Good luck begging politician! Such waste of time and energy... #996774

Except that (a) it works, and (b) if you want any devs building actual Bitcoin tech over the next few years, the law's gotta allow for that. No one is gonna risk going to jail to bring you free, open-source Bitcoin software, no matter how much you scream that they should.

Before becoming a bitcoin dev then, (a) thou could have learned the rules of the game and how the system works. This way, you might have avoided the trap you're in. Sure, it’s a comfy trap, you can stay there. Or (b) keep your personal information private to avoid feeling pressured by these commercial offers.

Bitcoin devs today are a bunch of losers, sold to corporations for few bitcoin and convinced to make best interests of "others"... Where are the cypherpunks?

Do you remember the "separation of money from state" thing? FTFS is in the first line of the whitepaper:

Governments are financial institutions. Thou are NOT worth the bitcoin received. If not thou, someone else will take care, no worries. No need to feel so important or responsible for humanity, because you’re not. Or are thou going for president next? In the name of Bitcoin?

If you do not have balls, then go back using fiat. Nobody is forcing you to write code for Bitcoin.

I don't know about this... should we make the call and support it?

reply

Yes, it protects noncustodial bitcoin devs and service providers from being classified as money transmitters and money service businesses.

reply

I'll make the call tomorrow, thanks for posting.

be sure you are doing it right...

begging a politician for permission to use bitcoin? LOL

Bitcoin is DEFIANCE. Not statism

I propose that every time you push a new release for SN, first you have to sign a petition to a local politician.
TO BE "PROTECTED"... by the mighty law

It's a trap!
That is how you put yourself under their jurisdiction, by asking for permission.

It shouldn't matter whether a wallet is custodial or not

  1. You'll have trust smuggling scammers like Ark and other fake L2's swindle people/courts into believing they are non-custodial
  2. The argument for Stablecoins is free-banking, but free-banking works better without shitcoins and picking winners/losers by regulation
  3. This seems to be a Spiral backed campaign and they're just one red flag after the other
reply
is custodial or not

afaict the non-custody part:

  1. makes the thing have no conflicts with existing federal law
  2. easier to pass
reply
  1. If you're changing or clarifying the law already, just do it correctly
  2. That's it. Why Spiral would be behind this is, Square already has money transmitter licenses and would love to keep unlicensed services down. Every other transmitter would spend on lobbying against a good version of this.

This is will make it much easier for transmitters to selectively wage lawfare against competition with better cost structures and UX. Standard deep state playbook, bad stuff... squash it and make noise over something that's not a corporate protection job.

What? So you think that we should remove regulations on Cash App and Coinbase (custodial wallets) and this is so important that we shouldn't try to get the (actually maybe achievable) outcome of making non-custodial wallets less regulated, and that somehow this is good for Block (the company behind Cash App, that generally drowns in regulations)? Enabling people to better build non-custodial wallets that outcompete Block's products is...good for Block? Okay man.

reply
making non-custodial wallets less regulated

Stop lying, there's no regulation on non-custodial wallets.

There's the Blanche Memo and favorable case law in the hopper.

should remove regulations on Cash App and Coinbase

Yes.

that somehow this is good for Block

You're really incapable of having an honest back and forth.

Deregulation is bad for Block, who spends a fortune to maintain a regulatory moat. This isn't de-regulation, it's regulation affirming because your boss is scared of what's happening at the DOJ/Courts.

reply
There's the Blanche Memo and favorable case law in the hopper.

The Blanche Memo can and will be reversed by the next administration. There is no case law here.

I'm not gonna bother engaging on the Block nonsense, if you think Block is evil, great, go read Coincenter's view on this, Bitcoin Policy Institute's view, CCI, or literally any other lawyer's take on this stuff.

reply

There's no regulation against self-custodial software. Fact not opinion.

the next administration?

Interesting

Buy your Satoshis and call your senators saying they need policies that protect your Satoshis. So the state will know that you have Satoshis and can help you better. It is a great initiative of the human being son of a cow who created this.

Wallet is an important tool. Particularly, the self-custodial ones. This really deserves support.

reply

coinbase wallet is best one

Totally fact!

Statism deserve support? Lol

How has saveourwallets.org helped in saving people's wallet?

reply

It’s an effort to save them, not a historical record of them being saved.

I'm not a US citizen but I greatly appreciate initiatives like this 👏

Supporting BRCA is supporting innovation without permission. Let’s keep the U.S. a home for Bitcoin builders.

this is so stupid; begging the masters to beat the subjects a little less hard, or hold the beating until next year; bahaha!

If you value your financial freedom this is a cause to get behind,let’s encourage lawmakers to support laws that protect our right to transact freely with Bitcoin.

I don't know what the heck this is app, i just trying

Awesome!

Wallet is a vital part of crypto mining and collecting. Make sure to keep track of your addresses, passwords, and passkeys

Bitcoin gives people freedom — we must protect the right to use it without government overreach. Supporting BRCA is a step toward financial liberty.

Great. Worth read.

Good morning everyone, how was your night?

Good morning

Good morning everyone, trust you all had a blissful night?

Good morning everyone

"Protect your right to transact freely"? I hope you guys are kidding.

We're not going to ask permission, as @Dartcoin mentioned, to use Bitcoin wallets? Self-custodial wallets do not require permission. Perhaps you're taking about custodial wallets. If that is the case, then the current trajectory of the state is to be expected.

Just stop using custodial wallets.

The new California bill, that can seize your bitcoin after it has been idle for 3 years and with no login, etc., gives enough alarm bells for me. Those rules will only be loosened in favor of the state, I assume.

Lol such bullshit.
Making petitions to politicians to request permission is the lowest stupidity ever.
Only deep slaves do this crap.

https://m.stacker.news/95019

I wonder if this chinese guy also made first a petition to his government to stop the tanks...

Just radically, ultimately, completely, up to the latest imaginable limit, and without a single concession, without exception, FUCK THE STATE.
Are you crazy? DON'T FUCKING ASK FOR PERMISSION YOU IDIOT.
