Humans can be born without a license, and frequently are. Same with private businesses. Public companies cannot exist without a license. Just because birth, household formation, and private business are heavily regulated in some times and p

Capitalism has always been a creature of the state. Kings gave licenses to private individuals to invest, operate, and run public companies. Nowadays it’s more complex but the first step to create any public company is still to apply for a

There’s limits to property rights even among the most extreme voluntaryist political philosophers. Rothbard, a famous anarchocapitalist, wrote extensively about why property rights don’t extend to slaveowners. Unlike private households and

The big tech companies are not private; they are public companies that rely on state force to maintain their monopolies. Just as an example, intellectual property laws rely on the state for enforcement.

Deniability. The executives can claim third parties are abusing the platform while simultaneously enabling the abuse. Whether or not that’s true, the outcome is the same; cloudflare’s actions force smaller operators to switch to cloudflare.

This is one of Cloudflares well documented tactics to force people to purchase their subscription services. I suspect but have no proof that it is overlooked by the authorities because an internet centralized under Cloudflare is easier to c

Personally, I quit my job at a time I had $300/mo in income from my startup and lived in an old suv. Yes there is a bottom limit but it’s much lower than you might think. A big limitation many people have is their family, since if they

There isn’t a fundamental difference between ought/is. Both moral judgements and facts are based on reasoned beliefs. Why do you think meaning is required for making a value judgement? I can very easily claim that killing humans is wro

There’s many forms of nihilism, and purpose nihilism wasn’t the subject of my comment. A Nihilist is more stable than you think. A tree doesn’t need purpose to grow, and neither does a human. Instead they follow a process that’s expressed b

And what exactly is wrong with a nihilism? If we don’t really know what’s going on, maybe we should accept that truth and move on with living better lives less swayed by political propaganda. Given how many relationships have been ruined be

The first thing that comes to my mind for d/acc is disintegration acceleration [1]. Anyway the big problem that’s never addressed is whether humans have political control over the process. There’s a strong reason to think humans don’t;

The point is self custody. Even if a trade were to fail (it’s more difficult than you might think) the funds stay in you custody before and after the trade. That’s different from a cex where you’re trusting someone to hold all your assets.

Most of these 1099s are going out to people who owe little or no tax on the transactions, such as people who split restaurant bills worth more than $600 over the course of a year.

Unless they do a complete and total eradication program, that will just create a selective environment for tokens that are able to avoid SEC fines. What you’re saying does seem to be the SEC strategy, and it is probably the profit maximizin

A lot of people use crypto for utility, which is why it doesn’t go to zero in bear markets. Not everyone needs or wants crypto tokens, but those that do form the base of the ecosystem. You can call it dumb money if you want to be elitist, b

Once people start receiving the scary and confusing 1099s next year from using Venmo et al. from Bidens new policy, crypto may seem preferable to some people. Pro taxists often underestimate the fear common people have of tax authorities.

That’s definitely a possible outcome. I don’t think the universe enforces cosmic justice though, so it’s just as possible the west transitions into the post-state era with stronger institutions and more access to resources.
