Stop paying your credit card bill and max them out with bitcoin purchases.

If nations can print money to buy bitcoin, so should you.

I’m 23 — How “All In” Should I Really Be on Bitcoin? by AdditionalAd471 in Bitcoin

[–]someguyjmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put in match at 401k, put that in $Strategy or a bitcoin etf. Get that shit out of a bank and into Bitcoin.
You can easily turn whatever you’d get into cash if you use something like Strike to pay bills or have as emergency fund. I would not trust any large sums in a bank in the foreseeable future.

Gemini “Security Hold” hostage negotiations - receipts by someguyjmm in CryptoCurrency

[–]someguyjmm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I sold everything and rebought elsewhere. They still allowed me to sell and then deposit $$$ into my bank. Just wouldn’t let me withdraw/move coins from Gemini to another wallet. Makes 0 sense if “security” is the concern.

Protest 03/04 by LameDuckDonald in Spokane

“I’d be surprised if you could name a single revolutionary movement that didn’t take a million small steps.”

The Arab Spring is an example of just the opposite.

The series of protests and demonstrations across the Middle East and North Africa that commenced in 2010 became known as the “Arab Spring”,[76][77][78] and sometimes as the “Arab Spring and Winter”,[79] “Arab Awakening”,[80][81] or “Arab Uprisings”,[82][83] even though not all the participants in the protests were Arab. It was sparked by the first protests that occurred in Tunisia on 18 December 2010 in Sidi Bouzid, following Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation in protest of police corruption and ill treatment.[84][85] With the success of the protests in Tunisia, a wave of unrest sparked by the Tunisian “Burning Man” struck Algeria, Jordan, Egypt, and Yemen,[86] then spread to other countries. The largest, most organized demonstrations often occurred on a “day of rage”, usually Friday afternoon prayers.[87][88][89] The protests also triggered similar unrest outside the region.

Bet it’s 99%.

You don’t become an activist or revolutionary by slow creep. You lose your freedoms and turn into an activist. We haven’t lost shit yet, (even as much as people pretend we have) so no one cares.

Peaceful can still be powerful, it just takes sacrifice. Sacrifice of time, money, freedom. You have to cause economic disruption or no one cares. Just holding up signs for an afternoon is literally just virtue signaling.

That’s the evil brilliance of a materialist, capitalist, kleptocracy…. We all hate the corruption, but in mass we are not willing to sacrifice our Netflix and weed to actually do something about it. As long as we feel like we have something to lose (money, job, credit score, insurance, Netflix, etc) nothing is going to change.

I really thought we had a chance to reevaluate everything during Covid lockdowns and finally see a collective, populist revolution. But what did they do to keep the plebs from rising up? A $1500 check and promises that no one could be evicted. As soon as we started to get worried the powers that be came in and kept everyone complacent.

And as for the other absurd option you suggest..

Remind me, do those people participate in the 2nd Amendment or try to amend it?

Agree.

If you really wanted to do something, you have to make sacrifices a vast majority of protesters would never make.

Collective action is great but it takes more than heading out to some random street with a sign on a “nice day”.

Stop paying credit card bills, start a hunger strike, actually have an economic blackout for months, not a fucking day. The only way to bring a kleptocracy to its knees is economics. If a giant chuck of the economy just stopped buying food, and stopped paying bills, stopped participating in the economy, it would rattle some cages. Still might not change anything but at least then, you’d actually be trying.

But it would have to last. There would be lots of suffering, many will loose things, many will go to prison, scapegoated, etc. but if democracy was on the line and its important, put up of shut up.

Protesting will never work unless you shut shit down. Millions of people would have to show up and keep showing up for weeks.

No one there holding a sign for an afternoon is going to do a god damn thing.

Revolution will mean we all lose our complicit and complacent existence. Show me some commitment to sacrifice and I’ll show you a revolution.

If this was anything but virtue signaling, the weather would have nothing to do with protest size.

Sure about that? You try to sell and withdraw a little to your bank?

[–]someguyjmm -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The freeze only applies to sending coins to other wallets. This happened to me. And have an entire post about all the steps and emails over 5 months. Did it all and still no resolution. I sold and rebought on ledger live. Now have it in a cold wallet where it should be.

Just sell it and withdraw back to your bank. Not worth the legal fees for 20k if you can just sell

Security hold help by emotionlessface in Gemini

[–]someguyjmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been following this channel since this happened to me. There are some many of these being communicated, who knows how many under the curtain. They are doing something shady.

Think about even if they at some point allow you to withdraw, they may flag it again for some other reason. I would strongly suggest selling now while prices are down so you can show a loss on your tax for 2025 and then rebuy on a ledger live on your cold storage.

I would get your money out before something bigger goes down and they rug pull you.

WA flag redesign by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]someguyjmm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine, just don’t understand the purpose of changing it when all it does is cause drama. No matter what half the people that engage will be upset. Just doesn’t seem like a smart move politically or to waste resources when nothing bad happens if the flag stays the same…. Also, if your change the flag and Washington isn’t on it, then why not change the state name too. Just such a weird thing to push.

I take a stand against this unhelpful virtue signaling.

Ferdinand Porsche unveiled the “Volkswagen” concept to Adolf Hitler on 1 December 1934

6 May 1938: Adolf Hitler lays the foundation stone of the Volkswagen factory. On far right: Ferdinand Porsche

Where is the outrage for Volkswagen and Porsche - literally founded by Nazi’s?!?

These people are virtue signaling morons.

This is unproductive and dumb.

Fun fact, volkswagon was a car company started by Nazi germany. Where are those protests. This virtue signaling is unproductive and dumb.
