Bitcoin reached $68k not because governments like it

Shouldn't we bring Snowden back to the USA first?

at this point the WTO could announce to buy 5 million bitcoin and the price on Coinbase would still be 68k

We all need to be very aware that what nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 is describing here is not some distant dystopian future. It's our dystopian reality.

In May, Elliptic, together with researchers from MIT and IBM, developed a dataset to identify "the shape of money laundering" on the blockchain.

This dataset attempts to predict money laundering activity that has "not yet been labeled" by distinguishing between what the dataset defines as "anomalous signatures" and Bitcoin transfers between "licit services".

Falling out of these clusters deemed normal by intelligence financed corporations already leaves you penalized. Avoid KYC services? Flagged. Can't tie your transactions to a bank account? Flagged. Frequent user of coinjoins? Flagged.

You are already being debanked because a computer program has decided that you are a money launderer – not because you did something illegal, but because your transactions are deemed abnormal – and you have no legal recourse as suspicious activity reports swear financial institutions to absolute secrecy.

It's the full on criminalization of privacy in finance. The future is here, and it's Orwellian.

taint all transactions ✌️

and now take a look on how many of those do self-custody

I will sign an executive order directing the IRS to issue public guidelines stating that all transactions between Bitcoin and the US Dollar are forbidden, Bitcoin only.
