A jukebox feature that can be used at bars, house parties, etc. You can do the regular way or have a zap auction for the next song to be played. Could also open up the auction to outside parties (I could zap a Rick Roll as the next song at some particular event that has it open to me and/or the public). Could split the song zaps with the jukebox host and the song creator.

I find it highly amusing that people are bitching about self-custody when 99% of you HAVE BEEN USING CUSTODIANS FOR NEARLY YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I guarantee you've kept most, if not all of your fiat in a bank and not under your mattress.

Custodians will exist. Self-custody for the masses is so far off and there are far too many people who just do not or will not have the mental capacity to fully self-custody their Bitcoin.

Get over it. In the meantime, there will be custodial solutions that can be beneficial until the masses are educated better and/or self-custody becomes stupidly easy.

The idea would be still to decentralize in that local area, with some sort of "alert" system when one is in need of immediate assistance. The others can approach stealthily.

A part of me thinks that many like-minded people should converge in a local area for the sole purpose of having a community that is willing to protect each other from the "law" when the "law" tries to come after them for the enforcement of those stupid/immoral "laws".

Of course, logistics issues.

Let's do IRS legal definitions:

"person" [26 USC 7701(a)(1)] - commercial entity and/or their employees

"trade or business" [26 USC 7701(a)(26)] - the performance of the functions of a public office

"employee" [26 USC 3401(c)] - an officer, employee, or elected official of the United States, a State, or any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing. The term “employee” also includes an officer of a corporation

All of which are misapplied to 99.9% of men/women in the US to make you think the tax code applies to you

It literally is. Definitions of words are constantly changed, especially legally.

Just started listening to this book the other day and I appreciate a lot of his takes.
