Title: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Andrew Bitcoiner on October 20, 2011, 05:40:33 PM http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111019/17424316421/louisiana-makes-it-illegal-to-use-cash-secondhand-sales.shtml
Expect the Fed to enforce this or try to make it mandatory across America. IMO another sign that the Federal Reserve Note is losing its grip by introducing strong arm laws like this. Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: ineededausername on October 20, 2011, 05:42:46 PM Wow... they're really desperate now.
Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Dansker on October 20, 2011, 06:32:05 PM Any knows if this is again any federal laws, or the constitution has any say in this?
Is bitcoin included in this definition? Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Steve on October 20, 2011, 06:37:53 PM I'd like to know how they intend to enforce this...this law will end up turning the majority of Louisiana residents into criminals. I think once >50% of the population is considered an outlaw by the government, you've reached a point where it's not the people that are the outlaws, it's the state.

Code: A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property and made payable to the name and address of the seller. This is not legal, the surpeme court would squash this in a minute, it clear states on our money "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." which the article also states.. just simply crazy!!!! edit: by the way, "shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers," makes it legal to use bitcoin!!! 2nd edit: The title should be lOUISIANA LEGALIZES BITCOINS Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: plastic.elastic on October 20, 2011, 08:24:44 PM WOW, i couldn't believe it until I read the article, and the subsequent snippet of the law Code: A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property.

I mean if they ban cold hard cash from Fed, they can ban anything they want. They should ban citizenship certificate and issue their own citizenship. Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on October 20, 2011, 08:36:02 PM They picked the wrong state to test this in. Ever see a Coon-Ass riled? (or Coonass, or Coon-ass)
http://thetwistedepicurean.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/crazy-cajun.jpg The article states it's for the betterment of law enforcement. I'm surprised they weren't able to to inject how it'll be better for the children. I see it as a money grab: Able to collect more sales and income tax, coupled with less junk being sold, thereby more purchases of new shit from CHINA, then...wait for it...able to collect more sales and income tax. Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: jjiimm_64 on October 20, 2011, 09:06:55 PM I literally LOL when I seen this pic... good one. Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: mr chong on October 20, 2011, 09:17:09 PM Federal law trumps state law every time so they will have a hard time keeping this law on the books.
Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: netrin on October 21, 2011, 12:53:57 AM Is pi still defined π=3.0 in Louisiana?
Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Ricochet on October 21, 2011, 01:23:17 AM it clear states on our money "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." A debt is not the same thing as a payment. A merchant is within his rights to refuse your cash if he hasn't yet sold you the item.Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on October 21, 2011, 02:53:11 AM Is pi still defined π=3.0 in Louisiana? Screw them circles, anyway!

I read an article not long ago about the black/grey market in the US approaching $1 trillion last year which means there's a whole lot of people ignoring current laws. If bitcoin just gets a percentage of that it will be good.

Quote from: netrin Is pi still defined π=3.0 in Louisiana? That was an urban legend, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even Louisiana in the urban legend. I think Georgia or Tennessee or something.

Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: JeffK on October 21, 2011, 04:38:44 AM Also, I'm still confused how this law is "The Fed"'s doing. Yeah they are a dishonest organization run by the worst members of America's private sector, but they are some shadowy cabal that is directing Louisiana state law, as if your ability to pay your friend $20 for his old N64 will undermine their "power".
Anyways, this will get struck the fuck down by the Supreme Court, since cash is legal tender for all transactions in the US. Title: Re: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales Post by: Bitcoin Oz on October 21, 2011, 05:18:40 AM I bet you can buy moonshine with cash still.

My grandmother, Guinan, sent you a special invitation for opening night at The 1337 Room in her basement. Now that you've let the cat out of the bag, she has no choice but to move it to my aunt's barn. Your special invite is now null and void. It's only because you're an outstanding member on this board, I offer you another location to bide your time. It's a speckuneasy in Georgetown, Texas. To find it, simply fly over town and look for the letters K.I.V.A on the roof.

That was an urban legend, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even Louisiana in the urban legend. I think Georgia or Tennessee or something. The joke hits home because it could just as well be Louisiana. To the rest of the world, we believe this could be true because we see the anti-intellectual theocracy that the United States is becoming.

It's legal tender as a payment of debt only. it will be struck down. here is debt: you owe me 20 bucks for the lawnmower you just bought.
