Probably because you have to register. Who want to be on some kinds of bitcoin list
I've heard a lot of both sides so I don't know who to believe at this point, a lot of people say they were as*holes and deserved what they got, others say they didn't and must be free, I don't know. I guess I'll sign it anyway because I support freedom tech even if this case it was bad.
They wrote code that helped people coordinate transactions to preserve 4th amendment and 5th amendment rights in the digital age. Fincin said they were not doing anything illegal because they did never took custody of anyone's Bitcoin. They were prosecuted anyway. Were they assholes? Yeah. Did they say some dumb shit about enemies of the United States? Aldo yes, but writing code should be protected under the first amendment of the United States Constitution. The problem is that the Bill of Rights has been eroded to the point where the Anti Fedralists have been proven right. This is not TDS. This is the culmination of 80 years of assault on civil liberty in the United States.
100% agree, thanks for that, I gotta look further into this case, I want to know more.
Basically how I feel about Ross Ulbricht. Like he 100% is not exactly a good guy but I don’t think he deserved the sentence he ended up getting. I’m glad he’s free though but the dude 100% was a drug kingpin

I mostly hadn’t signed it because I don’t think things like this do anything but I eventually did sign it on principle. Trump knows about it. Hopefully it gets pardoned…but then they still have the conviction on the books and the precedent…
Well yeah. I'd say this methodology filters out a lot of the bots, but certainly not all. If you account for remaining bots, and remove Japanese and other more isolated groups, this is a very small bubble. image

I’m not removing the Japanese that’s Xen*****ic
The Japanese-speaking community on nostr is the best community here, they don't talk about the same boring stuff as the english-speaking community. But I was responding to the note in English about the petition. They are not going to be reading that note (well I'm guessing most aren't). I think they stick to themselves pretty much. Power to them.
