One day, it would be nice to see a well-capitalized challenge to the Bank Secrecy Act on 4th amendment grounds.
The Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw that people need a license to transmit money, or that the government thinks it has the right to surveil and censor everyone’s money and transactions.
The default is privacy. To infringe on someone’s privacy should require probable cause and come with checks and balances. Ubiquitous surveillance shouldn’t be the default, since it enables tyranny.
US policy is so easily bought I am really surprised that ultra wealthy bitcoiners have not already added pro-btc politicians across the board in every state and at every position. Maybe they are the “I don’t believe in voting” libertarian types 😂
In case people do want to actually do something about this, the answer does not lie in the political system. It does not lie in the legal system. Sorry Lyn, but you’re flat out wrong.
These systems have been fully and completely captured. To try to change things using the tools of the state is simply absurd.
The way to change this is to vote with your feet, your wallet, or your genitals.
Move out of the US, ditch the US dollar, refuse to produce yield for anyone but yourself (become self-sufficient), and for fucks sake (yes I know), stop producing more slaves for the masters.
This is all the leverage we have left.

I think an all-of-the-above strategy is important.
The 1990s encryption wars were won by a combination of 1) building things they can’t stop and 2) using their own constitution against them.
The same is true for open source money and privacy. Build privacy tools they can’t stop, and also challenge all major overreach attempts legally.
I can understand where you’re coming from since these are the tools you are familiar with. The examples you give though are equivalent to small battles that have been won in the context of a much larger losing war. Ask yourself whether, since the 1990s, privacy laws have improved or worsened as a whole.
I’m sorry, but I maintain that using the tools of the state won’t work.

This. The Bank Secrecy Act must be overturned to enable commercial entities to provide transactional privacy to their customers.
One can imagine a reemergence of free banking based on Chaumian ecash tech like cashu, fedimint, and others.

Yes. This is why CBDC and/or PPDC (public/private) is being pushed. It's about control. We're dealing with central bankers and powerful families/groups behind the scenes who are tyrants. All the while, many are here acting as if it's just some "wayward" politicians/bankers. These politicians and low-rung bankers are just being controlled by central bankers who want total control.
Don't submit.

"Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!"

You need standing to challenge. And, to have standing you need to be in jail. The Samourai people may not be heroes, but they are victims, are Bitcoiners, and have standing. Why not make this our hill? I’m ready to put my money where my mouth is and I’m sure others are as well.

Look to the anti roe campaign “well-capitalized” = a war chest to fund campaigns, vet justices/judges, legal researchers, lawyers, outreach on college campuses and ultimately to sway by public opinion.
I don't think we are a big enough contingent. I think we need to stay out of the way of the mass unrest due to inflation that they are preparing for with a police state and need bitcoin out of the way. What we need is to keep building and using bitcoin
I don’t think we are enough either. That’s why I live the way that I do.
The very bad times are here already. I just want to do what I can to not make it worse for others.
The #Founding #Hypocrites would be rejoicing, realising how many "#rights" they gave their political descendants.
They obviously have "the right" to do whatever they want, because they are doing this and countless other injustices.
A #gangsterment started as a series of crimes under laws of the day and a fraudulent document, can do anything the same way:

Now is the best time accumulate more using sophisticated algorithm tools and strategy for longterm adoption.
If you haven’t join the (RCL) yet, the time is now, you can easily flip over 100x ROI using this effective strategy.

I stand corrected. I based my assertion on the opinion of someone who mentioned those cases but blew them off. I need to do more "don't trust, verify".
Sadly, the fiat system is secured only through surveillance and threats of violence to punish abuse
Get rid of surveillance and the banking system is no longer "secure"
If only there were a financial system that was secured by something virtuous instead of punitive
In Europe there is now a cash limit of up to EUR 10,000. Above EUR 3,000, you have to prove your identity. Thanks to inflation, these limits measured in terms of real purchasing power will decrease all by themselves over time. In case of gold, for example, this limit used to be EUR 1,999.99 in the past. A few years ago, an anonymous purchase of 1oz was still possible. Thanks to inflation, this no longer the case.
Would there be a possibility of crowdfunding this issue? It’s painfully obvious the bankers have their mitts in all the avenues of regulation and legislation. It will take some considerable resources to get this entrenched industry (banking) some pushback.
What about using a Private Membership Association PMA structure along with 508 c1a in the US to help provide protection now? We don’t need permission. It’s a constitutional right. It’s an unalienable human right to have and practice privacy

Similarly, it would be nice to see a well-capitalised challenge to EU AML regulations based on Article 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Monero is a well-capitalized challenge to the Bank Secrecy Act on 4th amendment grounds.
Don't be strong in words and weak in actions. Use the tools to challenge the state.
