Put it back as soon as he's gone?
My dude. America has yet to put a single fucking thing back after a Republican takes it.
Abortions rights. Voting rights. Workers rights. Right to Healthcare. Right to education. Right to transparent government funding (Citizens United) Right to privacy (Patriot Act) Right to fair information. Right to have our taxes go towards social benefits rather than Reaganomics.
If you're waiting for anything to change back, no matter how small, it's not.
You did not read the constitution of every country in the world to assert that.
No I didn't. I just actually used the technology, unlike you.
If the country has internet, they can use crypto. It's no different than using Facebook, Twitter, etc.
No country has the technology to prevent its use. They can barely check people's ages online.
I'm not against forming unions, I'm incredibly FOR removing the source of all of capitalisms power: centralized banks and fiat currency.
If you want to defeat capitalism - The fastest way is to starve them of the source of their power. The whole system works off fiat currency so governments and banks can just print more money when they need. Which, when they do, lowers the value of all the money and things everyone else owns, just so they can cut taxes for Billionaires.
You can spend a generation forming unions for a better piece of the capitalist pie. Just hoping eventually the infinite wealth of Bezos and Musk will run out.
Or we can just use crypto and literally remove the power they have over money itself. That collective action would literally make capitalism irrelevant.
If you want to talk about overthrowing regimes, you should not be so concerned about each countries crypto currency laws.
It's incredibly laughable to me, that you want to fight capitalism through the most painful methods possible. But using crypto is just too scary / you feel it's illegal everywhere?
It's sad that the constant disinfo campaign against it has literelly infected the people that could benefit most from it's use.
Because you can easily starve capitalism to death by removing the mechanisms that make it function: fiat currency and centralized banks. Crypto easily replaces both. And can be used for free right now.
The only reason people aren't is because they're too scared to use it like you.
As a business owner in any country, I can accept crypto as payment. Because modern crypto doesn't need a payment processor. You can do transactions directly from your wallet and avoid needing to involve the state, banks, or anyone but you and your customer. You can even build websites on the blockchain connected directly to your wallet. Or tokenize physical goods to sell there without needing anything but the internet.
It's up to you to report your sales on the blockchain for taxes. It's not at all, in anyway, monitored by any government as that's what the distributed ledger tech was designed to avoid.
If you want a new world. Waiting isn't going to make it happen. You can use crypto right the fuck now to take money away from the system it's trapped in. You just want to pretend it isn't accessible because of government control, when escaping that control is the very reason crypto was created to exist.
Trump is certainly a scammer. But he is also, unquestionably, an idiot. And that works in both directions. Against us. But also against his capitalist backers.
He is unquestionably deregulating laws on crypto everyday, to his own benefit - but that also just makes using crypto and hurting capitalism easier.
In material reality, the state is in no way stopping me from using crypto right this second. I can use it freely. And break no laws.
Why use their means of oppression if another tool exists, and can be used readily?
In fact, also in reality, Trump is accidentally bulldozing legislature meant to protect capitalism because he's too stupid to know better. Specifically:
Trump has ordered his administration to supercharge the U.S. cryptocurrency industry, rolling back some regulatory enforcement and championing legislation that would broaden its accessibility and appeal.

That's reality.
Financially, that's kinda fantastic post-pandemic, post-Tariffs, post fall of capitalism.
It's HILARIOUSLY IRONIC to use their earnings going down as a measurement of their success.
So let's not be sad about that.
Rather, take notice they comfortably employ about as many people as Intel can in 2025. (Which is more than Facebook) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/technology/intel-layoffs-25000.html
[Intel] said it now expected layoffs, attrition and other actions to reduce its head count to 75,000 by the end of 2025.
And that's despite Intel making $53.1billion in that same time. INTEL can't offer more jobs than a CO-OP that makes 1/5 of what they do?
That CO-OP must being doing something right. Namely, employing people instead of overpaying executives.
I didn't vote for any of this, you did.
Nope. I didn't. And most of America didn't either. We have a fucked up and outdated 2 party election system that was compromised by a conman, capitalism, and the most wealthy person on the planet to win an election by minority vote.
If you want to blame a large group (all Americans) for the actions a few of them take (MAGA cultists), by all mean become the MAGA bigot you already sound like.
I'd come if Americans were actually willing to do something...
We are. I even sent you links. Just because you don't want to look at what we're doing doesn't mean we aren't doing it.
More importantly why in the fuck would you not want to help otherwise? You're certainly acting like it's your problem too, so why no action on your part aside from complaining?
