FinCEN’s proposal to outlaw all crypto privacy is a huge overreach. They apply a section of the Patriot Act on a “class of transactions” in a new precedent. Doesn’t matter if it’s custodial or noncustodial- merely using certain type of code can be an illegal act.

People are caught by the potential spot ETF, meanwhile this is proposed. Now they fight you.

If the time to disobey wasn’t clear to you, this should make it so

Is it even possible to comply if such a law was forced on us? Isn’t privacy by default already being built into layer 1 and 2?

Is the spot Bitcoin ETF is a psyop to distract us from impending totalitarianism??

share this with your representatives in the most persuasive manner. This among other things slowly attacks and reduces ways to flee tyrannical governments. The legal fight / stance is important.

Let's face it, if one day any government decides that crypto is illegal, there won’t be absolutely nothing we can do about it. For the moment, the crypto movement is tolerated, but if the feeling of mistrust towards a state, a currency or an institution grows, the tide may turn, and not necessaril...
