Personally I think we're past the point of asking permission from the government. This whole legal tender thing means nothing to me.
Between the vaccine genocide, genocide in Gaza, money laundering & genocide in Ukraine etc, it's safe to say there is no law.
Governments all the world are clearly a front to a cabal of super rich parasites who hide in the shadows & pull the strings. Why are people still complying with criminals?
The original idea of cryptocurrencies was to have permission-less networks the government cannot control.
The other concerning thing: Bitcoin & most of crypto are turning into surveillance coins. it's getting harder to not comply - hence why a lot of hardcore freedom fighting Bitcoiners are moving to Monero.
