Law is just financial contract. It appears possible for AR to switch Bitcoin, given that they burn the bridges with outside world, at least temporary.
As much as I enjoy reading about Milei, he is essentially entertainer, he does not have much to do with Bitcoin.
Government that you practically in contact with is a set of financial contracts. The issue is that they are practically intractable and it is near impossible to verify whether it produces any service or good for you or not.
I proposed solution where most key governmental functions are P2P automated: identity issuance (with PoW), attestations (“oracles”) and bets (arbitrary financial contracts) on future events.
The latter (bets) can be used to automate and incentivize public projects, police, military (u can bet 100 sat against Trump dying to reward a hitman betting 1 sat on his death). As well as used in purely P2P business contracts (e.g. food order and delivery contract).
Are you still in denial about the geoengineering and weather control operations that are taking place over your head without your knowledge or consent?
It's time to accept that you were bowing to cognitive dissonance and educate yourselves as to what is going on in your skies.
They are being used as dumping grounds for psychopaths to try and play god, funded by your tax payments, megalomaniac billionaires and your government.
Below is a report of a list of companies opearting weather control operations in Texas.
Missing in this list is a company called Rainmaker, a Thiel (Palantir) funded company run by a 24-year-old.

Red the article. “Eco-friendly” modifications my ass.
Energy/Matter conservation suggests that if it rains artificially in Texas - it won’t rain naturally somewhere else.
Worse than that, efficiency, lol. Saving small plant in Texas at the price of killing larger plant somewhere else where nature meant it to rain.
In reality it’s likely even worse, precision is probably shit. So most artificially induced rains are likely induced in the desert, lol.
Although, gotta say, it is eco-friendly long term since it reduces efficiency of farming. The faster humans extinct - the better for the eco-system.
We paint shacks because it helps our circular economy project.
It gives us a constructive channel through which to circulate sats into the local economy.

Residents of painted shacks receive a stipend of 7,000 sats/week, which they only receive as long they:
1. Do not convert to fiat, whether they choose to save or spend, it must happen with sats.
2. Keep the area clean, and free from rubbish and pollution. No regular cleaning, no sats.
It also brings some colour to a bleak environment. It adds some pride to otherwise unimpressive living conditions. It draws attention to our project, and makes for great photos and videos when people visit.
We have many reasons for doing this.
And.
As a happy side effect, it also helps promote some really cool Bitcoin projects, like nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg8je9kf0ajpnffclpx087njugv5vp0psjqfdeh9zuxvukmk0xw5qqpfw6hy !!
Hi! I would not call it “circular” since people are literally improving environment for sats, not circulating it infinitely. I believe, such work literally has to be rewarded by neighbors rather than a start-up project’s fund itself. I would not regulate their spendings and rather provide a market where it is literally beneficial to use sats, e.g. connect them to farmers so they could literally buy food.
Another thing ur approach seems to overlook is actually attesting to the work performed in a public project. Having an “oracle”. I proposed this solution: https://dk14.github.io/mega-peers/docs/#/README
Unfortunately, I ran out of financing since I had to scam scammers in order to get it (some idiots thought they can use this approach for gambling, without realizing that I meant environmental risks rather than predictable gambling).
Feel free to contact me by creating issue in my github or here.
Yup. Like permissions on iPhone.
I’ve added separate signing flow in my project for this reason: https://github.com/dk14/wolfram-mega/blob/main/src/client-api/service/oracle-service.ts
we developing protocol to advertise authentic oracles (original sources of data) for btc/UtXO contracts; signing oracle’s ads and new questions it can answer is moved out of regular workflow. We manage Oracle in one place - authentify in another (proof of concept, did not even write signer yet :)).
By extinct - I mean stop having kids. Clearer thinking -> faster btc adoption.
The key issue with governments is that they create illusion of stability (for poor and rich alike), as a result people become overconfident about their future, start taking mortgages having kids and such - Holland now has population density of India and among the highest mortgage debtors in the world. But a bit of weed, new age and social security - Dutch imagine they on another planet.
But economy (and ecology) couldn’t care less - resources are finite no matter what you imagine. No food - no dream.
The lesson is - don’t get high on what you sell :).
I don’t care. I don’t think it would even affect price significantly. Bitcoin adoption drives initiatives like SBR. Not vice versa.
Even periodic price movements of BTC correspond to its own “steps” in supply curve. Publicity is consequence - every 4 years. Conspiracy lovers keep it as a secret without realizing that holding on its own is not trivial. Or the fact that spending btc in fiat is just temporary (but significant) inconvenience, so the price denominated in dollars is still not that relevant.
Trouble of profiting fiat from BTC is similar to trouble of dealing with loans, credit history and such.
BTC on its own is liberating.
Fiat brings trouble. There is a book “human action” about it (far from perfect, since written like in 50s, but on the spot about absurdity of regulators).
Shitcoins bring annoyance - the industry is filled with Yale graduates conversation masters geniuses of “trade” who’d sell any bullshit “innovation”. Go sell them script-less scripts when they just wanna push solidity and other shit ASAP while it’s “hot”.
Even worse, many people I met (from US and Holland) wanna be independent from their government (either “so corrupt” or “so royal”) but wanna keep mortgages, and benefit from regulations of prices of products and services, essentially contradicting themselves. They don’t care about being aware of their own environment and trade, just want a dream where they benefit without taking any risks.
Unregulated Bitcoin markets, where the only guarantee you have is cryptography, would and likely will wipe those idiots out. Others will have to adjust to a free (and ecologically fair) trade where one actually has to either be completely self-sufficient to contribute something that is valuable to someone else.
My personal concern here is ecology. Resources are finite (Btc represents awesomely), but even with Bitcoin Max everywhere - I see better living, but don’t see humanity surviving much long. 50% of livable area is in farming and population won’t stop growing unless we agree to extinct, which would be awesome since you can live rest of your life with less idiots around.
Contrary to naive capitalist and socialist thinking, unregulated economy will make those issues more noticeable - remove the haze of social support. Make social contracts explicit - you’ll see the actual state of humanity. Ecosystem is simply about to (slowly) wipe us out.
The step of removing social haze is taking so long with so many pointless masturbatory speculations and misunderstandings - I don’t see human species survivng but if anyone will - they would be btc experts for sure :).
I mean really, add btc support to payment terminals and such, educate merchants about using it. Simply ignore other payment systems and currencies as well as yes police (aren’t they human?).
Just a bit of sync - and voila btc could’ve been adopted as most straightforward medium in exchange a decade(!) ago, even without LN in zero confirmation mode. Instead 8 billion idiots just stepping on each other feet like it’s Black Friday, acting against one another (where there is nothing to fight for) and overthink trivial currency that even Amazonian tribes could easily adopt :).
