In contrast, today protests have for the most part moved online. We&#39;ll comment and repost our outrage, but most people - particularly in bitcoin - rarely take to the streets. <br/><br/>The idea is that bitcoin will help you escape this system, so many don&#39;t see a need to protest. This is good for the exploiter class, because it doesn&#39;t actually make life uncomfortable for them.<br/><br/>Second, it&#39;s that raging against the IMF and World Bank used to be a socialist cause. Their protests were an act of solidarity for others who suffered under these policies. The goal wasn&#39;t profits, but a fair and just world for all.<br/><br/>In bitcoin, the majority of talk on IMF and World Bank policies is not born out of solidarity. Rather, we cheer on autocrats like Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele, who in turn promise to make life easier *for us*, all the while cracking down on the poorest in society. Don&#39;t like it? Well they, too, can just buy some bitcoin and stop concerning themselves entirely with their fellow human beings.<br/><br/>The sentiment seems to be that we don&#39;t need to care for the people around us. Bitcoin is a lifeline that has somehow turned a community cause into one of pure self-interest, where anything is warranted as long as it pumps the bag – ultimately strengthening the very institutions that we claim to oppose. <br/><br/>I wish more people existed that did what the people in this film were doing.<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqak8r2hr5jglrk0wc37t59lz98x6gyf6pwaku6hpwakhvslznjh6qqszvz22zvqtrffjsyxpjmddj8t03lr38z564cmmfhcwtr8nh79exrggugdmr" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…gdmr</a></span> </div> 25 years ago I got together with some friends and made a documentary about the international banking and financial system and the protests against them. <br/><br/>Breaking The Bank <a href="https://thoughtmaybe.com/breaking-the-bank-dtv/">https://thoughtmaybe.com/breaking-the-bank-dtv/</a><br/><br/>Someone has digitized it, now you can watch it online.

Under the law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, private medical records were made available to the Government so the administration could more easily track people to be sterilized, deported, and sent to death- and working camps. <br/><br/>If people spent as much time reading about the Holocaust as they did bitching about people being big meanies to king trumpy, they would know this, by the way. <br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/QaMz.png"> <br/>nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpk9xancv89h24rme53yhl6dh0hyhwce528eu5hrrfcsgvkg3vermqyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qqsyfld7nfakl4j3syktngcvd2p3guxj2v2k8mazuj9hl07ejdj6jycq57vdp 2025-04-23T08:41:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrdrpzz9ezlam9jyx6pt3stlj4y0v2xf7ghmj6a467s0f7ac2t5hszyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8ktvn04e Sitting at a cafe listening to two young psychologists discuss the case of a 17 year old girl, contemplating what wild mix of benzos and SSRIs they‘re about to prescribe to her for „depression“ and „anxiety“.<br/><br/>Zero regard for the human they are talking about, her story or experiences - just working off a checklist, then its back to talking about coachella.<br/><br/>Incredible to witness how this poor girl is about to be spiraled into drug addiction by two dumb bitches telling each other „exactly“. 2025-04-16T12:03:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs25mec7fjwnq0j9dmzprfjc06xemjvpqqvw3lwmk56y6fjrq3gt6gzyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8k4z07w9 So the Trump&#39;s &#39;crypto* EO is out, and I&#39;m seeing lots of weak bitches cry that its a shitcoin reserve. <br/><br/>Given the fact that the proposed digital assets stockpile would possibly be built on *seized* coins, let me give you a quick introduction to forfeiture law, and why crying for daddy to please please make its pile of flying horseshit &#34;bitcoin only&#34; *literally* the most retarded thing you could be wishing for, ever.<br/><br/>Forfeiture law – or civil asset forfeiture, to be precise – is this fun little game the government plays in which it does not have to accuse you of a crime to confiscate your property.<br/><br/>Instead of accusing you of a crime, the Government claims that the asset itself has facilitated a crime, and can therefore be seized by the Government.