Critics raise the following anti-BSV claim quite often: “BSV wants to do 1 million transactions per second. BSV is incapable of following basic money transaction regulations.” False. This sounds scary because it compresses several different legal concepts into one vague accusation. When you unpack it, the issue is much simpler. Sanctions are real. OFAC says virtual-currency transactions are subject to sanctions rules, and U.S. persons generally cannot deal with blocked persons or blocked property. AML/KYC program obligations are also real. But they are not the same thing as saying every base-layer transaction must include bank-style KYC. FinCEN’s virtual-currency guidance is actor-based. A user who obtains virtual currency to buy goods or services for their own use is not an MSB. Exchangers, administrators, custodians, payment processors, kiosks, hosted wallet operators, and people accepting/transmitting value as a business may be money transmitters and may have BSA/AML obligations. That is the distinction people keep missing. The law does not ask: “Can this ledger do a lot of transactions?” It asks: “Who is the actor? What service are they providing? Do they have custody, control, customers, exchange activity, payment processing, or money transmission?” If yes, build the compliance program at that layer: sanctions screening, customer identification where required, recordkeeping, reporting, blocking/rejection procedures, monitoring, and audit controls. If no, stop pretending the base protocol itself is a bank. Scale makes compliance design more important. It does not magically convert every packet, wallet, or ledger entry into a regulated financial institution. So when people repeat this claim, do not answer with tribal confidence. Ask them to identify the specific regulated actor and the specific obligation. Then point to the sources. If they cannot make that mapping, they are not doing compliance analysis. They are using regulation as a scarecrow. My sources: OFAC, Sanctions Compliance Guidance for the Virtual Currency Industry ofac.treasury.gov/media/913571/d… FinCEN, 2013 Guidance on Virtual Currency Users, Administrators, and Exchangers fincen.gov/system/files/s… FinCEN, 2019 Guidance on Convertible Virtual Currency Business Models fincen.gov/system/files/2…

Do people in the real world understand what is happening in our country right now or is it just those of us on X? I only ask because my neighbor told me she isn't interested in "politics." How do I explain that this is so far beyond "politics?" The apathy is astounding.

Let's celebrate the resignation of Keir Starmer with this wonderful song. Bye-bye, Keir! We will remember you as the biggest wanker of all UK leaders. Donald Trump and his band are performing this song for your pleasure. The Spotify version is coming soon.

After 40 years of following world events and reading / discussing history: This was true long before him and remains true today.

The problem with the welfare state and its confiscatory taxation system is that there are ZERO repercussions if politicians steal your money "legally" and squander it accordingly. Any system that decouples the natural link between causes and effects will lead to disaster. This is why what starts off as a small temporary levying of taxes more than 100 years ago becomes the tax code that we see today. Politicians do not view an individual's hard-earned money as theirs to keep. Rather they view your money as something that they allow you to keep a small portion of. Accordingly, you should be "thankful" that the government allows you to keep any of your money. This "proves" that they are kind and empathetic. It is a complete moral inversion of personal agency, liberty, and freedom. No system should take so much taxes from you that it forces you to work 10 extra years to make up for what was taken from you.

Every time I post Casey findings, someone replies: foreign agitator. Fine. Open the PDF on GOV.UK. Search "ethnicity." Search "consenting." Search "no further action." Quote the page number back to me. I am not inventing Britain's shame. Your government published it. I am a Japanese account amplifying your own audit because British citizens tell me they cannot. That is not interference. That is reading aloud in a room where too many people were told to whisper. When did reading your own government's report become controversial?

The Great Scam After what @GadSaad posted yesterday, something I had no idea existed... an "Exit Tax" I did some digging. This is what I found. Canada's departure tax is one of the biggest scam taxes on the books. Apparently when you leave the country, the government treats you as if you sold every investment you own, even if you sold nothing. You get hit with a tax bill on money you never touched, never withdrew, never spent. They literally invented a fake sale to justify taking your money. Here's what makes it even worse. The stocks they're taxing? Those are foreign companies. Apple, Samsung, whatever you hold, those grew because of what those businesses did in their own countries, their own markets, with their own workers. Canada had absolutely nothing to do with it. Zero. But they still want a cut just because you happened to live here while you owned them. They did nothing and still want to be paid like they did. And before 1996 this didn't even exist the way it does now. Chrétien's government expanded it that year and buried it in section 128.1(4)(b) of the Income Tax Act like they hoped nobody would notice. Italy doesn't do this. Portugal doesn't. Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, none of them pull this shit. You paid income tax every year. You paid sales tax. Property tax. You held up your end of the deal the whole damn time. And when you decide to go live somewhere else, they hit you with a bill for money that was never real to begin with. Canada under any Liberal is a Scam!

A Canadian messaged me last week. He said: I agree with everything you post. I cannot say any of it at work. I asked: what would happen if you did? He said: reported to HR. Investigated. Probably let go. He lives in Canada. Not China. Not Russia. Canada. So yes. A Japanese account in Tokyo will keep posting. Until he can say it himself again.

Just a note

The DOJ has charged 15 people with food stamp fraud in a $1.4 million scheme in Massachusetts. 11 of the 15 are illegal aliens living under stolen identities.

Have you noticed the left always accuses conservatives of being the very things they are? We get called fascists while we’re the ones fighting for limited government, free markets, and individual freedom. That’s why teaching kids wisdom and discernment matters so much, because if they can’t spot the lie, they’ll end up believing it.

