When we started The Dollar Vigilante in 2010, it was a very different world.
The word “libertarianism” was just becoming known for the first time due to the efforts of a guy named Ron Paul and his rEVOLution. Anarcho-capitalism was still essentially unknown by most. We believed that taxation was theft but trying to find more than a few dozen other people who felt the same was not happening. Many people still hadn’t woken up to 9/11 being an inside job.
And, not even we knew about bitcoin back then… only hearing about it in 2011 when it was at $3 and immediately jumping on the bandwagon as perhaps its loudest promoter.
So, what a nice surprise it is to see how quickly things are changing.
The hashtag #TaxationIsTheft caught fire in the last year.
And then this man made sure “Taxation Is Theft” was front and center… or behind home plate, at a Major League Baseball game.
Back in 2014, this man grabbed the microphone during the Super Bowl post-game press conference and said that 9/11 was an inside job.
And now, the latest hero was today, during Janet Yellen’s testimony in front of CONgress.
It was just a small gesture. A sign saying “Buy Bitcoin” on mainstream television right behind Ol’ Yellen, for just a second before the cameraman quickly pulled away.
And, the cool thing about bitcoin is, that if you can get your QR code on the sign, you can receive immediate payment from people across the world. And, this man has already started to receive bitcoin donations which will likely prompt more people to do the same in the future!
So, while the communist style, central planning Federal Reserve was answering questions by the fascist CONgress (that’s why there are 2 fasces in Congress), the free market was at work right behind Comrade Yellen, pointing out the free market, anarcho-capitalist money bitcoin can be transferred without anyone’s permission, without anyone managing it and without CONgress able to question it.
In that sense, this man holding up the “Buy Bitcoin” sign today made it ever so poignant that CONgress and the Federal Reserve are ridiculous antiquities from a heinous, tyrannical time.
He was even doing it just as Yellen was trying to fight against the Federal Reserve being audited. You know who audits bitcoin? The blockchain. No Soviet-style central planning agency need be involved in money.
The Federal Reserve and Congress are obsolete.
Our grandchildren will one day ask us why we traded pieces of paper with dead criminals printed on them printed up by a communist style planning agency at will and overseen by a violent group of people who get paid with extorted money in a system that funded more than a century of total war.
“Why did you do that?” they’ll ask.
And, we’ll reply, “Bitcoin hadn’t been invented yet, darling.”
But but..

Hey @dollarvigilante
I have around 10k$ worth of cash ready to purchase coins now that everything is going down. But I keep seeing ETH around 180-190 and other coins are low too.
My question is, do you think now is the bottom, or that we will see much lower prices as we approach the 1st of Aug?
Coz i keep thinking all the time that maybe now is the lowest you know :)
Thank you!

"...pieces of paper with dead criminals printed on them..."
Hmmm, but didn't Andrew Jackson ($20) fought against the Central Bank of his time? Even Thomas Jefferson ($2) said, "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...." On top of that, Benjamin Franklin ($100) stated that we are a Republic, IF, we can keep it, and that democracy is nothing more but MOB rule.
Granted, their faces are on fiat paper 'money,' however, I wouldn't call them, "criminals..."
Just my two cents.
