How do they propose to eliminate cryptoassets, or is this just another fundraising/grifting appeal?
To eliminate peer-to-peer exchange networks, they’d have to ban cloud computing and the internet itself. They’d have to ban barter transactions.
If those things happen, I won’t be alone in violating the law frequently.
Oh, golly. I bet those poor Republicans have no idea what they are doing. They will be so surprised. Those clever Democrats have once again out-smarted our dear ol’ GOP and advanced their dastardly New World Order.
Mine won’t even remove the 79 yr old PREVERT LT GOV in Tennessee. got a verbal dressing down. RINO.
We already have digital currency.
The only time I use cash is to buy an occasional lottery ticket. And, I need quarters for my laundry room, because they switched to a PayPal style clone, which I refuse to fund.
Everything else is billed to my credit card, which I pay in full every month.
I forgot one other item...
From time to time I think about buying legal marijuana.
I think that is cash only in Washington state.
I still have not taken the plunge, but I may need my ATM card for that if I do.
I just contacted my state rep here in Arkansas. I urge others to do the same.
A common history...
A common language...
A common currency...
Without these you do not have a country; you have a whole bunch of people with different ideas, goals and beliefs trying to get along.
Wonder who’s paying them off?
"THESE 12 Republican [??? emphasis added] states are smuggling digital currency through THIS sneaky bill"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The current 12 states are where MAGA patriots actually need to primary a bunch of RINOs in 2024. This is for the simple reason that the states constitutionally prohibited themselves from using anything but gold and silver coin for currency, peacetime paper money and debit cards (I use debit card) unconstitutional imo.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 5: To coin Money [emphasis added], regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;"
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts [emphases added]; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
"If it were, in fact, an unconstitutional exercise of power in congress to pass a law establishing the bank, nothing can manifest the impropriety of over-stepping the limits of the constitution, more than the act which we have just noticed. It shows that the most unauthorised acts of government may be drawn into precedents to justify other unwarrantable usurpations [emphasis added]." —Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6, St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries 1:App. 262--64, 1803.
So hopefully more masks of elite political party politicians who haven't read blatantly ignore the Constitution that they swore to protect and defend are going to fall off in time for them to get primaried in 2024 as a consequence of this issue.
In fact, regarding Clause 5 of Section 8 above, note that the drafters of the Constitution wanted only metal coin money because paper money had proven hard to regulate, paper money defeating the fed's power to regulate value of money.
Justice Joseph Story had put it this way about problems with paper money.
"It has been justly remarked, that the power "to coin money" would, doubtless, include that of regulating its value [emphasis added], had the latter power not been expressly inserted. But the constitution abounds with pleonasms and repetitions of this nature."—Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 4 and 5, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 732--33, 735--39
"It is further to be observed, that the states cannot issue bills of credit; not that they cannot make them a legal tender; but that they cannot issue them at all. This is a clear indication of the intent of the constitution to restrain the states, as well from establishing a paper circulation, as from interfering with the metallic circulation [emphases added]."—Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 4 and 5, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 732--33, 735--39
I question if Democrats and RINOs of the very corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have read the discussions of constitutional lawmakers and are deliberately establishing policies that lawmakers had decided against to purposely try to destroy the constitutional republic.
Patriots, the bottom line is this imo. What is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping unconstitutionally big state and federal governments controlled by bully, constitutionally undefined political parties, from oppressing the people under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, corrupt political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
“ & all others will be eliminated”…
How are they going to do that? Whoever came up with that, they have no clue how crypto assets work.
Crashing the monetary system is a healthy way to defeat. Eventually, God knows how long, every country will collapse and pay homage to the WEF. They have plans and promises of security for a select few.
When you hear the words “And for other purposes”—it means the bastards hid bad stuff in the pending legislation...
