The DOJ Samourai seizure isn’t about money transmitting. They knew Samourai never held money. Samourai never broke a law. This is outlawing privacy. This a new law—a tyrannical law.
It turns out a paper bitcoin market manipulated by Blackrock and friends won’t make bitcoin moon… Good. Bitcoin isn’t for them anyway.
The ensuing bull market is looking more and more dystopian… KYC mining that only mines compliant blocks. Banning coin joins. Pushing everyone towards custodial and financialized paths. Bitcoin is coming up against the final boss of the US financial system and Government. A lot bitcoiners will claim bitcoin has “won” because they are richer, while bitcoin is being slowly morphed into a totally captured CBDC. I’d rather my Sats not go up in value rather than be captured and regulated!
