    What about physical bitcoin? There is a guy who made devices that allow for bitcoin to be spent in the physical form, where it is stored on a device that can be verified to have whatever is claimed on it, but only transferred once a specific piece is broken off. I know you still have it coming from an address and into another, but you can always make a new wallet and retain the ability to stay anonymous more or less. Either way I assume there are operations washing BTC through exchanges to monero and lost, though I am sure this has to come with suspicion of new wallets with BTC from that was originally Monero when traced back as far as it can.

I can let you do the rest of the math, or you can know that your BTC is correlated to your network traffic and physical location with just a few tools. This statement is true for MOST people, but not all. Same for Gold. The difference is how you get it and what you do afterwards. There's a reson they will ban cash. There is also a reason the newer generations will gladly accept digital...... their bondage will be soo convenient.

    Drug users received incomparable customer service from the Silk Road ecosystem. When something from SR put me in the psych hospital, I was able to warn other users in my feedback. I still gave five stars, because the vendor gave me what I ordered, but I made it clear to other users that I had decided to flush it. The vendor responded rapidly, apologized for my experience, and warned others himself.

    The crypto scene is full of people who choose to believe the things they like. Smart and educated people who should know a lot better, but nope. Most are blind to a simple fact that the costs that go into designing, manufacturing, servicing, running and fueling the ASIC mining network massively outweighs the gains it brings into the economy in solving practical problems. Especially because bitcoin proof-of-work problem that the ASICs are solving shouldn't exist anymore in the first place, since first proof-of-stake solution was created 10 years ago, that still works just as well as proof-of-work but with MUCH lesser costs. Crypto is madness of current times that is fueled by greed and stupidity. People with weak ideals and those who manipulate them for personal gain. History will look back at crypto with a big WTF.

    William Leonard Pickard was in prison with Ross for a while and probably knows him better than most people. Leonard only got out from two life sentences for being the largest LSD manufacturer ever (aside from Eli Lilly I guess) because of the fentanyl crisis, the papers he wrote on fentanyl becoming a crisis back in the late 90s, and COVID sympathy (old man dies in jail from the flu type sentiment.) You should interview Leonard, there's tons and tons of material there, and he knows a lot about whatever Ross was doing since they were best budz for several recent years.

    I disagree with the judge's argument of increasing violence internationally. It should not be the legal fault of anyone in a country, by that country, for crimes committed outside that country. Who cares if my actions indirectly cause violence in a foreign nation? I'm not being charged in that foreign nation, nor am I a citizen of that foreign nation, so why should there be domestic legal action taken against me due to events in a foreign nation? Now, if said foreign nation wants to take action, that's fine, but a judge in the U.S. should not be legally allowed to sentence someone based on the actions committed (or for that matter, assumed actions, since there probably wasn't any evidence given to back the claim) in a foreign nation.

    This guy's been writing about Bitcoin since 2012 and he still doesn't know the plural of bitcoin is bitcoin? Also, if you didn't know that every transaction has always been traceable, that's on you. It means you never bothered to learn what the word blockchain means. And if you're that intellectually lazy, you get what you get. Everyone I've known in the crypto world since 2009 has understood this basic stuff. It's the whole reason that blockchain would be perfect for government spending and voting. It's traceable and transparent, the two things the government doesn't want applied to them, but desperately want for the people.

    I'd like to know how the authorities keep their infiltration underwraps when they take over as the admins? Every one of those admins prob talked to many other people, not necessarily about super secret stuff. Like do the original admins continue to send out messages or relay what to say to the agents? Would think it is pretty noticeable to see a difference in somebody especially in that type of environment.

The financial institutions will come for it, why they use their excess funny money to buy it all up and think they drove up the market, then Satoshi fixes it by evening out the coins between everyone, single handedly removing the wealth gap... Sounds like a decent plan and a hell of a task for an individual. One can dream right?

    Idc it's 100% the elites/CIA. If it wasn't, the creator wouldn't be a mystery. Like, what other big thing in history, especially something like the primary competing currency, has a unseen creator lol? Convenient. Especially when they have such a hardcore agenda to get to CBDC to enslave the human race. The thing that sealed it for me was executive order 14067, signed the thing on March 13, the 6th month thing ended on Dec 13th, the exact day SBF got arrested (like why wasn't he arrested way before that) Ftx & SBF were a sham & shill from the beginning, to justify regulation. (& Fund the DNC) Essentially a financial false flag to crack down. No different than a staged mass shooting to crack down gun laws.

Only community/person, who would not need to use his coins. At all.
