WHAT POWELL JUST TOLD CONGRESS IS NOT TRUE. He said: “we’re not telling banks that they can’t bank certain people, um…” & then he caught himself. Because that’s not true: the Fed directed Custodia’s partner banks (yes plural) to close our accounts.
@TobiasRuck@LukeGromen@kingpilled Aristotle characteristics of money
Durable, Portable, Divisible, Intrinsically Valuable
We know that money serves as
A Store of Value
B Medium of Exchange
C Unit of Account
D a system of control
analog money = gold
digital money = Bitcoin
fiat money fails @A but is fantastic@ D
My god sentiment is so bad right now. Even if somehow we all still make it this bull run, we're all gonna come out of it completely mentally fucked up and scarred for life.
@HHorsley Traders focus on the price discovery and measure value, strength, momentum, volatility, derivatives data
Investors focus on Macro economic climate and the Fundamentals of a project
Traders are high time preference
Investors are low time preference
ngu will bring them together

My name is Roman Storm, and I am one of the founders of Tornado Cash, a non-custodial privacy protocol.
I am being prosecuted for writing open-source code that enables private crypto transactions in a completely non-custodial manner. This prosecution represents a terrifying criminalization of privacy.
The charges against me threaten to criminalize software development itself. If successful, the implications could extend far beyond the crypto industry, impacting every software developer. I face up to 45 years in prison on charges including operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and sanctions evasion.
This case has already had a chilling effect on developers working on software tools. Recently, a developer filed a lawsuit against the DOJ, seeking relief because my case has made them fearful of releasing new software.

Additionally, there is significant confusion around the 1960 charge (operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business), as different government agencies have conflicting interpretations of the law.

“This prosecution threatens to criminalize software development itself,” said Keri Axel of Waymaker LLP, my legal counsel.
American entrepreneur and politician @VivekGRamaswamy commented, “You can’t go after the developers of code. What you actually need to do is go after individual bad actors who are breaking the laws that already exist.”

The 5th Circuit Court has already ruled that Tornado Cash sanctions were unlawful:

However, the DOJ has dismissed this ruling as irrelevant:
