He can't stop it but he can put you in prison if he outlaws it and finds that you're using it. This is why we need a politically decentralized world so that freedom can always find a save haven from corrupt empires.

True, but he does have the power to delay things drastically.

Correct, but isn't it for the Overton Window? Of course, his statement does not affect the fundamentals of Bitcoin, but it is better that way than to put obstacles in the way of its development.

That’s true, though it’s kinda nice to hear what he thinks about shitcoins, especially as with those he can stop if he wanted to

The only property right fully independent of government.

I’m a bit confused - hypothetically if USA was to banned bitcoin, that would just mean it would be off exchanges right? Where would I be able to go and obtain it if that were the case? Maybe purchase goods of value and sell to a bitcoiner ? Sorry for my ignorance.

👌🏻

Then why are you people constantly begging regulators to adopt and approve of Bitcoin while also asking for all your competition to be banned? You should try Monero instead, it's actually decentralized.

Dude, Lionel has to be a spook right? To be right there on the doorstep and own no #Bitcoin, barely distinguish btc from crypto, and be more interested in a 5% savings account of a fiat that's known to inevitably be rendered worthless makes no sense. It's really btc fud and fear mongering above all ...

There is no stopping an idea whos time has come.

It seems like a definite good that there is a force attempting to clean up shitcoins. Should we care if it is a regulator?

agree. he could delay uptake though

He stated very clearly all tokens are securities and Bitcoin is not. Don't you think you should tone down the suspicious accusations with regulators who are Bitcoin friendly?

they want regulate sovereignity of all 150+ smaller countries as IMF call for BAN on BITCOIN in G20

IMF planning send every pleb to guantanamo too once ur zap exceeds their REGULATORY limit

Very true, the upside is maybe now ppl will get scared and stop investing in shit coins and focus on Bitcoin.

A regulator is definitionally corrupt. The adjective is redundant.

sounds even better when read in the voice of caps odell

Zapped you Sir

Don't wait for someone else to make the change you wish to see in finance. Take the first step and invest in #Bitcoin

This whole thing you were talking about on RHR, where there is only 4-5 bitcoin core developers has me concerned personally.
