When everything is a "crime", everybody is a "criminal".

Businesses can deal with regulation*, by shutting down. Nothing more certain than that.
*infringement of victimless economic liberties

What about an android app/wallet that will give you a subtotal.
Same answer, it's an app: Or sign up to My Wallet and add your addresses (You don't need to add private keys). |

Should Andreas join the row of sitting ducks for persecution by totalitarians? Yeah, sure!

They work fine at enabling persecution of victimless actions that wouldn't be crimes under a system of government that actually respected human rights instead of being totalitarian.

The greatest thing the criminal innovators in bitcoin could do at this point, is to step away and let a new generation take over.
So they can be arrested for victimless "crimes" too? This is a sick version of Whack-A-Mole; it doesn't matter which of us are popping up at any time or in any sequence, we're all moles, and the whacker is a Terminator. Murder for hire is not a 'victimless' crime. More guilt by association? This topic is about Charlie Shrem, who isn't alleged to have committed/conspired to murder for hire. Even if you're referring to all the people using the "Dread Pirate Roberts" pseudonym (including government agents, who physically controlled the SR servers for a considerable length of time)... There was nothing innovative about Silk Road - online forums for victimless and victimful crimes for $ have existed for decades. One of which I would argue is craigslist (founded 1995, so 20th anniv next year), unless you want to pretend that every single criminal poster on there who's never stopped is just an undercover cop. |

Tell me when you can come up with a level of "need" that everyone concurs with, without you shoving a fucking gun in all our faces.
Human rights are not limited to bare survival.

We can inform Juries of their right & duty to Nullify laws. That's what we can do. Please read http://fija.org/ You probably already agree with it anyway, because you think logically. We just need to spread the idea, and i know bitcoiners are great at that  May need to send out a remote-controlled robot in our place around courthouses... 1 person arrested is 1 too many. |

Future Bitcoin services need to be run as if they are illegal enterprises, like Silk Road, even if what they are doing is apparently legal. Why: - Laws change.
- Regulations are vague and open-ended, and it's probably impossible to operate a business without accidentally violating one.
- Even if you do manage to operate without violating any rule law enforcement agencies do not always limit themselves to the letter of the law when deciding to begin an enforcement action.
- Governments are not the only threats to a successful business. Non-governmental organized crime is almost equally capable of extortion.
The solution is to run all services in the darknet, not tied to any physical location or legal jurisdiction, and without any explicit connection to a real-life identity. In order to reduce the risk of the operator running away with all the coins customers should start using Bitcoin like it was intended and only get involved with zero-trust business models instead of giving their money to companies that blindly emulate old paradigms. |

>0%, while <0 fucks are given about the legal distinction, because all the BTC is going to be auctioned off in a completely above-board, non-crony fashion according to BurtW.
Hey, that's the US government for you. Is it fair? No. Is it what they do? Yes. I don't think water-boarding people at secret locations was fair either but as they say in the States, "what are you gonna do"? Continue to lose the cold civil war by default, until .gov decides it's democide time and takes it hot. |

And all the people on SR who had nothing to do with trading drugs or any other "illegal" thing will be persecuted as "guilty by association", because GBA's not indefensible bullshit, at all!

Easier to say what's not possible. So, for me and probably OP, no furniture (that isn't flat-pack), vehicles, houses...

Do you need to read every single law in the US to know that most of them violate human rights?

I sometimes get annoyed when the same kind of people who would vociferously object to "judicial activism" and "judge-made law" nonetheless object to prosecutors doing their job and prosecuting violations of laws they had nothing whatsoever to do with passing into law. Who does that? The people we elect to Congress.
I object to any government official violating their oath of office, where they swore to uphold the Constitution and the inherent human rights thereof. Judges, prosecutors, lawmakers, they all swear it, and it's rare to see them actually honor their oath over their entire career until retirement and not be expelled by totalitarians. A court upholding inherent human rights is not "judicial activism" or enacting "judge-made law", it is fulfilling its oath. Drug laws categorically violate human rights, as well as calling any exercise of economic liberty whatsoever "money laundering". If you're going to be in government, be this guy:  |
