That's NY's fault, my man. Not Jack's.

Isn’t that bc of how hard NY makes it on them ? With all the regulation n licenses ? ps. I think Africa needs it more than Americans.

Yikes man

we're trying. it's NY that won't let me, not me

Don't blame Jack. NY is not part of America - just one more reason to move away from that dystopian state.

Americans are least interested

why are you still living in that hellhole?

fuck authority by paying taxes to your overlords who restrict financial freedom? I mean I guess you can claim you build hard enough in other areas to overcome that deficit.

Exactly 👽

Someone’s gotta ₿ the change, so I guess it’s gotta be us. Beats complaining about it from somewhere else and doing nothing.

There’s 2 schools of thought. Build around or it through it. It kind of mirrors the debate of whether it works bringing change from the inside. Most days I’m for around it but on certain days I think this can’t work. But the 2 prong approach wins

I’d imagine that’s the same for the UK too. Regulation is getting very restrictive for bitcoin/money apps here. Basically can’t buy bitcoin with GBP without going to an exchange that has been KYC’d to the max. Pocketbitcoin was one of the latest to stop payments in GBP.

New regulations in the United Kingdom: The FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) has just introduced the new regulation "PS23/6: Financial promotion rules for cryptoassets" in the UK. This new regulation has come into force in the last few days in a fast-track process and means that from now on we will no longer be able to accept and process transactions in British pounds as we did previously.

The authority.... https://image.nostr.build/6ce14b619028a46587e55998e7df7f6c1e067eb030ff08d8999264472ad8f2d4.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=600x600&blurhash=UkIh%24*Mxo%23kE%7EXIUxaxt.9WFs%3Axt-%3Bj%3FR*kC&x=ec446d9a6ba62cc8941faba1df75b2a15b5b7d78c59755a06d5d0290bfb101c4

NY is the worst; a New Yorker

'Suis ntéressée professionnellement Jack, par ce déploiement et vos projets sur l'Afrique Asie etc.. que je suis les projets via les conférences notamment via Africa Bitcoin.. Pourriez vous via DM m'informer sur vos besoins réels sur place une documentation vos plans d'action.. .. J'ai juste remarqué que les pays francophones ou portugais sont peu dans les plans alors qu'ils ont un besoin pregnant de changement de système monétique et de plus il y a une grosse partie de l'Afrique qui est oubliée. Serais prête à y participer besoin cependant de lire plus d'informations sur ce déploiement surtout les territoires concernés après Ghana, Kenya. Afrique du Sud Nigeria Je vis à Paris surtout disponible. Je m'imprégnerais de vos projets afin de répondre rapidement. Merci. Bonne soirée Jack et est-ce ce plan est en collaboration avec Block Grindless Esaki, Tanzanie !? Dans cette attente 🙏💜🔥✋⚡

We need to keep the pressure on the bureaucracy. It’s been ten years since the BitLicense. It’s done nothing except consolidate power in institutions that have proven they can’t be trusted.

Would love all federal and state funded programs to disappear entirely. Have never been able to name a single one I feel can outperform similar options from the private sector.

I hear you, but IMHO that isn’t a realistic goal for probably our lifetimes. That’s why it’s important to focus on specific issues that have a chance of success, like repealing or drastically reforming the BitLicense.

BitLicense is a complete scam. “We don’t understand something, so until we do, it’s banned” is so short-sited. It takes a few YEARS for companies to go through the legal system just to be allowed to operate as normal as they can in 49 other states. Everyone knows this, and not sure who gave NY any authority to operate like this. It hinders innovation and business severely.

I’d say the exact opposite…you know you’re a hardcore bitcoiner if you live in New York. We have regulation here that limits access to using certain features of platforms that integrate Lightning and exchanges. For example Strike and CashApp. There are work arounds but those workarounds are not common to many.

Bitcoiners in NYC are the resistance ✊
