Nah
"the nail that sticks out gets hammered down"
Interesting. I didn’t know that is what was happening
“Budget neutral” was always vague in my mind. What did it mean? I would have never guessed it meant use the existing legal system to hammer a small startup for coinjoining and take their Bitcoin for the SBR
Precedent therefore set for other spurious legal processes to gather Bitcoin for the government
Not really.
But but but, my boating accident....
Someone is winning
If you don’t take an interest in politics, politics will take an interest in you.
Very disappointing…
The plea was them being retarded to not understand the legal precedent they could create with peer of jurors.
This is NOT winning… this is them (Govern Mental) controlling legal/contract precedent.
How do the people intervene to call BS on the plea?

Horrendous
Nope.
Shiiiiiiiiit
it is not
It is losing.
Everything govt has is by theft and coercion, so not surprising
Winning or losing is black and white thinking and with 8 billion+ individual actors in the global economy it's much more of a gradual process.
In the end we have already won, because eliminating debasement theft is the biggest win against the rent seeking class in all of human history and sets humanity on a new trajectory of growth.
Not if you can't access it
Yes we are winning despite these roadblocks
I’ve never supported a government having a bitcoin reserve.
😬
Highly underrated post
We need to become more rich to buy more politicians to make good laws so we can say we won.
But first we need to get much more rich. Currently only 2-3% of wealth is in Bitcoin and Bitcoin based businesses. It has to be over 50% for us to win in democracy (maybe we can buy politicians sooner, but not much sooner).
Shiiiiiiiiit

SBR is the new 6102.
Yeah, but if it is the rich people holding the Bitcoin they can keep it hard to afford a UTXO and make money off lightning fees.
It's a big loss in my opinion. What is the point of Bitcoin without privacy and freedom. What will happen when Bitcoin protocol will implement controversal privacy feature at its core?
🎯
Oooh, so budget neutral just meant extracted from a few... as opposed to non-budget neutral which means extracted from everyone
Any true #Bitcoin er know from the beginning that the samourai case is the only proof of winning or keep fighting.
There is no trade off.
Big oof
Those sats will be set into the timechain to remind these dinosaurs forever the sacrifice these guys made for the benefit of us all
How much funds will they be having to forfeit?
Nevermind, I found it, $238 million worth
Feels bad man
Do powerful people desire to acquire and hold bitcoin? Yes……. bitcoin is winning.
Complying with government edicts and demands is losing.
His version of winning is making the state more powerful against its citizens
That’s all a state can do. I’m sure his lobbyist friends are enjoying the winning.
This space is a fucking embarrassment
And yet…
😐
Seems like these so-called "Samourai" didn't understand the Bushido Code where losing face is worse than death. True Samurai would have gutted themselves and allowed their heads to be taken before "pleading" guilt to a victimless crime they didn't even commit.
A Samurai doesn't "plead" with anyone!
They certainly wouldn't have handed over their private keys either, these Deb's were role playing at being Samurai, LARPing armchair warriors who buckled, bending the knee when it came time to die in a battle the invited upon themselves.
