Heads up!
Squarely in the “and then they fight you” stage.
Happy 9/11 everyone!
In the spirit of a country that has learned absolutely nothing from its 20+ year “War on Terror”(tm), the Treasury and Congress are actively working on legislation that would apply the PATRIOT Act to digital assets.
This includes a blanket ban on any tools (and behaviors!) that grant users transactional privacy, as well as the authority to ban *transaction types* without public input or notice.
Not reported anywhere else, so make sure to drop us some soon illegal zaps so we can continue doing this work.
