Greetings Steemit!
I'll try to summarize my 27 years of life quick for you.
Born into a Muslim family, my earliest memories are of Amman, Jordan. Specifically a room, a garden, a falafel stand and a little brother. Fast forward and we're growing up in Wisconsin after my parents divorced.
It's 10:30 am, I'm in 6th grade, and my homeroom class is singing happy birthday to me. I don't recall the exact verse I was enjoying when the class got cut off by two students bursting in;
"TURN ON THE TV, THE WORLD TRADE CENTER JUST GOT HIT BY A PLANE"
The teacher obeys the students
We watch the second plane hit
And I believe its was this precise moment, that lead to the manifestation of "Jonas Wakefield" crazy conspiracy theorist who believes in fractional reserve lending.
In late 2012 I was working ~50 hours/ week at a pseudo-fancy Italian restaurant and,
my drivers license had just been put into revoked status for
refusing a blood test request by a police officer.
I stumbled upon bitcoin and blockchain after discovering fractional reserve lending and the fraudulent fiat money supply. My girlfriend at the time, reluctantly accepted my disillusionment but insisted I was crazy if I was going to spend $2000 on bitcoins (they were $8) when I could spend that on "us". So, in the name of sex, I forgot about Bitcoins. Needless to say, we aren't together anymore.
I rediscovered crypto when Bitcoin peaked in price being worth more than an ounce of gold. Luckily a week after I received my Mt. Gox YubiKey, and before I had any money in there Mt. Gox collapsed.
Here's my uniformed Mt. Gox collapse hypothesis - It was the YubiKey
Since then, I have invested in various crytpo. I ended up getting my drivers license reinstated last year so I could get into the car industry, with only 14 Operating after Revocation (First Offense) tickets in 5 years. Those 14 tickets however got me involved in law from a theoretical standpoint. I'm no lawyer, but thanks to people like @AdamKokesh I became familiar with the non-aggression principal, libertarian philosophy and the desire to promulgate a better world.
I'm not a blind conformist to the status quo. Yet, there are some Statist Quotes we should ponder:
I'd like to share with you one of many legal arguments I have.
This is my first time in trial, I make a few mistakes (not filing my documents ahead of time is a major one) but i'm hoping there will be some interest that can lead to good discussions.
There is a link in the youtube description to the paperwork I was reading off of.
Please share your questions comments and concerns!!!!
Thanks
