 This paper is incredibly well written. I have no doubt that bitcoin is constitutionally protected. 

But, really, that doesn’t matter. The constitution is just a piece of paper that is ignored daily without recourse. Government surveillance, civil asset forfeiture, lockdowns and vax mandates, etc. etc. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re right. If you do win, it will be decade from now and you’ll never recover your legal fees. They fight with the unlimited resources of the government and you fight with your own limited personal resources. Justice will be fleeting as they’ll just target someone else the next day. Nobody will be held accountable. 

Technology is the only solution. This is why we build. nostr:note1pqnves3wd293srx53atmjztzq7r2ercmdhq6u2vufk8p4xenkn0sqftaq2
