@BitcoinMagazine If you can find the keys then it’s yours. This isn’t like diving onto a boat and just plucking the gold. Satoshi’s coins will be the “sword in the stone” of our time. If you can move the coins then they were yours. Otherwise, piss off and enjoy the reduced effective supply.
WATCH: The 3.8M Bitcoin Lawsuit Could Set a Dangerous Precedent | Bitcoin Policy Hour Ep 39
An anonymous plaintiff is asking a New York court to declare 3.8M "lost" Bitcoin — including coins tied to Satoshi — as abandoned property. On the latest Bitcoin Policy Hour, we break down why the legal theory is weak but the precedent could be dangerous. 🧵👇

@laralogan Lara - I still don’t know how you have the resilience that you do, but thank you for fighting still. Hope this brings justice for these girls and you. Thank you again.
@JohnnyUtah_____@FLDadReborn Property rights still apply, whether it’s a homestead or a not. Property taxes are wrong no matter what. Tax on purchase. Ok. Cap gains tax? Dont like but possible. But an endless tax on some imaginary value of the property and being able to seize property is wrong.
@pilot_DeX@FLDadReborn The property tax relief is for homesteaded residences, not rental properties. So the landlord’s tax bill on a rental doesn’t disappear, and renters still get hit if the lost revenue is shifted into sales taxes, fees, or service cuts.
It’s wild how many people are upset that Governor DeSantis is lowering taxes. Yes, cities will attempt to raise them again but let them make that case to the voters and show where and why it’s necessary. But the longer they’re allowed to absorb the extra revenue from increased property values, the harder it will be to pullback.
Now was the time for action and I appreciate @RonDeSantis leading the way once again. 🇺🇸🐊
Susan Collins's latest financial report just came out.
A staggering one-third of her money raised this quarter came directly from AIPAC.
Senator Collins is bought and paid for by Benjamin Netanyahu, and she votes accordingly.
@cenkuygur You are free but it doesn’t mean other organizations or countries have to give you their platform
Before giving lectures on free speech, know what it actually means in legal terms
Also, something tells me you were okay when Facebook and twitter banned Trump back in 2021
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
@BobBeRight@FLDadReborn Sounds like a person who doesn’t have rentals. When a local jurisdiction increases the prop taxes those expenses are 100% passed on to the tenants. And all the neighboring rentals also had their taxes go up. Yeah markets. But the gov is forcing all prices up. Be smarter.
@pilot_DeX@FLDadReborn Not really. That's not how markets or pricing works. Property taxes at best have an indirect effect on rental prices, but rental prices are determined by the market, not individual landlord costs.
Saylor / Strategy selling a few raspberries isn’t causing bitcoin to crash. The reality is that there is a massive parabolic spike in AI-related equities that is vacuuming up all excess liquidity, multiples of bitcoin’s market cap. On top of that, labor market is healthy and energy prices are up, so sentiment for dovish rate cuts is nowhere to be found. Bitcoin’s fundamentals have never been better even if the macro environment isn’t doing it any favors.
@business Cyber bot farms and coordinated disinformation campaigns targeting major European capitals are a very real threat. But politicians also love using foreign interference as a convenient shield against completely valid domestic criticism.

This’s how the Oligarchs chose to spend their trillions of dollars instead of spending on Schools, Hospitals, healthcare systems.
@chiky_handlr Sorry Trump cut the NGO’s to your country but part of being a citizen of the United States is the freedom to pursue these endeavors if it is what you desire to do with your money.
Here in Michigan,
we protected every Michigander’s right to control their body
we protected every Michigander’s right to wear their natural hair
we protected every Michigander’s right to be who they are and love who they love
and we’re going to keep fighting to keep it that way.
