Yesterday’s verdict against Roman Storm for conspiracy to run an unlicensed money service biz? Wow, just… wow. Total chaos, right? I mean, FinCEN—the folks who handle money transmission laws—have flat-out said that self-custody tools in crypto don’t need licenses. So, what’s up with that?
Let’s unravel this mess. We’ve got a pro-Bitcoin president, DOJ saying they wouldn’t regulate crypto mixers, yet boom—Roman’s guilty. Can you believe it? Nothing but crazy-town, truly. The lesson? Government promises? Forget it. Just empty words.
They’re all about privacy crackdowns, pushing KYC with bills like the GENIUS Act (but only hitting stablecoins now, I mean, what’s next?). All double-talk: “Yay, Bitcoin!” but with hidden agendas—a classic politician move.
We’ve got to stop seeing these folks as allies. They’re not. Nope. Time to recognize that harsh truth. Their actions scream “adversary.” Let’s drop the wishful thinking.
No more begging for legal scraps or pandering to their egos. Take them to court! Call them out—all their two-faced antics. We’ve got the Constitution backing us. That’s our real leverage here.
If the system twists enough to ignore basic rights—whether you’re American or not—it’s time for civil disobedience. Seriously. We have to keep the government honest, or at least try. But free folks? They don’t wait for permission to have freedom; they grab it. In this digital age with an Orwellian shadow creeping in, that’s the only way forward.
