  The world quickly needs to understand that physical goods being exchanged physically in person are the best shot we have at anonymous transactions.

  It will be a multi polar world of different currencies like bullets and ramen, but that is the only way to ensure the middleman doesn't do something you didn't expect or accept.

  How the hell is True North even on here??! They are an Alex Jones-level conservative crisis actor resource that doesn't have the best track record of being accurate. Is there a better link out there? Flagging this post in the meantime...

  Canada just made at least 20% of it's population into "terrorists". Terrorists with bouncy castles. Guys this is it. I'm sick of it and a hell of a lot of us are too. We are not going to allow the whole world to become a totalitarian state to continue enriching a few hundred men. Everyone I know who read the book 1984 is now in complete agreement with it. You all lost the plot. You'd kill 20% of the population over a disease that maybe kills 2 percent of us?

  A bill passed under the guise of "preventing terrorism" being misused?

  Crypto is obviously used by terrorists, but crowdfunding sites are fairly heavy handed with terrorist and terrorist-adjacent campaigns
