“…They imprisoned him for making a website” Careful you sound like a leftist with how much context you seemingly left out on purpose. That’s the problem when you make billions of dollars by committing crimes, the profits are going to be seized by big brother….
1930s all over again at the USA, back then with the gold confiscation and now this.
Governments do not want your economic autonomy, they want you under their dependency so they can maintain their hegemony.
Remember when Bitcoin was supposed to protect people from getting their assets seized but actually turned into a government honey pot to track illegal or illicit transactions. Nakamoto is the US Gov.
Wasnt his web site a dark web node to buy and sell illicit drugs? Maybe I am thinking about the wrong guy.
monero fixes this
Didn’t Trump say he would free Ross or was that a joke?
Did you forget that he put hits out on people?
*And it’s official. Murder is now legal in r/libertarian.*
Plus the 50% something Bitcoin that the NSA mined since day 1.
Reason to not use Bitcoin #1
It’s literally public data.
All the government needs to do is catch your BIG ASS transactions and they have you. They have everyone you’ve ever transacted with, they have everything they need to nail you for life.
Use monero or wownero(monero but with a hard coin limit). You may be thinking “but Bitcoin has first movers”, so did seashells at one point. The best money will win, and that money will be monero/wownero at the moment.
Bitcoin “strategic reserve”.
Lol
Not a fan of government but “imprisoned him for creating a website” is a bit like saying human traffickers are arrested for driving a truck.
I neither condone or condemn the “blackmarket” business he had.
…but didnt Ross Ulbricht [hired a hitman to kill an associate that stole crypto from him](https://gizmodo.com/actually-the-alleged-silk-road-kingpin-hired-a-hitman-1440610170)? Sure that he fucked up and the hitman was a fed, but still I claim that having the right to pay for a hitman to kill someone is NOT an libertarian value.
Lol… the “website” in question is the Silk Road 😅
So it’s money that they stole….imagine that….fuckin government
Not your keys, not your Bitcoin
He did promise him a full pardon at least
Trump is worth a shot if libertarians want to get further in politics not our proudest moment but it’s a foot in the door
