@DaleVince Tax the “rich” more so governments can make increasingly poor financial decisions, then go back and ask for more years down the line to then continue to make increasingly poor financial decisions while laying it on thick about fairness and everyone must do their part. Yawn.
@KelvinGray01@ZackPolanski It’s very easy to sit there and say “let me tell you what to do with the money I’ve had nothing to do with generating”. Then they have the gall to say we don’t need their money for taxes! Uh yes we do… to fund the lifestyle you want to sponge off of you utter moron.
@ItsThomAnt@PeterSchiff@ZohranKMamdani Yea because raiding other people’s wealth and vilifying them always goes well. When will socialists and communists learn that sticking your hand in someone else’s pocket is cheap and drives low productivity societies. The answer is they won’t because they are grifters.
@Pentosh1 I think Pengy is right with the SBR…
“potentially derived from cryptocurrencies lawfully seized by the Federal Government through its law enforcement efforts.”
Newcomers to Bitcoin may not understand why old timers care so much about Ross Ulbricht. Let me explain.
He embodied the ethos of early Bitcoin more than anyone. He was an entrepreneur who created a thriving marketplace.
He believed in radical freedom, including the freedom to trade anything with anyone else so long as it was peaceful and voluntary.
He regularly wrote about his views on freedom and why he built the first truly successful Bitcoin business - the Silk Road. He wanted to created a better world and believed his principles deeply.
Politicians like Schumer targeted both Silk Road AND Bitcoin as criminal enterprises that needed to be shut down.
When he was convicted the judge and the establishment threw the book at him. He was a first time, non violent criminal and they locked him up and effectively threw away the key.
In the early Bitcoin community we all felt how unjust this was. It was like they were locking up one of our own out of spite for what we all believed was a peaceful revolution.
Now tens of millions of people own Bitcoin and many just because of Number Go Up. Never forget there was a deeper purpose here and that getting rich is a nice side effect of that greater purpose.
Fix the money, fix the world.
@elonmusk The @BBCNews never mentions “far left”. To the them anything “right” is “far right”. Try googling both and see the difference, it’s beyond bias.
@AltcoinSherpa @0xkyle__ Interesting read. I do wonder if this cycle becomes remembered as the cycle where alts were barely average. Sure there is point examples of insane success but feels like it won’t be as face melting as 2017 or 2021. Merry Christmas btw!
