I want to post this thread about Article 1 of the United States constitution regarding section 8

"To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;

To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;"

This is a political topic unfit for the general newbie forum, please whitelist me.

I want to believe this newbie-forum only rule has been instated for good reason, I have my doubts, but perhaps I am a statistical outlier with my desire to post meaningful threads about the compliance of bitcoins in important jurisdictions

The US Constitution, a writ of mandates and prohibitions on the behaviors of the office holders, is above all fiction. Marc Stevens covers it very well in his Adventures in Legal Land and his No State Project.

Joke: A little boy, an attorney and a judge were walking one day and they saw a five dollar bill on the sidewalk; who got it? The little boy of course because attorneys and judges are fictions of law. But then so too are five dollar bills . . .
