Much like in the US, only the poor and middle class will havw to follow these laws.

I remember the day the Wells Fargo scandal broke there was a local story about a teller at one of their branches getting sentenced to 6 years in prison for stealing $15,000. All I could think was, "She didn't steal enough to be innocent."

This one is great because of the person defending their idiocy in the comments. It doesn’t matter how much my bitcoin is worth if I never convert it to real money! I just have to wait for it to become more accepted as a currency!

Any minute now!

EDIT:

There's a strange correlation between leaders who have decided to leave the dollar, and leaders who have been executed. Weird, right?

Its gonna happen. Might be 5 years from now, but its gonna happen. If people could buy groceries with bootcoin, it would be useful. So once a major super market or similar starts accepting bitcoin, it will be actually useful.

This is actually a very true point for long term investing. So many people panic if the markets tank and they sell all their investments when that's that worst thing you can do if this is like your retirement plan for 20 years down the road. Ride that poo poo out and accept there's going to be potentially major ups and downs along the way. You haven't taken a loss until you sell.

Except that's for actual real grown-up investments, not loving bitcoins which are just cyber-tulips or e-pogs.

Right wingers want to split California in two because they believe the democratic majority there is a tyranny.

Except they made one critical mistake.

They kept San Diego, Tahoe, and Eureka in their new state, so the new state would also have a Democrat majority.

Also Los Angeles moved to Ventura County, for some reason.

Bitcoin being useful, much like SC ever coming out, is a pipe dream existing only in the fevered delusions of those in the depths of sunk cost fallacy.

Only because you're not donating your graphics card's downtime to the cause. Of only the Government would force every computing device to donate time to the cause of helping Bitcoin hobble forward we would have a viable and truly libertarian currency.
