Regardless of what Elon has or hasn't done, most Tesla owners haven't done anything to deserve attacks and vandalism. The same people doing and supporting this also encouraged electric vehicle ownership to combat climate change and now they are acting like if you drive one you are an actual Nazi. If the CEO of Apple does something the left doesn't like are these idiots going to go around breaking peoples iphones? My friend who is an excellent Uber driver who rents a Tesla got reported to Uber for "driving intoxicated" by some wannabe activist or whatever these idiots think they are. Pretty sure it was solely based on the fact he was driving a Tesla given that the dude doesn't drink or do drugs at all. Even if you set every single Tesla on fire, Elon will still be rich and powerful and you will have accomplished absolutely nothing other than hurting a lot of innocent people. Hurting people or destroying property isn't activism, it's just crime.

Will civil asset forfeiture be the "budget neutral" method for accumulation of BTC for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? Keep your computer encrypted and logout anytime you get up from the keyboard. The state doesn't need to actually prove a crime to take your BTC, I think they found out about this guy's 100+ BTC because they saw the Ledger Live app on his laptop. https://x.com/Bill_Fowler_/status/1898861420701274155

People are way too bearish considering BTC is still trading above last cycle's high! Just don't look at the ETH chart, this is why all crypto portfolios should be >50% BTC

@deployer never stops experimenting. Could clanker based prediction markets catch on? Maybe, maybe not, but how can you know if you don't try.

Within a fundamentally broken fiat monetary system that enables the kind of wealth inequality we are seeing, taxing the rich is nothing more than a band aid on a gun shot wound. Rich people will still be rich and the state will have even more money to not help anyone with, most of it will be wasted in the endless bureaucracy of the Federal Government before it ever gets redistributed to any poor people, so all you do is make the rich a little less rich and possibly force them out of the tax base entirely, make the state have more money to squander, and maybe welfare checks go up a little bit which will just be eaten by inflation. Instead of trying to tax your way out of wealth inequality, you have to change the entire monetary system. When the Federal Reserve creates new money out of thin air, it inflates the currency and rich people who own assets are fine with that, anybody who doesn't own assets get destroyed and can't ever get ahead.

"As economist Robert Higgs explains, "Fiscally, protectionism is a poor source of government revenue that dries up completely as tariffs are increased so much that they reduce trade flows to zero. Morally, protectionism is vicious because it coercively substitutes the ill-informed and ill-directed judgment of government officials for the judgment of people making deals with their own private property."" https://reason.com/2025/03/14/tariffs-raise-prices-spark-conflicts-and-make-everyone-poorer/

These are the kind of Ethereum folks I'm interested in following. These core values of privacy, security, and censorship resistance are more important than anything else. @lefteris.eth @polymorphism @kassandra @millie-x @alephv @julian-z @tim-clancy @ml-sudo @dystopiabreaker @optimizoor @pcaversaccio

Trump is talking shit about Thomas Massie for being the one Republican brave enough to vote no on the wasteful spending bill. Massie is one of maybe two congressmen who aren't corrupt and even have any principles left. https://x.com/RonPaul/status/1899535869020696600

The United States owes trillions in debt yet if any spending is cut lately it gets criticized by liberals, so I'm curious what programs are liberals OK with cutting spending on? If we cut everything liberals are OK with cutting, how much would it add up to? Or is the liberal solution to just raise taxes on the rich and not cut anything? Is there any kind of liberal roadmap to an actual balanced budget?

This is stupid. Homeless shelters can be horrible places to live, god forbid a homeless person want to live outside instead and have autonomy over their own life. https://sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-could-jail-homeless-residents-for-refusing-shelter/

All the taxes from tips amounts to about a measly 4 billion dollars in actual tax revenue. For context, the US government spends that much money in ....18 hours. Get rid of em, it's a whole lot of paperwork and undue burden on service workers for an insignificant amount of revenue. https://reason.com/2025/03/08/yes-we-should-end-taxes-on-tips/

I read on Nostr that Michael Saylor advised Trump that the United States should try to acquire between 5 and 25 percent of the total supply of Bitcoin through regular purchases. Michael Saylor doesn't understand BTC, the point is to escape the nation state's control of money, not strengthen it. No one entity should control that much bitcoin and certainly not any government!

People think they can change things by voting and working within the system. Only this doesn't work when the government doesn't even follow it's own laws and ignores the constitution on a regular basis. The system has failed and needs to be dismantled, not changed from within.

Good news. Any supposed benefits to forcing KYC compliance are more than outweighed by the loss of freedom, privacy, and physical safety. KYCing creates honeypots for hackers, and can lead to crypto users being targeted for phishing or 5 dollar wrench style attacks. https://x.com/L0laL33tz/status/1897362336018825313?t=MrCz2Y_yS2glQe51XryvOQ&s=19

People love to complain about conditions in their city but then on election day they will vote for local government candidates based solely upon the letter next to their name without bothering to find out anything about the candidate and their actual positions. This is an old article but it is still hilarious, it's about how the trans, self described satanist, and libertarian podcast host Arya DiMezzo successfully got nominated for sheriff by running as a republican in the primary. https://apnews.com/article/e1580367018108b09755dfb994395c0a
