I like the change.

Some good news. Trump family is heavily invested in shitcoin defi. This decision would affect them. I hope he'll pressure DOJ and support the legislation.

That's good news about the pending legislation. Let's hope it passes.

That's for sure. I hope he gets a good appellate lawyer.

Yes. And the stakes are high here for us if he loses.

Exactly. I'm torn between analyzing the decision as a lawyer would or just taking a @DarthCoin approach.

For Roman, this was a good outcome. He isn't facing much time. For us, and I hate being selfish, this money transmission (1960) conviction could be bad if it's upheld on appeal. It could broadly be construed to affect non custodial wallets, and even lightning.

It was the money transmission charge.

I relate to the whole NY Italian thing too. The bit about a bitcoiner trying to explain bitcoin while waiting for a subway reminded me of how difficult it can be, at least for me, to explain bitcoin to a no-coiner.

Very cute tuxedo. We have three (feral?) roaming our property. Good looking cats.

😀

It's short. Not a huge time investment. Edit- actually it's an hour.

This sounds like a project for @DarthCoin, but it might be tough to contact him now. He's building his citadel.

I'm thinking this might be Robbie's attempt to break into bitcoin podcast world. He's pretty good.

There was a stacker on here who used to have one. I can't remember who.

I understand. The whole $50 (inflation) wrench attack thing. Most people are nice. They're just not spending their bitcoin. I ran into that same attitude at PubKey when I went there 2 years ago. Management asked why I wanted to pay for my beers in bitcoin. "Save your sats." Perhaps it's different now.
