The Supreme Court usually sides with the regime.

"Time to go full self custody" doesn't really fix the problem of selling or acquiring bitcoin. Would have loved a decision that put up even a little friction between exchange records and the IRS.

Despite the general friendliness that has been touted, I fully expect gov'ts to continue to lock-down on and off ramps to Bitcoin in the coming years. The whole purpose of the coin is to resist state censorship. It doesn't have much purpose beyond that.

Taxes are a scam. Use coinjoin to disappear, then use Lightning to teleport.

American men are cucked. This is why taxes are so high everywhere and why surveillance is so prevalent. The fact you can’t take out $10k from a bank and not have it be reported to FinCen tells you all you need to know about the current times yet cartels, and all the other criminals still manage to clean their illicit cash and live a life of luxury while the bank squeals on you for taking out too much of your own cash.

Yet people expect this to change with Bitcoin is laughable

The third party doctrine is bullshit, but it is current law, so it's not at all surprising that this would be the outcome here.

I don't care much for "third party doctrine"