<br/><br/>In civil asset forfeiture, there is no innocent until proven guilty. To get your property back, *you* have to prove that the Government is wrong – which turns out pretty complicated seeing how its impossible to prove a negative.<br/><br/>Civil asset forfeiture results in cases that are not filed against a person, but filed against the property itself. This results in fun little cases like US vs. Binance Account XYZ, or US vs. 123 Wilmington Drive. <br/><br/>To extend this idea to Bitcoin, in a civil forfeiture case, the US Government is in theory able to seize *any bitcoin* that has *ever* come out of a criminal transaction.<br/><br/>Made some bitcoin for selling a service? Bought some bitcoin on a P2P exchange? Unless you checked that the UTXO you received has never touched a criminal transaction in its entire history, your coins can be confiscated, and there&#39;s pretty much nothing you can do about it.<br/><br/>As Cato Institute points out in its piece on civil forfeiture reform, forfeiture law is routinely misused to enrich the Government – Philadelphia, for example, has seized over 1000 homes, over 3000 vehicles, and over $44M in cash over an 11 year period. In 2010, the city tried to seize *an entire fucking house* because a woman&#39;s grandson sold less than $200 of weed out of the basement.<br/><br/>If you think that taxes are bad, civil asset forfeiture is straight up evil.<br/><br/>It doesn&#39;t matter whether you participated in a crime. It doesn&#39;t matter whether you know that someone else participated in a crime. If it involved your property, even if said property was fully legally acquired, the Government will come and take it.<br/><br/>Civil asset forfeiture is the most insane Government funding technique that is out there, and you most definitely do not want this declared as a strategic means to pump the Government&#39;s bitcoin bags.<br/><br/>You are *literally* asking the Government to steal your coins with a practice that *every* libertarian advocate wants to see abolished. 2025-01-24T00:00:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw8t3pdg054h4xgykf86c979kd56ux9vk0ljlrr0395c3sysalunczyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kqu9lg3 Good morning! It&#39;s January 3rd, which means its not your keys, not your coins day.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, this year the EU has decided to make withdrawing from exchanges a hell of a lot harder by extending FATF&#39;s Travel Rule to digital assets.<br/><br/>The FATF Travel Rule is not just a remarkable shitshow for your financial privacy and security – it&#39;s also a law to which authorities appear to have no data on its effectiveness to prevent financial crime.<br/><br/>What this means for you: If you want to withdraw funds exceeding €1.000, you&#39;ll need to prove that you own the address you are intending to withdraw to to your custodian. <br/><br/>It also means that exchanges are required to forward your personal information, including things like your name and address, to any custodian you are transacting with, and that an exchange may collect information on whom you are sending funds to and whom you are receiving funds from.<br/><br/>The Travel Rule does not just make withdrawing from exchanges harder, as custodians will need to employ third party software, employ a signing protocol like AOPP, or have you conduct a micro transaction to the custodian before making your transfer.<br/><br/>It also poses an incredible risk to your financial privacy and security, as your KYC info will not just be stored with a custodian you trust, but with any custodian you transact with – increasing the risks of hacks and identity theft.<br/><br/>In its current form, the Travel Rule has been mandatory in tradfi in the EU since 2012 – But nobody seems to know whether it actually works to prevent money laundering or not.<br/><br/>That&#39;s why I filed a FOIA request with German authorities last month, requesting data on all money laundering convictions in Germany since 2008. <br/><br/>Interestingly, the Ministry of the Interior responsible for national security and overseeing Germany&#39;s law enforcement, responded that it had no such information - instead asking me to file FOIA Requests with the German Ministry of Finance, the German Customs Authority, as well as with every public prosecutors office...