Ok, maybe. So I will run my nodes illegally. I think a bigger danger is the whole "money transmitter license" theme which is not over.

Just run core v30 with datacarriersize=80 in bitcoin.conf. All they change is the default value.

No shame in that. One needs a good reason to admin own node, like running a shop that acceps sats etc. Routing as a business model only works from much higher capital investment and rig sophistication.

Not by territorial invasion. US is the financial empire that monopolized reserve currency issuance and control of transactions. US exports to the world dollars created from nothing. When majority of the world (by population) stops using these rails, the collosus will collapse. BRICS is building alternative rails, and there is also Bitcoin. Time will tell...

Ok, thanks. Don't use Bisq and did not notice any problems. If I do, will change to 40 or 80.

Actually, Spain is being conquered by Chinese businessmen. All with valid visas.

Many do choose this life, and the US propaganda does (did) awesome job to attract them. Only few realise there is no exit when the trap shuts. Denouncing US citizenship is much harder than getting it.

yes, and their empire fell. like Rome to barbarians. now US's turn.

Of course, they cannot catch up and will remain resource colonies. Drug cartels will supply for as long as there is demand in the US.

Unlikely. Lesson learned.

UK does not tax its citizens worldwide, and I don't reside there.

You did not learn in school that all of Africa and Latin America/Caribbean were colonies?

Green card status forces worldwide taxation by the US, much like citizenship. I am glad my life did not follow that path.

I did not self deport to Spain. I found a job offer in the UK, and they did not have work visa caps. People's lives are unbearable in their home countries because the collective west exploits them as resource colonies. Cause and effect.

Trends come from a child's environment: family, teachers and friends/neighbors, not DNA. So I do believe in tabula rasa, how else can it be?

A migrant with a valid visa is still a migrant. Without - an illegal migrant.

The legal status cannot be established without a due process, just based on ethnicity.

in retrospect, my luck was awesome to escape life sentence in the US of A

I run Core with datacarriersize=0

Knots is too slow on my pi4 and cannot sync

My wife calls me average, but she is just mean.

good riddance

No need a trophy, thank you. I paid taxes (lots!) to social security in US and three other countries with no chance of getting anything back. But I'm fine with that, I got bitcoin. I had to leave the US when my work visa could not be transferred to another employer due to visa cap and other legal bullshit. But I doubled my income in the UK. My point is, not all migrants are bad for "your" country. I put quotation marks because we don't pick birth places nor parents, so nothing to be proud of. And also, there are dumb and smart people of all DNA origins.

Well, they have press 2 for English in Spain. I am a migrant, now living in my fourth country where I pay taxes. Maybe you forgot your whole continent belonged to Native Americans before Europeans externinated them. So you are a migrants' descendant too.
