First post I saw this eve gets the sats. These are for you LA

Best of luck to them 🫡 I for one am not asking for their permission

Is this where bitcoin integrates ZK proofs?

The state just locked us down and forced experimental vaccines on us, trying to outlaw privacy is just another day. We build the tools and don't ask for permission.

looks like the NSA is getting ready to dump their Co!ns ... ;)

The United States federal government can officially suck my dick.

Surely they are outlawing all cash mixing too. Like tip jars.

We are in the “then they fight you” stage. There are no laws anymore. “Law” is gone. Don’t get hung-up still thinking there are laws. It’s everyone for themselves. The people fighting within the (now) fake Laws, matter very greatly. The people rejecting the (now) fake Laws, matter very greatly. We don’t know our future. It’s never been more uncertain. The time we live in is not a good time for people who need to know how things are supposed to work. But it’s a very good time for those who are whatever the opposite of “Sociopathy” are.

Exchanges in the US are already co-opted and their over eager KYC allows the USG to track coins that originate domestically and a weapon against self custodial uses of coins from exchanges. I think this is also is a way to bully offshore banks to not work with local Bitcoin exchanges. The complexity of if a tx does or does not fall afoul of these proposed rules will not be worth the risk of losing access to the US banking system. I still don't think most government regulators realize the peril the state (and their job) is in. These regulations are just the start of them waking up.

L-btc seems to work as quick option

Patriot act was supposed to be temporary of course ...

Police State USA.

Next breathing air will be illegal. If RFK Jr. is elected as President, he'll put a stop to this bullshit in the USA. I'm pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceberg too, we just need to stand our ground.

So let’s start a campaign to help battered spouses escape their ordeals using these privacy coins and then accuse the fincen folks of wanting to hurt those individuals.

You know that lightning node you run? It's a mixer. Great, now I have to plan out how to flee the country. Stupid or evil, it doesn't matter. It's the same thing.

You mean like using any wallet that implements single use addresses (every wallet worth using) if this usage is deemed “unnatural”? “You’re only allowed to make transactions that we think you should be making”. 😂

Pretty sure these rules would make The Lightning Network illegal... #bitcoin #lightning #zaps View quoted note →

And how does this intersect with freedom of speech?!

As long as crypto grifters like Sam Bankman-Fried exist, outlawing makes sense

Should we go nuclear and implement privacy on L1? 🤔

Patriot act itself needs to be sunsetted (without even getting into the fraud of its development and implementation)

Patriot act has been the most un-patriotic thing ever imposed.

Devs on projects like Fedi need to be anonymous

Keep opting out! Encourage your favorite businesses to accept BTC and THEN USE BTC!!!

I hate FinCEN reporting requirements already. I hate FBAR. And this is like 100x worse.

Zapper Cyber Hornets vs The Money Makers Mafia.

But @Lyn Alden it's for our protection, how else would we be able to live safely/securely if the government & its cornucopia of unelected bureaucratic stooges didn't save us from ourselves

💯🎯

@npub1hq0k...f9mp said he would repeal patriot act day one @jack

If the time to disobey wasn’t clear to you, this should make it so

Well, next step is banning math

Is it even possible to comply if such a law was forced on us? Isn’t privacy by default already being built into layer 1 and 2?

Is the spot Bitcoin ETF is a psyop to distract us from impending totalitarianism??

share this with your representatives in the most persuasive manner. This among other things slowly attacks and reduces ways to flee tyrannical governments. The legal fight / stance is important.

Let's face it, if one day any government decides that crypto is illegal, there won’t be absolutely nothing we can do about it. For the moment, the crypto movement is tolerated, but if the feeling of mistrust towards a state, a currency or an institution grows, the tide may turn, and not necessarily in the right direction. It's the "anarchist" side of this ecosystem that displeases institutions, and that's damaging for the BTC project.
