Anyway, it takes puns, sweat, and tears to get the national call-up for comedy duty. The squad is ready to serve🍋.

The South African government published draft regulations that would criminalize self-custody of Bitcoin. Border agents could demand your private keys. Treasury could force you to sell your Bitcoin back to rand. All holdings must be declared within 30 days. This happened by ministerial decree without a parliamentary vote.
Murray Rothbard described the state as nothing more than a gang of thieves writ large, legitimized through the mythology of democratic consent. South Africa's National Treasury demonstrates this perfectly. They are using a 93-year-old law from 1933 to regulate technology that didn't exist until 2009, overriding court rulings that said crypto assets fall outside exchange controls. The rand has lost 90% of its value in thirty years, and now they want to trap you inside their sinking currency.
They are doing this because of what economists call the Impossible Trinity. Any government can only maintain two of three things: stable exchange rates, free capital movement, or independent monetary policy. South Africa chose capital controls plus monetary independence, sacrificing your freedom to move money. Bitcoin breaks that equation. When you can custody your own wealth outside their system, their capital controls become meaningless.
Eleven million South Africans remain unbanked. For them, self-custodied Bitcoin is their bank. The same government claiming to care about financial inclusion just moved to criminalize the only viable savings technology these people can access. Bastiat would recognize the paradox: what is seen is "investor protection," what is unseen is the destruction of the only escape route from monetary theft.
The comment window closes May 16th. They are betting you won't notice until it's too late.
I’ve been living on Bitcoin, and I’ve seen the impact it has had on my life. I’ve been helping my people use a form of money that cannot be controlled by government.
And now they are planning to control it.
Why?
Why must Black people continue to suffer under corrupt government.
🚨 The South African government is attempting to OUTLAW FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
🚫 Under the guise of "capital flow management," new draft regulations will effectively destroy self-custody and Bitcoin's promise of financial inclusion in our country.
🇿🇦 These aren't just rules for exchanges. They are a direct attack on EVERY South African.
Here’s what they do:
‼️ BAN SELF-CUSTODY: By targeting transactions that touch global network infrastructure, they make self-custody illegal.
‼️ FORCE LIQUIDATION: They grant the state the power to force the sale of Bitcoin to the National Treasury. This is expropriation.
‼️ OUTLAW CIRCULAR ECONOMIES: Peer-to-peer transactions for goods and services will be deemed "black market" activity if they exceed an unspecified threshold.
‼️ GIVE THE STATE ARBITRARY POWER: The Minister can decide the "threshold" for illegality at any time, creating uncertainty for everyone.
✊ This is a war on open, permissionless money. It's a war on the unbanked. It's a war on your right to control your own wealth.
📜 And they're trying to do it WITHOUT A VOTE IN PARLIAMENT.
⏳ The deadline for public objection is either May 18 or June 10, depending on which government source is consulted.
We have no time to waste.
