Counter-economics are far worse than fiat fuckery, regardless of size or economic impact. The latter leads to overreaching regulations, the former exposes the uselessness of the system. That's why Ulbricht will rot in jail while SBF will walk away before the 25 years go by.

Some relays still have the old info, so when someone hits zap it sends it to the old one.

Wait until you change all those hard surfaces for vegetation and they come up with the "Leavesfall Tax" 😂

Yeah, the cost is the $12K-$25K in fees they didn't earn from real transactions.

21 sats = 21 sats

There, fixed! 🫡

Thanks for fighting the good fight and staying on Blue Bitcoin's side 🫡

Efficiently allocated from the pockets of the many into the pockets of the few

There will be bans. They will create parallel markets that will accelerate the demise of the banners. Blue Bitcoin will be a thing, and it will be good for Bitcoin.

Only a written Cease and Desist since you didn't use cream to make the sauce.

Arguably this is already a step too far. It's likely that we'll start to see CASPs (as they called them in the regulations) closing the gates to self hosted wallets and their users. This will push those users into the grey/black market.

Once people start feeling the heat of what's queued on the pipeline (carbon credits linked CBDCs) there'll be a move for acquiring KYC-free coins to bypass the evergrowing economic control. That will lead to a two BTC system, similar to what happened in Argentina with the USD.

That's my hope anyway. I'd love to see a widespread parallel economy. All those economic transactions only growing distrust on the political system, all those uncollected taxes defunding the govs, them forced to print an ever increasing amount of money devaluing the currency against the street exchange rate while keeping an artificial "official" price, people seeing how street and official price keep depegging being more and more prone to opt out... It's the perfect feedback loop to end with their clownery while they try to retain power.

What bothers me most is that the first mention I saw in Nostr was reporting the facts correctly.

Then someone with the reading comprehension of a 3 yo made an article with the whole thing the other way around, that got screenshot, and suddenly Nostr got filled with people believing the EU has ban self custody 🤦‍♂️

UN, NATO, USA, EU, UK... pretty much every Western country has done it. We may be heading to a wider conflict, but they are not *that* stupid.

So your anti-WEF move is legitimizing the system, coopted by the same deep state you're fighting against, by participating on it? 😄

We agree on the goals, just not on the ways.

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of fixing the problem. I just don't think voting is a viable way of fixing the problem.

How about an option to set the default to Tor then? A little toggle on that screen, maybe.

The people that needs to fix it is braindeadly consuming state propaganda as information and applauding EU overreach and liberties cuts because "it protects them".

At national level, the different shades of "socialdemocrats", " liberals", and "conservatives" keep the theater going to maintain the 24h news cycle noisy enough so people either fights each other or grow tired of it all and disconnects. That way the maintain a facade of political discussion.

Nevertheless, in the EU national parliaments are very limited on what they can do, a bit less every day. Most EU regulations are imposed on all state members and can only be superseded by even more restrictive regulations at national levels.

And what do they do at EU level all these parties that are seemingly so opposed at national level? Vote as the uniparty they really are.

Voting harder is not only futile, it legitimizes the whole circus.

Where can I find it?

Also, would be nice to have the Tor pubkey:host as delfault when you try "Peer to Olympus" and have Orbot on, imho.
