Important Warning for Everyone with Bitcoin or any Cryptos
The Bitcoin trial of Morpheus Titania (Thomas Costanzo) reminds us of the extreme measures governments will take to keep their rackets going, especially the one that keeps them paid. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly challenge the reign of the banking cartels that have gripped this world for centuries. The feds are scrambling to invoke fear in the people to deter them from using this freedom-based technology. The evidence is no more clear than in this case, where a good man is being used as a weapon against inevitable change. I made a thirty minute video about this (link below) but I wanted to write up a quick summary of the relevant lessons for the tl;dr crowd.
One of the main lessons we must learn from this, is that you always must be on guard when selling cryptocurrencies for undercover agents and informants. Multiple agents from multiple agencies were used to set up Morpheus. He was "caught" on audio recording acknowledging that he knew money involved in the trade may have come from "illegal" activity. If anyone ever mentions "illegal" activity when buying from you, back out of the deal right away! If you feel confident and safe enough, pull out your camera or camera-phone and record them, asking them why they are trying to link you to illegal activity and if they are agents. You aren’t even safe when going to local Bitcoin or other coin meetups, as is apparent from this case, where multiple agencies sent undercover agents to bitcoin meetups in Phoenix. Maybe at your next meetup, you can play, "Spot the Fed!" If you have any other "illegal" activity in your life, keep it as separated as possible from your crypto business.
You might think that if you are set up for something like this, that a fair trial or jury nullification will save you. Again, the case of Morpheus (and so many other miscarriages of justice from the American legal - not justice - system) shows that this is not true. One of the jurors was disqualified because he said that if someone testified to something that was untrue of Bitcoin, he could not "forget" the truth that he had previously learned. They can disqualify any juror who admits that they know ANYTHING about Bitcoin. If you face a jury trial, you might face a jury that knows only what the government will tell them about Bitcoin in that courtroom. Of course the lesson here for those who have the chance to be jurors is take jury duty and play dumb! Do what it takes to get on a jury so that you can vote not guilty. (According to the established legal precedent, jury nullification on the grounds that the law is immoral is already withing your rights as a juror.) Yes, lying is wrong, but not when someone has a gun to your head, and lying to keep an innocent person from going to jail is not only ethical, it's a great thing to do in the service of justice.
We must remember that with groundbreaking technology like the blockchain that can do so much good for the world, those in power will do their best to suppress and then control it and we cannot let them! Be smart when making transactions, but do not let this case discourage you. Use this case to get the word out about how corrupt the government is and how great this technology is and how it is making government obsolete!

of course we want transparency and to get rid of corruption and third party crooks, that's all we want to make the world a better place, that's the whole purpose of decentralization. :)
Best way to spot an undercover is his or hers shoes!! If they seem off and outtaplace then yep its a fed. Example would be scuffed up new balances.
Hmmmm! Good point! Never heard of scuffed up New Balances, but I've heard of similar tips. I think they've got the footwear thing figured out by now though. We're going to have to be craftier than this!
Yeah i always took it as there just ready to run to chase sombody if needed. Probably won’t be no need to chase sombody at the meeting, but hey you never know, a lot of those guys are very book smart, but street smart? Highly unlikely since they only hire squares who never did anything “wrong” in their life’s!
Remember all those antifa thugs?
Ever see their footwear in any of the videos?
I can’t say i recall? Kinda ingnored a lot of that stuff. What kinda shoes are we talking about?

Can you hear Larken Rose bitchin' and whinin' yet? Oh, my. We have to register to vote to be selected for Jury Duty!

Everything this government has been doing has been unconstitutional since the Civil War. Free men don't have no government issued form of identification. Free men don't need permission to put a gun in their pocket. If you vote and pay taxes YOU are the criminal.
All good except that last part. Voting is an expression of preference and being a taxpayer is being a victim. Don't blame the victims! Yes, I know we can all rearrange our lives to pay less in taxes, but without withdrawing from the economy, you can't help but at least contribute to them.
"the economy"... as if there is only one????
Agora3's should be in the national development stage paralleling your campaign. Broze is out there like a wingNut trying to do something all by himself. Why? Why can't libertarians ever come to understand what SYNERGY means?
A good book that actually addresses the issue of voting is a book called "The Red Amendment." It's a legal treatise put forth purporting that the the 16th amendment is illegal and why. Chapter 11 was kind of tough to chew through. The author could have done a better job at separating ideologies through the book to keep it clear -- but it's interesting research nonetheless.
Have you read the book called "The Red Amendment"? You might enjoy it. It discusses the very claims you make and supports your sentiments.
No I haven't read the book but chances are I already know what it is referring too.
They dont want us to be free especially, financially.

It amazes me how hard they keep trying to clamp down.
It just proves to me what their real intentions and agendas are. Period.
Why wouldn't they want to uphold the original intent to be free if that wasn't their motive? By clamping down, they just keep proving that their intention is control so they keep making money.
People will rise up and do what is necessary to keep their freedoms, whether the powers at be like it or not.
Public service reminder: There are more of us than there are of them.
Just food for thought.
