Regulatory attempts to ban anonymous BTC transactions are not a “reverse Trojan horse”. They didn’t trick us into making this possible. The ball always was and always will be in the regulators’ court as to whether or not they will allow anonymous transactions, and the answer was always going to be “no” once they started paying attention.

A gigantic mistake was made a few years ago letting Antifa, CHAZ, etc do what they wanted, night after night after night. It’s not the only factor, but the immediate reaction should have been to encircle the streets they occupied round up or shoot them if necessary, and say in so many words “You thought you could just do this and nothing would happen?

Also let them know that you are peeing on them, and now they are covered in ghost piss that they can’t wash off.

Cross-posting this: Keep thinking what an incredibly difficult position the father was in. Doing what is right means handing his son over to be executed. I wonder if the Of Mice And Men option crossed his mind. I hope for the sake of all of us that there is a higher power which can comfort him.

What are you talking about? That’s where I learned that Josh Mandell was present when bitcoin was coded in 1991. That is some spicy fresh alpha.
