Stop thinking in a world of rules and control and start thinking in a world where all possibilities and opportunities will be taken advantage of by someone, and protect yourself accordingly..

Your world sucks. Tongue

A world where only the most immoral and unethical people will thrive and dominate.. this is the world you want?

How are you going to "protect yourself accordingly" when all forms of possible protection are taken advantage of by someone, and aren't forms of protection at all anymore? You'll either become them, or be owned by them.

I'm all about personal freedoms and independence.. i.e. governments, banks, etc.. should not have the type of power they have and should be limited on many fronts. However, no rules, no policies, no government at all... will not be a good thing.. not if you want to have a somewhat civil society or community.

Sucks?
Well maybe, but it’s reality.. Maybe reality sucks..

If you are going to offer something to “anonymous” aliases, then why would you not EXPECT it to be taken advantage of by one person being multiple aliases?
Would you advocate for kyc?

If forms of protection are available to all, that sounds fair to me..
I don’t think banks should be limited/regulated either, but at the same time they should have no special privileges or protections over any other person or company..

What makes the world “suck” in my opinion is when a government meddles with absolutely free voluntary capitalism in any way, such as giving banks privileges to do anything anyone else is regulated from doing, and then trying to regulate limits on a bank they just gave privileges to in the first place..

Like being a “licensed money transmitter”.. Ridiculous..
Why? To stop people from selling drugs at extremely jacked up prices due to government regulation, and to stop government tax evasion??

Fuck government.. They cause almost all of the problems in the first place they attempt to solve later..

If you are scared you can’t protect yourself so feel you need a government to protect you, then.. idk we aren’t the same..

When you step into a/this world of anonymity and unstoppable/unregulatable/unconfinscatable/untraceable cryptocurrency that was designed in the first place for the purpose of being possibly the most ultimate tool of liberty the world has ever seen, what do you expect? Puppies and kittens?

Satoshi didn’t create Bitcoin with the intention of making people rich, or it to be a cheaper/easier form of currency..
Satoshi created Bitcoin with its main principals/intentions of being able to fuck banks and governments right in their asses while remaining unstoppable.. (see the big blocker debate, decentralization and robustness against government attack [small blocks at the cost of reduced throughput])

You can use Bitcoin for whatever you want, but the fact is Bitcoin is basically the purest rendition of straight anarchy that has ever existed..

“But governments regulate what you can do with Bitcoin” - NO!! Governments merely regulate what punishment they will inflict on you IF you do XYZ with Bitcoin, but you can still do anything XYZ with Bitcoin and they cannot stop you (or catch you if you are smart)..

So basically expect that people are doing XYZ “naughty” things with Bitcoin at all times, because they can and will..
If you can imagine that their is a Satoshi to be made doing anything, no matter how immoral, bet your ass someone is doing it..
Because they can..
