy (George's uncle working for/with him) accidentally left it with Potter at the bank. Potter unsurprisingly kept the money and pretended he didn't know anything about it when Billy came back to ask where it went.

Do they, though? Our election system is so broken it's hard to tell if anyone in power was actually elected or not.

Some fair, external audits would give the answer, but nobody in power seems to want that.

Well, to be fair...When the justice system is completely broken and two-tiered, I'm not sure transparency really does "we the people" any good except to give everyone something to scream and shout about.

See: Nancy Pelosi insider trading, also Diane Feinstein, and okay pretty much everyone in Congress.

Do personal finance reporting requirements actually deter any elected official from making corrupt deals these days?

Well, looks like everyone got tired of saying "zap" to one another and decided to move toward the coin flip, craps, and wordle bots instead.

Hey, I'm just as unhappy with the US dollar and the way it's been destroyed as the next guy, but I'm also living in the real world. People here think they're going to fight the system, but in the end they pay their taxes just like everyone else, like good little tax cattle.

Show me the purchasing power of bitcoin without mentioning any other currency

And yet the entire bitcoin blockchain is public and that's seen as a good thing or at least downplayed around here, and posts on Nostr are public as well, curious.

(And don't give me cope about how Lightning is totally anonymous, the people who own the internet infrastructure can learn basically anything about anyone making any transaction)

lolol

They were all so young and full of life before they learned about us men's evil plot to enslave them by forcing them to cook and clean and bear children.

But thankfully now they've been liberated so they can be ewhores and girlbosses working for large corporations from 8-6 every day.

She went to college and started an OnlyFans shortly thereafter, right now she's probably drunk on box wine

The government allows things that enrich the rich. The government does not allow things that enrich you, or even just leave you alone.

You are tax cattle, and you will continue to be tax cattle, no matter which currency you use.

Oh wow cool that's like two and a half cents!

Just do that a few more times and he can convert it into money for ramen noodles (+ exchange fee, + sales tax, + capital gains tax)

Each side thinks the relay is a portal to hell, hilarity ensues
