You are free to do WHATEVER YOU WANT with your money and the s | r/Bitcoin

You are free to do WHATEVER YOU WANT with your money and the state has NO BUSINESS interfering with this fundamental right

This is one of Bitcoin's main value proposition.

Your money is your money and you can do whatever you want with it. Same goes with any other of your private property, for example your TV or your coffee table. If you want to exchange your bottle of water for an apple with someone else, who is anyone to say that you can't?

You might be wondering...

What if you want to do something illegal with your money? For example: hiring a hitman to kill an innocent person?

Then this is how it should be:

You hire a hitman. Someone finds out. You get punished (you go to jail or you get killed in revenge by a victim's family member).

This is how it should NOT be:

You ask the state permission to spend your money. You demonstrate to the state with paperwork that you're not going to use this money for illegal purposes. Then you go ahead and hire the hitman anyway using cash or any other method.

See the difference?

Let me give you another example:

Imagine the state wants to reduce rape cases. In order to do that, they pass a bill stating that going forward every time two persons want to engage in a sexual relationship they need to fill out a government form stating that they both consent to this act. If you have sex without filling out this form, you're commiting a crime.

Do you see how ridiculous this is?

This is exactly what they do with your money whenever you want to send a wire transfer of $20k to someone else. You need to "ask permission" first.

Please stop simping for the governmet to make bitcoin legal tender. The entire point of bitcoin is that we don't need government's permission to use our money.
