 Regarding the "right" to self-custody: ask yourself, do you need a politician's permission to hold 12 words in your head?

 Yeah trump was like "you have my blessing to self custody". Fuck off 
 Scary and sadge so few see this.  
 Exactly, like we need your permission 🖕🏻 
 Of course. But would you rather have it easy or difficult? 
 No, but this is a bit reductive. Your life will absolutely be much worse if it's illegal to use those words for anything. Sure, I can remember 12 words, but that hardly matters if some dudes with guns will throw me into a cage for remembering them. 
 Bingo!!
Now let’s go for the Democratic Party Support! 
 We would be better off if both parties were competing on who can be the most radical supporter of Bitcoin. Certainly more so than either of them actively fighting against it. Politics isn't as irrelevant as people want to pretend. People die from this shit. 
 Name an issue where the DNC wants fewer laws rather than more 
 “Please sir, may I hold 12 words in my head?” 
 Amen 
 No we don’t need politicians. Politicians need us.
Bitcoiners > politicians 
 Your content is always so solid. Great read. /salute 
 No we don't Gigi. You are right. But I would rather have politicians defend self custody than not. 

In Europe, they will ban self custody. And that means you will have bitcoin martyrs. Guaranteed. 

I would rather not risk being a bitcoin martyr.

Living in a bitcoin friendly jurisdiction is better. 

Madeira is Europe. I hope all stays well but when shits hit the fan Europe will send their military to Madeira for the Bitcoin. 
 I didn't re-read Gigi's legendary post but I think this is a good addendum. The fact that this right need not be granted also plays a role in politicians incentives, slowly but surely, so one would expect (as we are seeing right now) that more and more politicians/jurisdictions embrace this fact.

The next stage of this fight is privacy, bitcoin itself in practice provides no help here. 
 The right does not need to be granted. It's a human right granted by god. 

But I would rather live in a jurisdictions where the state is not agressive towards me. 

In Europe the state will be aggressive against people who self custody.

Mock Americans that celebrate friendly politicians all you want, you might not be laughing anymore in 5-10 years 
 Right I was agreeing with you 
 True. But it is better than worrying about ending up in the gulags for it. 
 NO WE DONT!

 if you need to ask for permission, you have already lost 
 I rather have my own right to choose to market then listen to politicians. It shouldn't even be there right. If you know the value and ready to be part of the whole marketing process that should be your choice.