If this was WW2 would you likewise not want to help the Jews stop fascism? You know, because you FEEL like they aren't doing it hard enough?
JFC, I thought Democrats were cowards, but you easily take that torch.
But do fucking something!
Pull your head out of your ass where you're hiding it in fear, and maybe you'll be able to see what we're doing. We just had the 3rd largest protest in our history. I sent you that link. And we've got another planned for August.
If that's not enough, kindly go fuck yourself in the comfort of a country not controlled by Trump.
I have to live here. I see how we're fighting. I see how we're working together. You absolutley fucking don't.
If this last 6 months has been too much for your pants to soak up, know we've already been dealing with this shit for years. Yet our pants are much cleaner than yours.
Because we ARE actually doing shit to slow this down. Not just bitch about it on the internet from the safety of another country like you. Our media is completely corporate controlled, so you're only seeing half the picture. Most outside the US don't know how big our protests are getting because of it. But at least they're willing to look.
You want me to come and do your dirty work?
Fuck no. You clearly suck. You can't take Trumps dick for 6 months even though you are 1000's of miles away. Meanwhile we've been getting fucked by it for years.
I told you to come here because you said you weren't a coward. Clearly, you very much are.
Because you want to blame Americans for not beating Fascism fast enough. If you want it beaten faster come here and do it. Otherwise stop complaining.
All you need to know:
We won't hesitate to get violent. We just aren't the angry pansies turning over cars to retire early you're used to talking with. We're too busy plotting and assassinaing CEO's after they go too far.
Now 2 of them. And the second one was just by fucking LUCK.
This is unquestionably, just the start of more.
So sit the fuck down. And shut the fuck up. We're the ones doing the dirty work for you. You're the one complaining it's not fast enough. I'm sorry hearing about the Orange Man is hurting you more than me living through it. Calm down, and grow up.
Couldn't agree more! 🙂
That's like saying violent revolution will only be useful once we surpass Fascism.
The wide adaptation of crypto would likely deal a killing blow to capitalism as all the bullshit fees and exploitation expected from transactions completely disappear - along with their revenue streams to capitalist overlords at Visa / Mastercard / Amazon / Google / Taxes for the Fed, etc.
Like, you can already start defunding the bullshit happening right now by just paying for stuff with Crypto.
You are 100% correct. The sooner people adopt crypto, the sooner Visa and Mastercard are pointless. To be clear: MODERN CRYPTO DOES NOT REQUIRE PAYMENT PROCESSORS - YOU CAN MAKE PAYMENTS DIRECTLY FROM YOUR WALLET. (And not just for drugs).
Hey. Just FYI. That's all outdated now. Ethereum forked to use 99.9% less energy. (To a sustainable point). Several other coins have followed including Cardano. And transaction times on both are within minutes, sometimes seconds. (Whereas my bank takes days). Though admittedly sometimes it takes an hour or two for a transaction to complete if there's a lot of traffic.
I buy a lot of stuff (not drugs! Wow!) through crypto - and payment processors aren't even needed. You can literally get a chrome extension to access your crypto wallet to pay for things directly. Which is why crypto is such a threat to payment processors and fiat currency. Because crypto is the same as basically opening your wallet for cash, throwing that cash at the screen, and that works to buy whatever's on it. Visa and Mastercard can get fucked.
Bitcoins original white paper was very specific: the point of crypto is to take the power away from the assholes like Visa and Mastercard. But also from Banks and the Fed. No one person or entity should control these things. So Bitcoin decentralized them.
And now, 15 years later, it works pretty fucking well. That's why the price has increased 1000%+ in that time.
(EDIT: To be clear, saying someone doesn't accept Bitcoin is like saying someone doesn't accept gold. You're using the wrong digital currency. There's plenty of others that don't need payment processors for transactions.)
Ah. It's not disinformation. I wasn't going off figures of public school buses that in no way could be rented. I was going off the amount of busses in service for private operation.
There are approximately 66,180 revenue vehicles available for maximum service in the public transit sector of the United States.
From the transit authority database: https://www.transit.dot.gov/ntd
Which based on your math is enough to carry 800k to 2.4 million at once if used to maximum capacity (and depending on bus size).
What if the Lemons falling on us in this situation are all the billionaires doing exactly what you're saying - but exclusively with their made up bullshit lemons? Like illegal aliens, the "radical" left, and corporate taxes.
Because I'd love to turn that into lemonade, but the market is now so saturated in their fake outrage lemon bullshit to the point we no longer even agree on what lemonade is supposed to taste like.
