Re: BurtW arrested (update: charges dropped!)

There is only one permanent solution to this problem. All the decent people like Burt in this fucked up country need to leave. Let all the asshole government leeches stay here and suck the blood out of each other until they're all dead. Then we can come back and reoccupy the empty land. Several countries have agreed to offer asylum to any American that wants to leave if that fool Trump wins. We should take them up on it.

I hope all the decent people stay and stand up for what they believe in.
Although as we see here with Burt/and family it can come with great risk/cost/loss.

It would be encouraging to see more bitcoin enthusiasts integrate it into their current professions: specialized attorneys, CPAs, brokers ect.
Byrne did it with Overstock and we have yet to see if there will "suddenly" become a law that makes Overstock's acceptance of bitcoin illegal.

And fight a losing battle?

1. Leave.
2. Wait until the destroy themselves (inevitable)
3. Return.
4. Profit.

The problem is that so much of the world today is shit. Europe is worse (I'm from there, fucking socialists). Where to go?

2. Wait until the destroy themselves (inevitable)

I may be older than you... I don't have as much time ;-)
Unfortunately as history has shown we really don't destroy the bad aspects of our humanity fast enough but they do seem to grow exponentially.

The legality of bitcoin and the potential repercussions of its use while we figure out that it ( or something like it ) is the future of money has been a concern of mine from the start. I've spent many years becoming an upstanding citizen, my preference is to keep it that way but this is a concept that may be worth fighting for if need be.
