S.401 - Fair Access to Banking Act

[Nardvark]

It's fucking sobering how someone can pour their soul out about this overarching mess, a particularly personal one, only to be met with shitposting and unserious snark. Won't be long before there's nowhere left on the internet you can be passionate without haha-funny-gotcha sarcasm following behind

I don't think anyone on this website would vote "No" if you handed them a magic ballot that fixed the issue. This is Kiwi Farms, people are here to laugh.

While crypto has saved the site, the people who happily sit on the sidelines and just spam "Crypto/Bitcoin/Monero fixes this" while fingering their asshole are only contributing to the slow death of the country. We are not going to see mainstream adoption of bitcoin and if we did it would be regulated just as hard. It basically already is. Try getting BTC without doing a colorectal biometric exam for the platform.

Not that worrying about hypotheticals helps much, but what exactly are we supposed to do once governments start pushing for the death of physical currency and create EuroCoin or JapCoin or FreedomEagleBurgerCoin to turn the entire real world economy into a DarkRP server? If the goal is economic control, this is the very obvious next step and will allow them to surveillance every transaction and instantly repossess all your money or stop you from trading if they don't like what you're doing. It's literal serfdom 2.0.

Drop the infighting over dumb shit.

Unless what you're doing is actually illegal -- as in you could get arrested, charged and reliably convicted for it on the spot -- you should be allowed to do whatever the fuck you want with your own money. Period. Doesn't matter how morally reprehensible it is to however many people. Your money, your choice. If its a crime fucking arrested them but don't bullshit around.

Right now, there's a giant flaming loophole that basically allows a small pool of pencil-necked desk jockeys to control the resources of the entire fucking world, and that loophole needs to not only closed but buried forever.

This isn't a hypothetical at all, because that's exactly what's going to happen whether we like it or not.

i'm like 95% sure the government doesn't enforce the obscenity law because it would get thrown out if the guy they're trying to ruin had any sort of money for lawyers. Otherwise they'd all be like Texas.

Perhaps not. Trump cancelled the existing plan and shit all over it, openly mocking the idea of a government crypto coin.

The average person doesn't have the attention span to read a paragraph let alone an essay

You could work on your writing a bit, brevity is the soul of wit after all. Here's an example of what you could have written instead of you long drawn out garbage.

Hey josh for what its worth I say this today

I assume if you reached out to these people about the nature of the problem they would look at wikipedia entry on kiwifarms and go "yeah even though our interest align you re a liabilty"

 

[Towoman]

I mean that's apparently the demographic that's being appealed to here while completely alienating a large demographic that was already on Null's side about this issue but will read the word "holes" to refer to women and click off because it's entirely unnecessary and obvious pandering to a certain demographic (sexless gooner gamers). Which is very ironic considering the part just before that saying people trying to turn this into Gamer Gate 2 are stupid, then why pander to them? Whatever

if you fail to notice that holes refers to screeching aussies and not all women and get offended you are retarded

An important lesson to carry with us into that hypothetical timeline.

And honestly not much far removed from FIAT as it stands now if it just replaced it and were backed and perpetuated the same ways.
By and large we still operate with speculation and economic faith based money.
Just the formula is backed a little more predictably with amount in circulation and GDP and economic functionality on a good day.

IE: Our existing currencies are at MOST 33% powered by shared belief in it as opposed to 90% with most e-coins.

for the record, the "average person" message i wrote was meant to be satirical, I was able to read Josh's essay no problem.

 

[George Lucas]

She thought of Null as "one of the good ones" and in her psychotic moralistic value, any transgression from "one of the good ones" cannot be forgiven. Funny thing is I didn't even process that hole could be interpreted as "vagina haver", my mind went to asshole and it being some modern shortening of it. But then again, the moment I see "moid" or "femoid" typed non ironically, my eyes glaze and I move on. Anyway, it's Drip showing that she's the subset of hysterical harpy that is only interested in the tranny question but outside of that would march in lockstep with the globohomo agenda of feminizing men and masculinezing women.

She has had cognitive dissonance for a while due to the blockland stuff being on the back of her mind. ‘He’s grown from that’ is what she would tell others and herself. The moment in OP was just the push needed to turn the white into black. It all comes tumbling down after that.

I know a lot of people will go 'Ah but it's a waste of time to try since they won't listen!' Which would be a compelling argument except for the fact that the time will pass regardless, and (((you))) don't use it for anything that productive anyways. I harass my MP all the time, and the faggot responds every now and again and gets into an argument with me when I've baited him on some random shit. It may be screaming into the void as an individual, but collectively that does get shit done.

It's also good for the soul. More people should try it. Even if you try and don't succeed it feels immeasurably better than the continuous malaise of never having tried. Trust me on that.

And besides, every attempt leads to the next and better attempt. You learn, you meet people you have something in common with, you get past the psychological block of inaction. Seriously - everybody reading this thread who has never bothered to write to their representative, who's never gone along to a meeting, who's just sat at their computer bemoaning the world, should try something, no matter how small. It feels good. It feels right.

Careful, if you forget a single line he might get mad at you.

I have no sincerity and I must be ironic.

Whoops! Long day and I have a haddock.

Corrected!
