Lemmy is just not a great platform if you value personal property and individual freedom, it was started by socialists/communists and it shows. It's pretty random that I even answer to this post because I check lemmy only once every few weeks. >97% bitcoin here.

    They’re trying to dump their bags on the US government. Is it illegal? Sadly no. Should it be? Yes.

    If they are dumping their bags now, which SHOULD make them criminals, what were they when they bought those bags? You make zero sense.

    Your opinion won’t matter. You don’t own an exchange, you aren’t a major bitcoin miner, and you’re not a platform landlord or newspaper editor.

    Again you show zero understanding or knowledge of bitcoin. Node runners showed miners who is in control in 2017, and they will happily do so again.

    To make an analogy for the lightning network, imagine each time you made a credit card payment, you have a to roll a die, and only if it comes up as a six, your payment goes through.

    That's cute, previously you pretended that only onchain exists, and now you're a lightning expert, an expert who is unable to run a well connected node. Okay.

    Not useful to law abiding citizens, exactly.

    Are the senators and state legislators who advocate for bitcoin strategic reserves all criminals? You don't know what you're talking about.

    The scarcity is debatable because of forks.

    A fork will never be considered bitcoin by my bitcoin node, and nobody who runs a bitcoin node is incentivized to increase the limit on bitcoin as it would only devalue their bitcoin. Again, you don't seem to understand even basic concepts about bitcoin.

    which leads to a transaction limit of 7 transactions per second

    Oh my, you're stuck in a narrative from 2017. Again, you don't know anything about bitcoin or the lightning network.

    The bill, known as the Digital Assets Authorization Act, was passed by a 176-26 vote.

    The legislation offers regulatory clarity at a time when federal regulations on digital assets are scant. While former president Donald Trump has promised to transform the United States into the "crypto capital of the planet," his vision is short on details.
