Because free markets don't allow for corporations, nevermind ones that have control and special licenses, monopolies, import/export contracts, defense contracts, regulatory and environmental permits, etc...
Imagine watching a market you want to buy into rocket, and not only can you not buy it during the weekend, but you don't even get to own it when you finally do get to buy it. 😂😂😂
I believe a dual currency, alongside fiat. Government will never strictly use a hard money. Never have, never will.
Yes, for sure I was. Trump isn't a bitcoiners, duh. But way better than Kamala and Elizabeth Warren.
But in the real world, we have to pay taxes in dollars, yen, gbp, etc... and due to this, we have to pay rent and other living expenses with our currency, so price does matter. Living solely off gift cards or similar bought with Bitcoin is nice, but not a good way to live.

No but the fact that qualified immunity is codified into law **does** mean the right doesnt exist.
The definition of a right (that is being used here) is: legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way.
Ergo since the law does not give me the same right as cops to defend my life means the cop have a right (to qualified immunity) that I do not, and thus we do not have the same rights.
Nobody has the right to shoot someone else and infringe on the rights of another person. Cops don't either. There are specific laws and rules in our society that dictate which ways and situations are ok to violate the other person. Ie: they were choking you illegally or similar. You can disagree that this should be the case, but nevertheless, here we are. It isn't about rights. In many places you will go to jail for killing someone, unless you prove self defense. Same against a cop.
Reason has a good story on a recent case last year.
I haven't followed up however.

Unfortunately you dont. A cop has qualified immunity which means if they shoot someone doing something illegal they can get away with a lot more than a private citizen might should they make a mistake. For example if I saw a cop choking someone to death and i pulled out my gun and shot him in the head, and the other cops then pulled out their guns and shot me dead, those other cops would likely get away with it on qualified immunity since they are reacting within the moment. Which means the consequence for me to shoot a cop is to be murdered on the scene with little or no consequence to those murdering me, a cop however could get away with the same act and should he be shot dead the person killing him would likely get in trouble.
Lol. That's not what qualified immunity is.
It doesn't cover them commiting a crime.
George Floyd come to mind?
Killed a guy and now is in jail. And that was one where he may or may not have been performing his duty. Close call but not ..
Bad cops go to jail all the time. Money laundering, agression, killing, kidnapping, etc..

Fantastic! Love when new dispatch drops happen.
$88888 seems like a fun one. We didn't really hit $77777, it just blew right past it, lol
You do.
The question is legal vs illegal.
If a cop busts down your door for no reason and tried to kidnap your wife. You absolutely have the right in many states to shoot the intruder.
I think it's the opposite. Once it smashes, new people wake up. It's one of those levels that is like oh shit, that's happening.
I did, my wife's too.
Man was she pissed. Lol. Not anymore!
A 1 million sat lightning channel can now process payments as large as $800.
As the value of Bitcoin appreciates, the lightning network becomes capable of processing larger payments.
This improvement requires no additional Bitcoin blockspace.

It's kind of a strange feeling. I opened some large(for me) channels a few years ago when the price was around 16k.
Those now can process an insane amount of fiat.
In my head I knew that would be the case, but now I can actually see it.
