Who wrote the bill?

And we know they didn't read it

They have a bunch of such bills along their agenda and just wait on events like this or manufacture events such as the BLM protests to push them through.

Tried and tested since the patriot act

Can't wait until the lobbiest are gone. When the dust settles and Trump is prez, I hope this is gone forever.

It will never fully be gone as what's going on is part of human nature. Greed, arrogance, laziness, fear, lust, etc.

There are ways to mitigate it and to make sure it stays away for as long as possible, but it will eventually pop up because it's part of what we are.

"Your $2000 check is coming"

Just give us $10,000 checks. It's all going to be worthless in months. I used to think 15 years. Might take years but fuck man.

Having 1 Bitcoin out of 21,000,000 Bitcoins puts me in an elite club though. Right?

I've heard bsv is better than btc, since btc and other currencies use off chain transactions, which could be manipulated/have fees, and can't handle many transactions per day.

mikejones 2 points ago +2 / -0

Really crypto is going to go up. Just pick which one(s) you think. The dollar becomes worthless so sideline money will flee to all the coins.

rutabaga -1 points ago +1 / -2

Agreed, but after reading up on bsv, I think you're less likely to lose money on it compared to btc, and I'd want the faster micro transactions if I was designing a small startup.

ConservConsciousness 2 points ago +2 / -0

Interesting. I'm just starting to get into crypto. What do you use to buy/sell bsv? How quick and easy is it to sell? Can you buy in fractions?

BSV is a fork of Bitcoin Cash which is a fork of BTC. To my knowledge it is only sold on Asian exchanges. I'm sure some of those exchanges don't do KYC. It is #12 coin so it has tons of volume so it will be very easy to buy/sell on those exchanges. It is up 65% today, but it is not a coin I would invest solely in. ETH & BTC is where its at. Right now its risky to get in if you don't know TA because they both have been going scorched Earth like our dreams of the Don. Gotta have those 2 in your portfolio though.

mikejones 2 points ago +2 / -0

For sure. Having 1 Bitcoin and watching it go to $100,000 or $500,000 or $1,000,000 will be nice. But if my living expenses go from $20,000-$25,000 / year to $35,000-$40,000 / year and then $50,000 / year even though I don't do anything different is going to suck.

Ideally 1 BTC is like $500,000 and I can quit my job and live off Bitcoin and hopefully over the years it goes to like $1,000,000 and I'll just sell a little bit at a time to pay my bills.

I'll see though.

I could even just get a roommate(s) and pay $600 / rent and $400 / food and survive off like $15,000 / year if I can.

PraiseBeToScience 2 points ago +2 / -0

I'm not sure how BTC is even going to have proper value in the future anyway. A currency which 90% of the population has literally none of is going to be a hard sell, unless you plan to build some society like India where you have your beautiful walled house surrounded by a vast corrugated metal slum.

Doubly so since BTC is incredibly clunky and difficult to use outside of digital systems prepared well in advance.

You aren't going to be insulated whatsoever from the conditions that will occur if/when the USD experiences hyperinflation just because you have Bitcoins.

Crypto is not at all clunky at this point. Go look at a dark web drug market like White House. Completely smooth anonymous transactions with Monero. Everyone should know or learn how to use pgp encryption as well while we are on it. Venezuela has a yooge underground economy that runs on crypto. As well as Zimbabwe.

just like all the prepared speeches at the Jan 6th spectacle attacking Trump and supporters about the supposed domestic terrorism attack they were so surprised by

They knew it would happen. So did Trump. This is all as they expected. Look at who looks desperate right now. Trump? Lol, Pelosi is sh*tting her pants.

Nah mate, she’s using her power and doesn’t look desperate at all. We need a good wake up call or we’ll always settle for hopes and dreams.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin will reintroduce the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act in the wake of the Capitol Hill attack.

The bill passed the House last fall but did not make it past the senate when it was blocked by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, but Sen. Durbin hopes the senate will reconsider the bill in light of Wednesday's attack.

Sen. Durbin held a virtual news conference to discuss domestic terrorism and the need for new leadership at the Department of Justice. He is a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

For years, Sen. Durbin expressed concerns about the threat of right-wing extremism and crafted the bill with Congressman Brad Schneider.

This next iteration will be far more robust with the new balance of power.

Yep since Trump let their Tyrant Act expire these cucks need another fraudulent reason to keep that shit around. They don't really have much of a boogeyman man of foreign terrorism anymore, so they'll make their own citizens the boogeymen to "protect" the people against themselves....aka continue the surveillance state and make it even more extreme than ever before. And sheep will eat it up and be more than willing to sacrifice their rights all under the false pretense of "security" all over again.

They paid Antifa and BLM to commit Domestic Terrorism for 9 months.

Now they don't need them anymore because they can cheat on ALL future elections.

Any "uprising" will be immediately stopped my the US military according to this proposed bill.

Who do you think counts votes in all major dem cities? BLM activists.

We need state legislatures to pass laws preventing biased counters from having any power by revoking any discretion in the process

They mysteriously found a “pipe bomb” that no one outside of law enforcement can independently verify.

Just like all other “evidence” of an alleged crime, there is no cross examination since all that’s needed is a leak to the press

Don't forget there were pipe bombs planted there. If no one walked into the Capitol building, those bombs would have gone off and THAT would have been the excuse for everything they're doing now.
