Taxpayer
Although this term may seem simple, i.e. “a person who pays taxes” we need to understand that only a person can pay taxes, but not a living breathing man or woman.
Therefore if you accept this title, you have agreed to become a person, and therefore you have become taxable.
Citizen
To understand the meaning of Citizen, we must first address the word State.
Note: the word State is referring to your state of mind. Your state of mind has to be controlled to accept the legal fiction of government.
A State is a legal corporation, set within a nation or territory, from which a political community controlled by a government reside. In basic terminology it is a business.
A citizen is a person who owes allegiance to the State, and is entitled to “rights”, privileges and “protection”.
Meaning that a citizen is an employee of the business called “The State”, and as an employee you have traded your freedom and rights, for privileges.
Your status is now at the lowest level.

Keep Your Status
Your Status is as Sovereign once you become of age; a living breathing Man or Woman. Self-governing and having Supreme
Authority.
As we are all Sovereign, and have equal status, we need to accept titles within a group or structure, and give authority to those with higher titles to tell us what to do.
The Legal System will try and lower your status so you lose your rights, and are coerced into accepting contracts you need not agree to.
Hierarchy
This is done by creating a Hierarchy and placing you at the bottom.
The Greek word Arch means rule.
Hierarchy: A combination of the Greek word Hier, meaning “Sacred” and the word Arch meaning “Ruler”; Hierarchy, with the earliest sense means “system of order of angels and heavenly beings.”
From 17th century Hierarchy means a system of “Rulers”, with varying rank and status.
Monarchy: Monos is a Greek word meaning “alone” and Uni is from Latin meaning “one”. Mono is derived from these words, and hence Monarchy means “One Ruler”.
Anarchy: Two words from the Greek language, An meaning “without”, and the Archos meaning “Chief” or “Ruler”; combination of these words means “Without Ruler”.

