Legal system = “Take down these bad things to send a message and let the legality get worked out in court later.”
You can sort of do a smash buy by taking an offer, but then the wait for the other party to send it is a crapshoot that can be anywhere from instant to 4 days later.
It's a good time to become familiar with RoboSats.

Bisq as well.
I’d say move it through coinjoins (Wasabi or JoinMarket) and keep it rather than selling through KYC, thus paying the State their theft, and then rebuying.
Letting it collapse to Haiti-esqe anarchy kind of sounds a little better at the moment TBH.
Confidential Transactions. It would raise the block weight of each transaction, but if cash-like transactions are moving off chain onto Lightning and ecash anyway, I think it may be worth it.
I’d be OK with protocol-level privacy being added to Bitcoin. CT maybe.
Something optimistic to think about: the fact that the US gov went so aggressively against Samourai likely means that coinjoin works well and they don’t have reliable de-mixing methods.
What are some non-extradition countries that won’t bend the knee and also aren’t Iran, North Korea or Russia?
Damn I lose a lot of sats on the based takes around here.
I’m actually more bullish on effective (if not formal) secession by states in the US. Can be done without formal declaration by refusing to enforce and protecting local violation of federal tax law. Until this happens the US will continue to be so powerful that other non-authoritarian nations will be vassals of the US.

Needs to be a place that isn’t a vassal of the US and also isn’t an authoritarian shithole itself, which seems to be slim pickings.
They were always going to fight us. If they aren’t going to ban Bitcoin entirely, they’ll ban private usage. Voting means nothing. Noncompliance is the only solution. #privacy #coinjoin #nokyc
They were always going to fight us. If Bitcoin’s not banned entirely, they’d ban private usage.
Eventually Bitcoin would either be made illegal or certain ways of using (I.e. privately) would be made illegal. They were always going to fight us.
