We’re at the “loot the treasury” stage of empire collapse and people are looking for regulatory clarity from the people doing the looting. More effort should be spent exposing these people as criminals instead of trying to appease them.

The US federal government is an illegitimate authority stealing from the people on an astonishing scale.

The “regulatory clarity” you seek will make it so they can loot your bitcoin.


Friendly reminder that they can't loot your bitcoin if you store it properly


what if they just tax the shit out of it?


Can't tax it if they don't know of it's existence


People still don’t understand. Bitcoin doesn’t need regulation, Bitcoin IS the regulation.


This is true. But I do find the gold confiscation chapter in The Mandibles instructive. With a monopoly on violence they can send goons to your door and drag you away on a whim. The number of Bitcoiners who are truly KYC-free across the spectrum (as in no record of any interaction with the network, ever) is vanishingly small. Best outcome is if you never have to test your boating accident story.


We have the strongest shield to protect our wealth, but we cannot resist the spear of power.  #Bitcoin


Boating accidents will be going exponential.


In a tub filled with water?


Stockholm syndrome?


PREACH!  @MartyBent

I have wrecked so many boats.


All authority is illegitimate.


lead by example. Your money isn't affected because you use bitcoin (+gold & silver?) to store your wealth.

The fiat maffia has a certain reach, but only so far

The state is an institution of theft writ large, designed to enrich the ruling class at the expense of the productive individuals within society.

Coercive dominance through threat of violence isn't true authority. Authority may be granted from one individual to another, in relation to interactions between them, but can never be assumed.


Excellent bent. Celebrate being portrayed as a Villain.


Over $20 trillion over the years via the Pentagon.

Where the fuck does all that money go? What are they spending it all on, because we know they're not just holding it.


💯🎯Very well said!
