Oddbean new post about login | logout By bending over and asking for regulatory clarity you are failing to meet your obligation as a US citizen to disobey the unjust laws enacted by a vile class. https://tftc.io/were-at-the-loot-the-treasury-stage-of-empire-collapse/
Best. Post. Ever. LFG, keep doing your thing Marty.
Something about this reminds me of the mechanized patriots in Bioshock Infinite. https://image.nostr.build/78b71cc26ac9bb16c997a5f1a7b0f8da6caa672898aeaddf7e3c1db9db62c005.jpg

The BTC ETF is the carrot they give to all those who think "regulatory clarity" is a good and necessary thing, like this donkey🫏 forever being led by them, from free wealth into what they set Rules and cages. This way they can enslave more people all the time. https://image.nostr.build/56b93e1c5d269163ff891b926c930b9ecf6049ae0d1390363510911962ba48d5.jpg
What if, rather than outright banning Bitcoin, the State could neutralize its disruptive properties by integrating and endorsing it? What if the government could harness Bitcoin's "Number Go Up" (NGU) technology to enforce its objectives and undermine the very ethos that defines Bitcoin today? nostr:note1z56r23mwel3ng35s5es0uvxdrnkk0990gre7q68dm97e8eaqrqhq85yjdw
I am in Canada. I haven’t figured out a way to say “no more” to the state when all of our income tax and deductions are done at source. The government has taken away people’s ability to claim employment insurance benefits and their only option is to thrust their family into poverty if their only option to negotiate with an employer for direct pay is to threaten to quit. The employer is still left with the liability whether you voluntarily pay your tax bill at filing time or not, thus turning every decent-paying employer into a tax collection agent. The only way out is to develop a source of income that is outside of the fiat system, then choose to violate laws that will land you in prison when they finally catch up to you. I asked my payroll department if I could manage my own tax deductions and pay my own bill at the end of the year, and they simply won’t open themselves up to that liability. What’s the fix?
