The entire point of Bitcoin is to transmit money, everyone needs to stop making idiots out of themselves by denying we are doing this.
If the government ends up ruling "Yes, you need a license to run a Bitcoin node or hold Bitcoin keys", then you have dug your own grave by pretending they have the authority to control this in the first place.
Grow some fucking balls and be proud of transmitting money. Stop begging the government to reevaluate their regulation that denies you this basic human right.
"You have dug your own grave by pretending they have the authority to control this in the first place"
This is so true. People have lost dignity and self-respect by blindly following what the government says. In reality, governments, borders, laws are all fictional and have no power over individuals. They have no say in what you do or say.
As a public entity or company, you must play by their rules because you signed a contract to be a part of their system. However, as a private individual, you are not bound by these rules.
If the government introduced a breath tax, requiring people to report their daily oxygen intake, would you comply?