<br/><br/>...which means that the updated Travel Rule is the extension of a law to whichs effectiveness law enforcement appears to have no data. <br/><br/>(FOIA Response in picture translated with ChatGPT)<br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/NQCL.png"> <br/><br/>Full Story:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.therage.co/travel-rule-crypto-surveillance/">https://www.therage.co/travel-rule-crypto-surveillance/</a> 2025-01-03T08:42:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxrpyperdk50ma3tngyllyq9qa64k9y9e7rnhw72jpacrmnl2qzvczyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kjzykq6 The IRS just finalized its new broker rule, finding that control is not necessary to be considered a broker subject to IRS reporting requirements. <br/><br/>It&#39;s a nightmare for every non-custodial exchange and swap provider. <br/><br/>Built a website to let users swap between currencies? You&#39;re a broker under IRS reporting requirements.<br/><br/>Built a mobile app to let users swap between currencies? You&#39;re a broker under IRS reporting requirements.<br/><br/>Built a browser extension to let people swap between currencies? You&#39;re a broker under IRS reporting requirements.<br/><br/>As long as you have the ability to collect fees on a trade, or have the ability to affect the terms under which a trade is provided, or a whole bunch of other nonsense, you&#39;re a broker, which makes pretty much any non-custodial exchange or swap provider a broker.<br/><br/>While wallets without swap or exchange features are excluded by the broker rule, it&#39;s a taste of what&#39;s to come for BSA reporting requirements for non-custodial software. <br/><br/>INB4: &#34;bUt ThEy CaN&#39;T FoRcE mY nOn-CuStOdIaL wAlLeT tO Do aNyThiNg&#34;<br/><br/>That&#39;s right they can&#39;t. But they can force the people building the software and services. And if they don&#39;t, they&#39;ll go to jail. <br/><br/>Unless challenged, the rule goes into effect in 2027.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.therage.co/broker-rule-irs-requires-non-custodial-services-to-report-trading-information/">https://www.therage.co/broker-rule-irs-requires-non-custodial-services-to-report-trading-information/</a> 2024-12-27T18:26:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxlrs45t7zcs62vy3fg7g7jt2792mn9d50dfsltwvm4y6f2v7uscczyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kwr4yjs This Thanksgiving, please enjoy the banksters completely bamboozled by what on earth a coinjoin is.<br/><br/>TLDR:<br/><br/>1. CoinJoin and Whirlpool are types of privacy enhancers. Privacy-enhancers are anonymity-enhanced cryptocurrencies that are activated by mechanisms like hard- and soft forks. (?)<br/><br/>2. Mixers and Tumblers are not privacy enhancers (??). Examples of Mixers and Tumblers are Wasabi Wallet and Samourai Wallet.<br/><br/>3. Mixers and Tumblers obfuscate transactions by, for example: creating independent transactions via single-use addresses (???), facilitating user-initiated delays (????), and exchanging types of digital assets through cross-chain bridges (?????).<br/><br/>Really glad that they took the time to explain this all so well to their banking friends. I&#39;m sure it all makes so much more sense now.<br/><br/>Fully story: <a href="https://www.therage.co/wolfsberg-group-creates-deeply-flawed-definitional-hierarchy-for-ml-tf-risks-in-digital-assets/">https://www.therage.co/wolfsberg-group-creates-deeply-flawed-definitional-hierarchy-for-ml-tf-risks-in-digital-assets/</a> 2024-11-28T21:30:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf6rzc3rnmyy9p9gqyj0ljvqjnqhs7cv9yw2tws4dmlp53asdf7wgzyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kx4kvvd Roman Sterlingov, the alleged operator of the Bitcoin mixer Bitcoin Fog, has just been sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.<br/><br/>The government is now seizing the little Bitcoin he has left (hint hint that&#39;s how your strategic bitcoin reserve gets built), while the Billions of Dollars he allegedly made operating Bitcoin Fog continue to remain unaccounted for.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s a primer on the wild story of his prosecution and why it shook the chain analysis space – full story coming when more info on the sentencing is available.<br/><br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/LxGX.png"> <br/><a href="https://www.therage.co/bitcoin-fog-sentencing/">https://www.therage.co/bitcoin-fog-sentencing/</a> 2024-11-08T23:12:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrspmpz5nyh60f2jhzx66mvwqr964fnhz7elkvhjn9hu3ve03mdlgzyrv2dm8scwtw428hnfzf0l5mwlwfwa3ng50nefwxxn3qsev3zej8kg8cxmu &#34;So how&#39;s it going with your Bitcoin thing&#34;<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://m.primal.net/KDPD.mp4"></video> 2024-08-18T14:39:54Z