Your lack of knowledge is disturbing...
"sovereign citizen" is a oxymoronic term. It doesn't exist.
You can't be citizen and in the same time sovereign.
Study more, you know nothing.
Keep calm and HODL #Bitcoin.
Everyone seems to be overreacting to the Samourai arrests, the FBI PSA, and Phoenix leaving the US. Here's my attempt to break it down.
Samourai
You have to unpack all of the different elements. Could this be a state attack on self-custody and privacy? Maybe. Probably not.
There are a few components here that need to be evaluated on their own.
1⃣ Samourai was a self-custodial wallet
2⃣ Samourai was a mixer
3⃣ Samourai was providing normal people with privacy
4⃣ Samourai were knowingly marketing the service to criminals and flaunting that fact
Reading the charges, it seems like #4 is pretty cut and dry for this case. Their getting arrested for #4, doesn't automatically mean #1, #2, #3 are under siege as well. If Samourai was a taco stand laundering money and bragging about it, I'm sure they would be taken down too.
They may be accused of running a money transmitter now, but that may or may not stick. We'll find out in the trial.
All that said, we should always be vigilant to attempts to erode privacy and the ability to self-custody. It just does not seem that this fight is *that* fight.
FBI PSA
Seems pretty normal that the FBI would advise people to use compliant services, and the entire announcement seems to revolve around potential disruptions due to Samourai being taken down, and potentially others in the future. Given they took action, they have to post some bulletin about it.
Remember that when people lose funds or have funds stolen from them, they do go to the FBI for help. From their point of view, the best thing for people to do is use compliant services where they can potentially help.
The announcement concludes saying that services that purposely break the law will be investigated - so again we go back to #4 above. This is nothing new, and self-custody is not being criminalized.
Phoenix Leaving
As nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said, it's feels completely unnecessary. Phoenix obviously is not a MSB and they are not doing anything illegal. In my view, their exit from the US app stores is a complete overreaction.
Keep Calm
Could "they" come after wallets, developers, mixers, nodes, LSPs, sidechains, eCash, VPNs, encryption, etc? It's totally possible. But if you're not breaking the law, you have nothing to worry about.
To my knowledge, there is still rule of law in the US, property rights are still protected, and privacy is enshrined in the Bill of Rights (nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu).
It would be very difficult to change the law or stretch it to incriminate these things because it's all just information and software, which is speech. Some will try. But as they are trying, #Bitcoin is becoming more and more mainstream and integral to the world's financial system.
#Bitcoin is freedom technology and it will continue on.
Go outside this weekend and think about why you're here.
> To my knowledge, there is still rule of law in the US, property rights are still protected, and privacy is enshrined in the Bill of Rights
Wrong. any court will say "you can wipe your ass with the Bill of Rights, in this court is the rule of Maritime law".
If you identify as a citizen you give away all your rights.
Citizen means slave, state employee.
Only sovereign individual have rights.
Legal Title
Removal of your status is done to you by way of sleight of hand, by making you accept a Legal Title and all the legislation that applies to it.
Changing your status makes you agree to waive all your rights in exchange for benefits and privileges. However these so called benefits are nothing of the sort.
Privileges: means asking permission to have your freedom back.
Benefits: mean you now have to pay any charges or bills, or even go to prison.
The following are legal terms, and if you accept them you have been moved out of a Court of Law and into a Legal Court or a court of legislation; you have lost your sovereign status.
Note: Anything written in all caps letters refers to Dog Latin, Glossa or ASL meaning your name in all caps letters makes reference to your dead entity, or corporate fiction.
Person
The word person comes from the Latin word Persona, meaning: human being, person, personage; a part in a drama, assumed character.
This originates from a mask, or false face, that covered the whole head, which was worn by the actors in Roman theatre.
The word Person today is making reference to your Legal Identity, and not you as a sovereign. If you accept this title then you are now within the Legal World or System, with the lowest status within an administrative court.
The meaning of the word Person includes Natural Person, Firm, Co-partnership, Association, Limited Liability Company or Corporation.
Civil Society
Civil means “Roman”, which refers to Roman Law, which in turn actually refers to legislation and not law.
Meaning a Civil Society is a group of people who have unknowingly agreed to be part of, and a member of, a society that is controlled by
Roman legislation.
The origin of modern day Equity Law is England.
The origin of modern day Legislation is Rome.

You have been warned.
Selling that iShit will give you more money to buy not 1 but 2 android devices.
No need to buy an ultra-extra fancy latest model of android.
A cheap android with lineage / calyx / graphene can handle all you need to use Bitcoin.
Ok, i meant is there an easy way to get nostr:npub148qm45zettnf6ekgkatnyfadunxwjpu8sy88mjdsgwc5f202d93qmejra7 on my phone using GitHub. I read through the page, but it looks too complicated for me. It’s a shame bc that was my favorite lightning wallet.

Saying that something is illegal is not an argument against that thing.
IT IS AN APPEAL TO AUTHORITY.
Laws are an arbitrary judgement made by whoever has political power at the time.
Laws are a means for a government to regulate people in the way that they see fit but does not make them a universal standard of morality.
ILLEGALITY IS NOT AN ARGUMENT.
Rebut any authority with a simple question: can you provide any document where I signed and consent to give you any authority and/or jurisdiction over me, the living man and my own properties, money etc ?
Authority comes from author, you are the author and if you do not give that to somebody that means they do not have it.
Stop consenting to bullshit so called laws !
And btw... lawyers are not your friends. They swear the oath to the BAR not to you... lawyers are a trap to consider you an incapacitaded that cannot read their laws, that why they say "I will represent you", it's a trick, so you can consent that you give them all the power and you are just a slave.
nostr:npub1563z6kxmvuy7s8zhzan8m0hzmkavyfzg2aw6h7f0fvcvdms398csaxc9n6 was right all along. Compliance is defiance.
When you comply, they can't get you on anything.
So you can keep building out the alternative, which enables you to defy their power.
I think was their plan all along. Gov was just the executive hand of their orders...
