Seeking separation of money and State

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Seeking separation of money and State

Post by eriksank »

Giving control over money to the State in order to combat crime -- "Anti-money laundering" -- just turns the State itself into the largest criminal organization around.

There simply does not exist a problem that the government won't make worse.

What do you think of the chances that there will be a massive push against the crypto currencies by goverment legislations?
The US and a couple of other countries have made moves in this direction already under the guise that most crypto currencies are held by criminals.

I am a hawk. I do not peacefully "Occupy Wall Street". My opinion is that such is absolutely not how you do a French Revolution. I want to burn Wall Street. So, indeed, I want these governments to bla bla "legislate", invent all kinds of man-made law, and hence engage us in battle. I really want them to bomb Pearl Harbor, because that will allow us -- the hawks -- to overrule the doves, and finally solve the problem.
