The government should stop terrorists from using crypto, because the government should… stop terrorists.
That doesn’t mean crypto is “only good for terrorism.”
The gaslighting is absurd.

I'm a huge fan of most Bloomberg content but this opinion article by @matt_levine is really bad. I respect most divergent opinions but it's written either as propaganda or from the perspective of someone who has never actually sent a bitcoin transaction.
For example:
"So if you send someone Bitcoin to pay for something, there will probably be a typo in the address and the person won’t get it and you’ll have to send it again and your first payment will just be permanently lost."
Usually you copy it, not type it. And there are checksums in a bitcoin transaction. It's pretty hard to mess up, kind of like IBAN. It's designed well. "Probably" implies the majority, whereas a true mess-up would be a tiny minority. This is neither journalism nor serious opinion.
And then I get to this line and have to double-check to make sure I'm not accidentally on The Onion:
"The third classic problem is that, if you are using Bitcoin to pay for goods and services, there is a good chance that you are paying for something illegal, and Bitcoin payments are traceable. So if you send someone $16,000 worth of Bitcoin to buy a $16,000 thing, (1) some of your money will go missing in transit, (2) the Bitcoins you send won’t be worth $16,000 and you’ll have to send some more, and (3) the $16,000 thing was a murder and now you are in prison."
He then went on to describe where someone hired a hitman for $8k and accidentally sent it to the wrong address and had to do it again. I mean... okay. Way to find the fringe idiot as though that's standard.
I had to double-check that this article wasn't from 2012, because it's a weird set of fringe-cases presented as normal.
It's like saying "You want to pay for something in cash dollars? They're covered in cocaine and you're likely paying for a mob hit. Let me tell you about this guy that..."
Bitcoin is just global open-source money. There are 160+ currency jurisdictions in the world and many of them rapidly dilute their peoples' money and censor their peoples' transactions. Bitcoin is an emerging alternative for them.

Example 2: Your partner is being distant
The difficult conversation: "I am feeling anxious and a little off about our relationship. I know you're busy with work. Are you feeling like we're a little distant right now too?"
Relationships end because people don't talk.
They assume, they react, but they don't actually have difficult conversations.

We’re less than 24 hours away from our critical FEC fundraising deadline. Saturday at midnight, we report to the FEC our fundraising earnings for the last three months. The pundits look to these numbers to judge the strength of our campaign. Maybe it shouldn’t be that way. But it is. Last quarter, so many of you rallied to donate that we raised $3 million in three days, and we sent shock waves across the establishment. Please help me do that again.

Why is anyone honoring Feinstein?
She was one of the most corrupt politicians in America. She employed a Chinese spy for 20+ years. She served as Senator for 31 years, and what did she accomplish?
Thank her for her service? She served no one but herself and her donors.
Her net worth is $220 million. That she stole. From you. Via insider trading and money laundering. All the while she allowed California, and her District of San Francisco, to turn into a drug-infested 2SLGBTQIA+ homeless zombie apocalypse.
When we talk about “establishment politicians”, she’s at the top of the damn list. She’s been a Senator for 31 years, and under her watch, America has turned into a shithole. Not only did she let it happen, but her Left-wing policies made it a possibility. She played a significant role in destroying California and this nation with open border policies and woke insanity.
So spare me with all the “Rest in Peace”. She was one of the main reasons we are in the position we are in today. She destroyed America and I wish her no blessings in whatever afterlife she faces.
And before anyone says this is partisan, I feel the same way about McCain, and any other Deep State traitorous rat who bites the dust.
Some of y’all don’t hate establishment politicians enough, and it shows.
@nashsocial This is amazing. So Nash can be my normal bank now? I imagine I can make transfers to other IBANs? This is next level if so, and I don't think the people realise. Next debit card
It’s no secret that big corporations own Washington DC. I’m running for president because I want to take their power and put it back where it belongs — in your hands.
On Sept. 30, we report to the FEC our fundraising earnings for the last 3 months. Last quarter, so many of you rallied to donate that we raised $3 million in 3 days. And that sent shockwaves across the establishment. I need you to do that again to show the doubters that we are a force to be reckoned with. Because we’re stronger than ever. And I need you to show that to the world.

🚨BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Assassination Scare | Heavily Armed Man Detained
A heavily armed man who posed as RFK's security was arrested at a campaign rally.
This comes after RFK's unsuccessful requests for Secret Service protection since declaring candidacy in April:
"I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection."
"I'm still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection."
Both RFK's father and uncle were assassinated, so this attempt is severely distressing for the Kennedy family.
WHAT HAPPENED:
RFK's security detail did not recognize the man, who was heavily armed, in protective gear, and with a U.S. Marshal badge, and detained him until police arrived on the scene.
Following the arrival of police, the unnamed man was then arrested.
The man is now likely to be charged with impersonating a police officer or federal agent and possibly unlawful possession of firearms.
STATEMENTS BY RFK:
- "The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID."
- "He identified himself as a member of my security detail."
- "Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest."
WHY NO SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION?
In July, RFK's request for Secret Service protection was denied by the White House.
“Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me.”
According to the U.S. Secret Service website, they only provide protection to presidential candidates starting 120 days prior to the general election, which means RFK won’t be eligible for protection until July 2024.
Analysts also note that RFK will never get Secret Service Protection as he is not considered a 'major candidate'.
It's important to note however, Obama was granted Secret Service protection early in a campaign, same as what Kennedy is seeking, 'as he faced unique threats as a Black man with a realistic chance to become President.'
Should RFK get early protection due to his family's history of assassinations?
Will the Biden Administration offer RFK Secret Service protection?
President Biden could put to rest any concerns about his fitness for office by engaging me in a vigorous, issues-oriented debate. Let’s end the speculation and let the voters see for themselves. #Kennedy24
