in the name of terrorist prevention, my bank wants me to sign papers, that would hand over total surveillance of all my banking-activity, to a foreign body, essentially allowing them to scrutinize me, whenever they decide to suspect me of terrorism. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 4 hours ago by naturecollision

the catch: who's to define what's a terrorist?

from my research, the war on terror is one the biggest zionist hoaxes, the group has ever pulled off. it's used as an extortion-tool, aimed at western sovereign countries, to hand over control. banking laws are highly influenced by anti-terrorism jurisdiction.

now, I may sound like a conspiracy theorist, I get it.

but the bottom line is: I am likely going to close my bank account, and I won't open another one with any other bank.

I will likely convert my fiat to bitcoin and gold, and will stop paying taxes and go off-grid.

as a freelancer, this step is rather easy for me to pull off, and if you are in a similar set-up, I can only recommend considering doing the same.

banks are not worth it, and the representative with whom I spoke, even told me I was being morally absolutely right, but he gave me excuses that his bank just "has no other option than to comply with this legislation", and that he would need to cancel my business-relationship with them, if I don't sign these papers.

this is the world we live in now, which side are you on?

It's predicted the oceans will be fishless by 2048 at the current rate of fishing.

Now if you want to make this into a really interesting metaphor imagine a giant cruise ship heading towards our iceburg. The ship, in bold typeface has "FIAT BANKING SYSTEM" written along its side.

If we get big enough before the ship finally strikes us, we're not going to brake apart... we're gonna snap that monster ship in two.

The nearest piece of land for all the passengers that jumped off that sinking ship will be our iceburg. They'll climb on and to their surprise they'll find hotels, shops, flying cars and food: a Bitcoin-driven free market. After finding all that, those passengers wont go calling for help. They'll be installing an SPV wallet and joining the market.

Hey, remember supply chain? The one blockchain use case that approaches feasibility? Well, the Hyperledger group just decided to add a new project specifically targeting supply chain use cases (apparently ignoring that half their other projects are also targeting this same use case). This one’s selling point? All the chaincodes/smart contracts are written in WebAssembly (and this project wants to make WASM the default chaincode language).

I told my mother I started investing into crypto and she just started making noise and saying I don’t want to hear anymore I’m going to lose it. Lol I never even got to say that it wasn’t even that much money. But I really hope the next bull is enormous so I can go “lalalalalala” when she asks me about Bitcoin.

You should tell everyone you know. Crypto will be normal. People need to get over this fear of being called out for being an early adopter.

Will nocoiners smile at you when the price of bitcoin goes down? Sure they will, but when it goes up and they're broke af, you'll have the last laugh.

Why do we let US lawmakers and the IRS jerk Bitcoin enthusiasts around effortlessly? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted an hour ago by A_solo_tripper

I have been feeling that lawmakers and our representatives have been imposing their will onto the good people of the US. We let them decide when to tax us, what they can tax us on, how much they can tax us, and so on. Do we not have a voice? Do we not stand up for ourselves? Do we just let some New Yorker tell us how much we need to pay?

ok, but that was 1994. in 1996 hotmail launched and america online stopped charging an hourly fee for the internet and now everyone had a personl email address; which, despite the assertion above was not used for getting someone a written message fast because email is not time sensitive and even now there can be delays of up to several hours between some servers. it was used because it was convenient in comparison to posting a letter. nobody ever thought it would die out because it had a direct, tangible, real world equivalent in mail, so it was very easy to grasp the use case for.

in two years email progressed from a business and science centered tool to a personal tool.

in ten years bitcoin is still struggling to make the reverse journey from being used by personal tools to being used by business and science tools. why is that? maybe because it's not the cheapest and fastest way to give people money. maybe because managing an 'account' is a huge hassle compared to just having a bank or credit union. maybe because it has no customer service other than online idiots screeching at you for doing it wrong. maybe especially because more than even email, a currency requires that other people use it, which is the one thing they've gotten correct - that is definitely not something bitcoin benefits from.

The petro, or petromoneda,[2] launched in February 2018, is a cryptocurrency developed by the government of Venezuela.[3][4] As of August 2018 it does not appear to function as a currency.[5]

Even after the launch, white papers in various languages still shared conflicting information as to which platform the petro was part of.[20] Due to the unorganized launch by the Venezuelan government, scammers were able to establish their own "petro" currencies on various cryptocurrency platforms, though these schemes did not garner much success.[20]

When visiting the Venezuelan Ministry of Finance headquarters in Caracas, the Superintendent of Cryptocurrencies did not have an office there and their promoted website did not exist.[5]
