On Bump Stocks, the Supreme Court Is Divorced From Reality https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-03-02/supreme-court-bump-st… Every so often, a Supreme Court oral argument is so divorced from reality that even a seasoned court-watcher like myself finds it jaw-dropping. The court’s consideration of whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was right to define guns equipped with bump stocks as machine guns was exactly that shocking.

The floodgates of cryptoanarchy The United States has historically taken a firm stance against the crypto industry, hindering its growth for years. However, Lubin believes that the decision to impede the industry’s progress may no longer rest solely in the hands of policymakers. “I think the momentum is picking up, and it’s unstoppable,” he said. Abandon trust all ye who enter here He emphasized that crypto was born into an era of constrained and controlled money, but it offers a paradigm shift towards decentralized trust, a concept that had never been seen before Texas Blockchain Massacre In a landmark ruling, the Texas Blockchain Council (TBC) and Riot Platforms Inc. have triumphed in their lawsuit against the Biden administration, successfully halting the data collection efforts on bitcoin mining operations! https://cryptonews.com/news/ethereum-co-founder-joe-lubin-bullish-on-crypto… “We are in this 4th turning, and we are ready for a new system of the world,” he said when asked about the catalyst for the next super cycle.

A memecoin could be the next edollar to big gods egold. Anythings fungible when everthing is negotiable. Now try telling that to political morons like Balaji and Butthead! Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience I am not making global anarchist revolution for anything resembling business as usual. " WE MEAN IT Ma . . AAAN!"
