I'm sure they could seize it, since they can and do freeze and sieze bank accounts as well. However self custody ensures they can never get it even if they kill you, and since it is programmable money there is a way to ensure it gets t

Hmm, similar to how heavier than air flight was thought to be impossible for humans? Interesting how the will of a few can shape humanity. I love it.

All of your examples do is show the steps the present banking system has taken before a loss, to aid recovery in the future, after a loss. Planning ahead is rewarded in life, what can I say.

I don't think people realize how much money JP makes. A cursor search shows that the fine is less than 10% of their last quarter NET income of 12.1 billion. I would certainly keep doing illegal things if my only penalty was a simple fi

It would be great to have something last so long. But then the marketing team wouldn't be able to come up with a new redesign every 6 months. And there would be less overall profit than building cheaper versions to fill our landfills w

I don't think he had any expectation or interest in winning. He bought his way in to divert votes from other nominees. Spend a billion to save 10 billion.

I agree. Electronic waste is only getting worse over the last decade, with everyone getting a new phone every year, new laptop etc. Even if everyone optimally buys/sells used, the devices still end up in landfills because the hardware

I replied back to one of these and explained that due to their anti-union actions, and they way they treat employees, I would never be interested in working there, no matter the salary. I thankfully have never received any more of their spa

You claim you're tired of insisting you don't know anythig, yet you beleive you have no democratic say in BTC monetary policy. You don't know what you don't know.
