Have you noticed the recent increase in the 'Bitcoin is an NSA/CIA/etc Trojan horse' talking point within fiat-aware interviews? Seems to be popular with the metals bugs..

You can speak your money transfer details over the phone, for example, giving someone access to a bank account. This would make telephone companies money transmitters. Likewise you could email same, making email client software providers and ISPs money transmitters.

Russia has seized approximately $439.5 million from JPMorgan Chase’s bank accounts in Russia, according to various reports. This move is part of a lawsuit filed by Russia’s state-owned VTB Bank against JPMorgan Chase, which seeks to recover the funds that were frozen in response to US sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The Russian court ordered the seizure of the funds, which include money in JPMorgan’s Russian accounts, as well as the bank’s stake in a Russian subsidiary and property rights related to some trademarks. This decision was made in response to VTB’s complaint that JPMorgan was taking measures to withdraw its assets from Russia while the lawsuit was ongoing.
JPMorgan Chase has filed a lawsuit in a New York federal court to halt VTB’s efforts to recover the funds, arguing that American law prohibits the release of the money. The bank claims that VTB’s prospects of success in the Russian lawsuit are uncertain, and that JPMorgan is simply abiding by US law by not releasing the funds.
The seizure of the funds is a significant development in the ongoing legal battle between JPMorgan Chase and VTB Bank, and highlights the complexities and challenges of navigating international sanctions and legal disputes.

But while cash is still a thing, does it mean that if you have a physical leather wallet that you put money into and then take money out of to give to someone else, you now need a license to operate said wallet?
And what if, instead of a specifically designed digital wallet, you just put some keys into a Word document and send that to somebody? Is the government going to sue Microsoft for being an unlicensed money transmitter?
Hopefully the courts will flush this nonsense down the tubes...

Although it's not the government so much, but the shady fuckers at the BIS, FATF, WEF, etc, who would never stand to be elected by the public, yet want to control everything the public does, who basically instruct the government. Blockchain based direct democracy apps your time has come. Can anyone build one and start running it in parallel, like the Bitcoin monetary system runs in parallel. Until such time critical mass is achieved...

yes, banning cash is coming very soon. In the EU it's already being severely limited and use of it ostracized. This will come by inducement or enforcement to all countries under the BIS purview unless there's a serious public movement against it. And I don't mean all of us just moaning to each other..

JPMC are in court on average once a month for a plethora of repeated financial and other crimes. They have payed many billions of dollars in fines. For them it's just the cost of doing their dirty business. Same for other 'systemically important' banks. Generally, nothing ever happens to their CEOs or licenses. They pretty much just get to repeat offend indefinitely. Why? Because as the institutional face of international organized crime, with the power to take down the system, they generally can do what they want. This has been going on for a long time. They're not going to give it up easily. But if the world is going to get out of its doom loop, this stranglehold has to be broken..

Imagine a blockchain based form of direct democracy. Legislation proposed or passed can be put to a vote if [n] citizens sign a referendum request. The law in question is passed, repealed or amended based on subsequent votes. The count and decision is transparent, real-time and inviolable. Devs could build such a system. It could run in parallel as an experiment. It could eventually become so popular that the pressure to integrate it for real into the system becomes overwhelming. If you build it...

The way out of hate spirals is just to feel sorry for the haters and bullies. That releases you psychologically, and they lose any power to trigger your defenses. They are genuinely hurting in themselves and it must be horrible to be them. But they have to live their life, you don't have to live it for them. Let it go with a compassionate glance. Get on with being you.

They don't care much about sex toys but the money is their control mechanism. You mess with that in a meaningful way, the control matrix gets upset. Yes, guns are another control mechanism but how do you recruit and maintain an army? Money. Once you've established the fiat printing and laundering networks, you don't want some computer nerds coming in and being a nuisance.
