That was quick. Let's see, what happened over the last 1k blocks?

fees went through the roof because of scammers pretending sats were atomic things
then they calmed down sooner than expected
OpenSats got ONE MILLION DOLLARS from the Reynolds Foundation
the DoJ shut down Samourai Wallet and arrested its founders
the FBI warned Americans to not use non-KYC crypto services
Phoenix Wallet announced that it was taking its app off of US app stores

Was that it? TGIF ffs

Not sure why, but how is the @SN team still in the MSM reward list? I've read somewhere their were excluding themselves. May am I wrong 🤔 @k00b @ek @kr

II was also wondering: stackers on hiding mode should be excluded by the list... does not make any sense!

People in the US have been conditioned our entire lives to believe a lie. That we are free. Some of us. A very small number have taken the red pill. But the conditioning is deep. It especially hard to shake when you know the truth but everyone around you is still asleep. This is part of what you are seeing. Many of us get it but we are pissed.

I live in the US. I'm just pissed off. Sleeping fine though. I'm not enjoying the fact that open source devs are in jail right now and many others are likely concerned they might be next.

I get no joy from this. Just as I get no joy when I hear of people being imprisoned all over the globe. Those that have harmed no one. They are guilty of wanting to live their lives. They are guilty of thinking the wrong thing, saying the wrong thing, loving the wrong person, having the wrong faith, or not paying off the right person. The state is evil and I take no joy in the evil work it does.

The federal actions against the Samourai Wallet team, being arrested for running an unregistered money service business, is having a chilling effect.

From ACINQ who runs Phoenix Wallet

Recent announcements from US authorities cast a doubt on whether self-custodial wallet providers, Lightning service providers, or even Lightning nodes could be considered Money Services Businesses and be regulated as such.

This is shocking. That it's come to this shows how afraid US elected representatives are of the FBI and CIA.

These 'security services', including MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, are out of control and more dangerous than any external threat.

it's really not shocking at all.

I'm more shocked by everyone's naivety.

This is without a doubt, expected.

If you are at all surprised by these events, you shouldn't be.

Use this moment as an opportunity to harden your Bitcoin operation.

Run your own software, learn to use coinjoins, payjoins, tor, i2p, vpn's. All of it.

Be aware these things exist and what they are, what their trade offs are.

For more details see this thread and resources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/17o3v8v/fincen_megathread_do_not_give_them_your_silent/ https://bitcoinprivacy.me/

Learn the benefits of running a Bitcoin node. Run one, not just for your privacy, but your overall Bitcoin sovereignty. It’s very easy to run a node. You install a program (usually bitcoin core) and let it run. That’s it. This can be done on windows, linux and mac.

Go a step further by verifying the binaries of the bitcoin node program you download.

Go a step further by building Bitcoin Core from source.

Go a step further by running the node over tor or i2p.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to assume as if anyone cares. They don’t. They have their own problems, and their own distractions. So you do you. You do what you dare. That courage IS what ultimately sets you apart, and, at some point, may become a flame of inspiration in the eyes of others.

Blacks Law

Before we go into Legal Titles we need to refer to Black’s Law. This dictionary details the legal definition of words and titles.

Legal Title

Removal of your status is done to you by way of sleight of hand, by making you accept a Legal Title and all the legislation that applies to it.

Changing your status makes you agree to waive all your rights in exchange for benefits and privileges. However these so called benefits are nothing of the sort.

Privileges: means asking permission to have your freedom back. Benefits: mean you now have to pay any charges or bills, or even go to prison.

The following are legal terms, and if you accept them you have been moved out of a Court of Law and into a Legal Court or a court of legislation; you have lost your sovereign status.

Note: Anything written in all caps letters refers to Dog Latin, Glossa or ASL meaning your name in all caps letters makes reference to your dead entity, or corporate fiction.

Person

The word person comes from the Latin word Persona, meaning: human being, person, personage; a part in a drama, assumed character.

This originates from a mask, or false face, that covered the whole head, which was worn by the actors in Roman theatre.

The word Person today is making reference to your Legal Identity, and not you as a sovereign. If you accept this title then you are now within the Legal World or System, with the lowest status within an administrative court.

The meaning of the word Person includes Natural Person, Firm, Co-partnership, Association, Limited Liability Company or Corporation.

Civil Society

Civil means “Roman”, which refers to Roman Law, which in turn actually refers to legislation and not law.

Meaning a Civil Society is a group of people who have unknowingly agreed to be part of, and a member of, a society that is controlled by Roman legislation.

The origin of modern day Equity Law is England.

The origin of modern day Legislation is Rome.

The following are legal terms, and if you accept them you have been moved out of a Court of Law and into a Legal Court or a court of legislation; you have lost your sovereign status.

This is what many people do not want to comprehend. There's no justice system if you already lost your sovereign status. Once you enter in that room, you lose everything.

Have you consulted your lawyer

Is the legal term for someone who abides by the laws not "citizen"? Or are you talking about something else?

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @nullama 26 Apr

Citizenship is a membership and allegiance to a sovereign state.

It's just being a member of a club. You can in some cases be a citizen of multiple countries, or also stateless.

The most common case is people get their citizenship by birth, but there are other ways of getting it, depending on the country.

The origin of the maritime law conspiracy theory is unknown, though it may stem from a misunderstanding of some nautical-sounding words in common usage in the English-language judiciary such as ownership, citizenship, dock or birth (berth) certificate. This theory is entirely devoid of merit: when invoked by litigants, it has been consistently dismissed as frivolous.

saw someone asking for advice on buying a water filter - isnt a better way to solve this problem is moving to somewhere with better quality water? Because it's not just the water you drink but the water you take showers in or even the food that grow in it; I know this because I was losing quite a lot of hair when I was living in Istanbul, the water is so bad there...

and water is with much healing effects if you found good sources, e.g. it magically healed my skin problem last year and seemingly grew my eyelashes somehow. 👀

but I guess everything is connected - water is only part of the important things that needed to pay more attention to.
