Very interesting. The Roger Ver guy doesn't sound like a random target.
Make no mistake. This indictment has nothing to do with tax evasion. It’s a witch hunt against a man who turned his back on US wars and malicious foreign and domestic policy. Roger is a supporter of Julian Assange and press freedom not just with words but with actions. He’s a popular speaker at crypto events around the world where he educates people about the injustices caused by the US Govt.
Roger spoke out against mass surveillance, endless wars and the murder of innocent people for profit. He funded many good causes against US imperialism and that’s why they target him. At every opportunity Roger spoke about why he left his US citizenship behind and a wave of successful Americans followed his example. The US Govt has lost hundreds of billions because Roger was leading the way for many successful entrepreneurs who followed his example.
This is a malicious attempt to vilify Roger and to punish him for exposing and opposing the crimes of US empire.
Just want to point out that Proof of Work is not the same as "created out of thin air". All bitcoins were produced from consuming energy. There is an actual cost (in electricity) to mine and produce new BTC.
Some other cryptos did away with Proof of Work because they said it's wasteful. Okay. But the alternative is trusting a central authority to manage the ledger honestly, or trusting an elite class who already owns most of the supply to be benevolent, and we know how that goes.

Bitcoin BAD, Federal Reserve fake money GOOD, both created out of thin air, WTF
"both created out of thin air"
it's unfortunate that people don't understand what money is or can be. real money is not 'declared' (US Constitution), it is 'agreed upon'.

Declaration by armed authority is a good way to get a lot of people to agree upon something.
That only works for so long.
