The Government is trying to muzzle Roman Storm during his own trial. If the DOJ gets its way, Roman Storm will be precluded from introducing (1) evidence regarding lawful uses of Tornado Cash; (2) argument aimed at jury nullification, "including that his charged conduct was protected by free speech and privacy rights"; (3) evidence and argument concerning cryptocurrency regulations or policy; (4) evidence of the Defendant's failed attempt to cooperate; and (5) evidence or argument concerning the Fifth Circuit's Van Loon decision or the legality of OFAC's sanctions on Tornado Cash.

Test

This is creepy even for fiat standards.

In Count Two, the DOJ originally alleged that Samourai conspired to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(B) and (C). The DOJ recently withdrew subsection (B) in a superseding indictment, leaving only subsection (C) remaining. Thus, liability for Count Two now hinges on whether Samourai was a (1) "money transmitting business" that (2) "involve[d] the transportation or transmission of funds" (3) that Samourai knew came from or were intended for an unlawful purpose.

I deserve a lil treat for cleaning all the glass

The 2025 St. Louis tornado is the tenth costliest on record with $1.6 billion of damage. The EF3 killed 5, injured 38, and had peak winds of 152 mph.

The only crypto that I hear normies talk about these days is XRP.

This is even more dramatic than a lesbian breakup

Wish he'd keep his paws off the walls but that's probably not in the cards

This is making leg day harder

Spam is not the problem. The problem is there isn't more of it. Bitcoin only works long-term if miners can make enough revenue from txn fees alone.

Woofie loves you

Lmao but also somewhat relatable

Hard forking should not be taboo discussion. After all, Bitcoin will have to hard fork by 2106 anyway to fix an overflow bug. All options should be considered to ensure that Bitcoin is censorship-resistant freedom money.

Me: Is it humid outside? Roommate: No. Me: How is it not humid outside? RM: It just didn't feel humid to me. Me: I'm looking at the app right now. It says it's 88% humidity. RM: It just didn't feel humid to me. Me: Is it possible you don't know what humid means? It refers to moisture or dampness in the air. RM: I know what it means. I just didn't think it felt humid. Me: *steps outside* For God's sake it feels like the bathroom after someone takes a hot shower. This doesn't feel humid to you? RM: Well you know how you always say DC is humid? It doesn't feel like that. Me: ... Is it possible you're conflating temperature and humidity? Those are two separate and independent variables. The air can be hot and humid, but it can also be cold and humid. Again, humidity refers to moisture or dampness in the air. It has nothing to do with temperature. RM: Well okay. That's good to know then.

I'd be more bullish on bitcoin if there was more conversation on privacy than on spam. It's not easy to sever your bitcoin use from your identity.

Someone at Bitcoin 2025 needs to convince JD Vance to get Trump to pardon the Samourai Wallet developers. The DOJ is waging lawfare against open-source software developers under an egregious interpretation of the law that could make any bitcoin miner the next target

I want the IMF destroyed.
