Topics
Andrew认为罗杰·维尔是加密货币领域的先驱,对未来的发展至关重要,但他因其背景存在争议,并面临不公平的政府打压。他呼吁对罗杰·维尔进行赦免,结束对其的法律诉讼。 Tracy Thurman代表Roger Ver发言,她指出Roger Ver面临109年监禁的指控,罪名是试图正确缴纳税款。她详细解释了Roger Ver多年来一直是美国政府的目标,这源于他批评IRS和ATF,以及他销售烟花而被指控。她强调,Roger Ver尽力遵守了离境税的规定,但政府仍在对他进行打压。她认为,政府对Roger Ver的打压,是因为他批评政府政策,并支持去中心化金融,这被视为对“深层政府”的威胁。她还指出,去中心化的点对点交易是对传统银行体系的最大威胁,支持和推动去中心化金融的人会成为政府的目标。她认为,加密货币的普及部分归功于政府对创新者的打压,这促使更多人接受加密货币。她还提到政府对特朗普及其家人的打压,以及对其他加密货币支持者的打压,显示出政府对异见的容忍度降低。她认为,新政府应该赦免Roger Ver和Ross Ulbricht,或者撤销对他们的指控。 Roger Ver本人由于法律风险无法发言。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why is Roger Ver, known as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' being targeted by the Biden Administration?

Roger Ver is being targeted because he has been a vocal critic of the U.S. government's programs, funding movements like anti-war, anti-lockdown, medical freedom, and anti-censorship. His advocacy for decentralized finance and cryptocurrencies poses a threat to the traditional banking system and the deep state.

What is the accusation against Roger Ver, and why does it seem politically motivated?

Roger Ver is accused of tax evasion, specifically not paying enough in exit taxes in 2014 and 2017. The accusations seem politically motivated due to his history of criticizing government agencies like the IRS and ATF, and his pioneering role in the cryptocurrency space, which is seen as a threat by the traditional banking system.

How has the cryptocurrency space evolved since Roger Ver's early investments, and what role does he play in it?

The cryptocurrency space has grown significantly, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies becoming widely accepted. Roger Ver was one of the earliest investors in Bitcoin and has been a major promoter of decentralized finance, making him a key figure in the industry's development.

What is the significance of the birthright citizenship issue in the context of recent immigration policies?

Birthright citizenship allows children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents to be considered citizens, which has led to issues like birth tourism and anchor babies. This policy is increasingly controversial as it impacts immigration and welfare systems, and the Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled on its legality for illegal immigrants.

What are the biggest challenges in American education according to Ryan Girdusky?

The biggest challenges include radicalization in teacher training programs, the need for a classical-based curriculum, and the unregulated use of education technology apps that often contain woke language and sell children's data.

Shownotes Transcript

Roger Ver is "Bitcoin Jesus"; he's been investing in the world's first cryptocurrency since its cost was measured in pennies. Today, he's a billionaire being targeted by the Biden Administration, which wants him imprisoned for the rest of his life. Roger has been silenced by lawfare, so he joins Charlie with his lawyer to speak on his behalf. Plus, Ryan Girdusky talks about the birthright citizenship sham, and the odds that Trump's Cabinet picks will get through the Congress.
