I’m no lawyer (thank god, I can sleep at night), but isn’t there an opportunity to raise a criminal case against “the government”, for knowingly breaching procedures, over reaching their powers and setting a precedence that individuals in the government feel they are above the law? If these individuals aren’t prosecuted this then sets a precedence that the law is meaningless and the power rests with unelected bureaucrats?

1.1k And now I fully understand why institutional adoption is not further along, why would any ceo or company owner ever want to open their “Bitcoin kimono” to regulators? Get paid a dividend or sell some shares, then stack. Simples.

300 Seedless is safer is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitkey makes totally reasonable tradeoffs for noobs with modest stacks. But this is dishonest marketing at best.

1k Love hearing from Fran, not only her stories about Hal (loved hearing about him buying Christmas presents), but also inspired by Fran’s positive attitude, particular after her recent injury. Best way forward is to keep working, building (whether it is your stack, skills or you leg muscles) and inspiring people. Can’t wait to finish off my 21k tomorrow, and looking forward to getting my 2025 running Bitcoin shirt.
