Since BcashSV is waning, and Bcash is trying to make bag-pumping noise, it's time to dust off a @BVBTC classic:

This meme never gets old

It’s easy to get rich #bitcoin

BSV = bitcoin scammer vision

faketoshi is done

It’s time to scrap AML / KYC entirely. The idea that politicians should know how citizens spend their money is a new and deeply flawed idea. An entire generation has been fooled into thinking this is a necessary part of finance and the world continues to double down on an unworkable system. Only 30 years ago when I started my career as a stockbroker/ financial advisor I could call you on the phone and sell you MSFT or IBM stock and I did not need your DOB or your social security number. You didn’t even need to have money in the account. The 1990s to the post 9-11 Patriot Act (which was a horrible law) saw a radical increase in AML /KYC requirements. These seem to get worse every year. In my office when we were first required to take a drivers license, the older brokers were incredulous: “What do you mean we need an ID for someone buying stocks?!? What’s next, you need an ID to buy gas or groceries?” Now, just 25 years later an entire generation thinks this is normal or how it should be. Worse yet, some think the system won’t work without it. The opposite is true — the compliance gums up the works and adds friction where it should not exist. While the regulator class arrogantly acts as if AML KYC is their birthright and ending it is some sort of untouchable rail, the justifications are weak. Why do we have these regimes? To stop “money laundering”? What is that? Who is the victim? Is it to stop “human trafficking” or “terrorism”? If so, how? Is it to “stop” the 12,000 entities on the OFAC list by messing with the 2,000,000,000 people not on the list? Are major criminals somehow stopped by this? Has it stopped crime? Even if it did, is it worth burdening millions of firms and billions of people with paperwork and procedures that slow down commerce? Shouldn’t efforts be made to go after the actual criminals rather than encumbering the entire world with an inefficient compliance regime? Money must be able to flow and move. People must be able to take risks and make investments as they choose. This is the lifeblood of a solid economy and the jobs, growth, prosperity and peace that comes with it. The US (and by extension much of the world due to our influence) is sacrificing jobs, innovation and opportunities by chasing an extremely ineffective and indirect compliance regime. The entire idea belongs back in the dumpster of history. Let the investigators chase terrorists & human traffickers for those actual crimes and let the other billions of us use and move our money as we wish.

We've all been through those stages on our path to become bitcoin maximalists

It's increasingly likely that governments will protect and promote KYC'd Bitcoin, custodied BTC, and regulated Bitcoin securities While at the same time discouraging or even prosecuting non-KYC activity Building out global non-KYC BTC infrastructure remains mission critical 🫡

Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity. Organic decentralization. Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable. We had one shot, and it worked. #bitcoin

COPA v. Wright - Day 69420 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🧵 GM - I didn’t manage to go to bed before 5am 😳 neverheless I’m on my way to the Rolls Building. I’m pretty positive (but not 100% sure) that today the Hough and Gunning will cross examine Failetoshi and discuss the Madden report on the latest forgeries. Today is the last day before the oral closing (in a week time). Either way it’s gonna be a great day *except for Craig Wright I made a drawing to sum up what we can expect today in court . Are you ready?

If I have to point to a spot where Craig Wright lost the COPA v Wright Identity Issue trial (and therefore the whole string of connected cases) *AND* will be forwarded for criminal proscecution... It's here. Justice Mellor will not take this lightly, I think. h/t @CryptoDevil

Ethereum is a shitcoin

Anyone remember when Craig Wright posted "signatures" from block 9 on the @satoshi account (via @andyrowe)? People noted that these forgeries could be made by anyone. But did you know that these particular signatures are *provably fake*? #FaketoshiFail I'll explain... 1/6
