Protest vs. Contest
Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give unto humanity what belongs to humanity.
Well, there is something like Habla.news that has comments and threads that seem to work a lot better than Telegram does...
Wrote an essay about how I see the student protests. All opinions are my own.
Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto Humanity the things that are Humanity's.

If you want to read this on Habla News:
Jack, we need a way to contribute to developers and other actors within the space that doesn't depend on altruism at all. We need a way to invest capital, have that capital build a revenue stream, and then direct that revenue stream towards the devs and other causes we want to support. Bitcoin only has one revenue stream built in, and that's mining. And anything we do is going to be seen as a security because it's an investment of capital with the expectation of returns. So we just need to make it possible and get it rolling. Can we get you to strike the iron before it gets cold?
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.”

Nostr needs to launch and promote a market app to compete with this.
What do we have that people in Africa can use today?

Wow, alongside the giants?! Thanks!
I'll take a look. I have a number of articles that are super long form that I could put on there, but they would need an overhaul for the format.
Hey nostr 👋 #asknostr
For those that listen to our content nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld, do you find our name…distracting?
I’m talking about the word “progressive”
Do you find it’s a don’t judge a book by its cover situation for those that might not be crazy about the word progressive? Or do you love the name/word? Comment below from any of the 3 options:
1) keep the name
2) change the name
3) I don’t listen, doesn’t feel like it’s for me
Keep the name.
I was in politics for 15 years, and very few people on the left or right have any damn clue what the word "Progressive" really means. Even if they think they do, they're not zoomed out enough.
The real progressive movement got started with the Magna Carta.
When in doubt, zoom out.

I don't know if Kitco is blowing smoke or not. I go directly to the source and draw my own conclusions from real facts, not media spin.
That proposal still has to pass Congress, and honestly it's insultingly fake news. It shows a complete disregard for historical accuracy.
Here's the actual language of the proposal:
Long-term capital gains and qualified dividends of taxpayers with taxable income of more than $1 million would be taxed at ordinary rates, with 37 percent generally being the highest rate (40.8 percent including the net investment income tax).18 The proposal would only apply to the extent that the taxpayer’s taxable income exceeds $1 million ($500,000 for married filing separately), indexed for inflation after 2024.
So, if your income exceeds $1M USD per year, then you would be subject to this tax rate. And it would only apply to income ABOVE that threshold. These increases would affect around 1.8% of taxpayers within the US. 98.2% would not be affected at all.

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"
It's a good way to start.
That's not how it works. The top marginal tax rate is 37%, and that only applies to overall incomes above $609,350. Making a claim that everyone who owes taxes on crypto gains is going to pay that rate or higher is just false.
