What did you say?


Where would one make such a comment?


Done


That’s the type of situation that will actually make me bullish. That might do it actually.


Super easy to use ChatGPT to generate a comment based on what you think the worst part is.


I mostly need AI to hold me back from being too vicious 😂


Fair!


Forward this in the most persuasive manner to politicians, including those who aren't your ideal representative. This is a first amendment issue, no doubt


In the link in my note ;)

Actively pursuing privacy protecting practices with digital currencies falls under our natural, God-given right to self-defense, just like firearms. Can it be used for illicit purposes? Of course, just as guns. However, this doesn't make the everyday use of it any less legitimate than to conceal carry. They are the same right for the same purpose: self-defense, not only against adversarial individuals but also potential tyrants. Therefore, only potential tyrants would force us to lay down our arms and lower our digital defenses. A government that wills the good of its citizens would recognize and codify this practice in self-defense as protected.