It was by design. They wanted the border wide open. They wanted the chaos funneled straight into sanctuary cities. They wanted the demographic change. Because the census counts every person, citizen or not, when handing out congressional seats and Electoral College votes. Flood the country with illegals, shift the electorate, lock in more power for their districts. Replacement is treason. Never forgive, never forget. Context: When Texas built a razor wire barrier in Eagle Pass to stop the invasion, the Biden-Harris administration sent forklifts. Border Patrol agents used heavy machinery to rip up Texas’s defenses and hold the wire aloft so hundreds of illegals could cross at once. They cut it repeatedly, then escalated to industrial equipment after Texas sued.

Government: land registries, voting records, public spending transparency, identity. All need massive throughput, data integrity, long-term availability. Teranode is built for exactly this. #Teranode #BSV

What speaks to me about Elon Musk is simple. He actually does it. The modern world is full of people who talk. Talk about changing the world. Talk about protecting freedom. Talk about helping humanity. Talk about the future. Musk builds. When others were writing articles about electric cars, he was building them. When others were laughing at reusable rockets, he was landing them. When others were talking about connecting the world, he was launching satellites. When others were debating free speech, he spent $44 billion and bought the battlefield itself. That is rare. Very rare. Most people want comfort. Most people want approval. Most people want everyone around them to smile and clap. Musk seems driven by something else entirely. The mission comes first. The work comes first. The outcome comes first. If that costs sleep, so be it. If that costs money, so be it. If that costs his reputation, so be it. There is something deeply admirable about a person who keeps moving forward under that kind of weight. That spirit resonates with many Japanese people. Duty before comfort. Responsibility before popularity. Results before excuses. I don't admire Elon Musk because he is rich. I admire him because he is willing to stake everything on what he believes. The world has no shortage of commentators. It has a shortage of builders. And Elon Musk is one of the greatest builders of our time.

He was arrested for drunk driving in March. He was arrested for drunk driving again in April. In July, he got behind the wheel drunk and high on cocaine doing sixty miles an hour on the wrong side of the road and killed a mother and her eleven-year-old daughter. July 26, 2025. Lakewood, New Jersey. Saturday night. Just after 11:20 p.m. A 42-year-old mother is driving home with two girls in the car. Her daughter. Her daughter's friend. Both eleven. That's it. That's the whole evening. A mom driving her kid and her kid's friend home on a Saturday night. A Dodge Durango comes at them head-on. Sixty miles an hour. Wrong side of the road. Over the double yellow line. Past four other cars before it finds theirs. The impact kills the mother at the scene. Her eleven-year-old daughter is rushed to the hospital. She doesn't make it. The friend in the back seat survives. She is eleven years old and she just watched her best friend and her best friend's mother die. The man driving the Durango had a blood alcohol level of .19 — nearly three times the legal limit. He also had cocaine in his system. He walked away from the crash alive. Now go back four months. March 2025. Police arrest him for drunk driving. He is released. April 2025. Police arrest him for drunk driving. Again. He is released. Again. Two DUIs in two months. Two chances to take this man off the road. Two times the system opened the door and said: try again. Go back further. June 2023. He was arrested for domestic violence. He was released. He was not supposed to be in this country. He had entered illegally. No valid license. No legal right to be on that road on that night in that lane doing sixty toward that car. Two DUIs in sixty days. A domestic violence arrest before that. And not once — not one single time — did anyone in the system say: this man should not be here. Not the court that processed his DUIs. Not the state that let him walk twice. Not the country that never came looking. A toxicology expert later testified that based on how fast alcohol leaves the body, his actual blood alcohol at the time of impact was approximately three times the legal limit. Three times. He crossed a double yellow line passing four cars before he found the one with a mother and two little girls inside. She was forty-two. She was someone's whole world. She was driving carefully. She was doing everything right. Her daughter was eleven. Eleven. They should be together right now. The mom should be nagging her daughter about cleaning her room. The daughter should be rolling her eyes and doing it anyway. They should be arguing over what to watch. They should be laughing about something stupid. They should be alive. They should be alive. They should be alive. This week — June 2026 — the man who killed them pleaded guilty. Two counts of aggravated manslaughter. Prosecutors are seeking twenty years. Twenty years for two lives. A mother. And the eleven-year-old girl she was trying to bring home safe. One DUI is a warning. Two DUIs in two months is a scream. A system that hears that scream and lets a man walk is a system that has decided some people's lives are an acceptable price to pay. A mother and an eleven-year-old girl were the price. God bless every parent driving home tonight with a child in the back seat, trusting that the roads are safe, trusting that the system caught the ones it already had its hands on, and God forgive every piece of it that didn't.

People in Britain keep messaging me. They want me to post something. They cannot post it themselves. Not because they are wrong. Because in their country, being right about the wrong topic can end your job, your reputation, your freedom. So they ask a Japanese account to say it instead. That is not a small thing. That is what a country looks like when free speech is already gone.

Caught at the border. Released. Caught again in Chicago. Released again. Arrest warrant issued. No one came. Three years later he put on a ski mask, hid behind a lighthouse, and shot an eighteen-year-old college girl in the back. She was looking at the skyline with her friends. She died on the concrete. This was preventable. Every. Single. Piece. Of this. Was preventable. March 19, 2026. Chicago. She's a freshman. Eighteen. Flew in from a small town in New York to chase a bigger life. Just after midnight, she walks out of her dorm with five friends. Laughing. Whispering. Someone heard the northern lights might be out. They want to see the skyline from the pier. Just kids. Just a Thursday night. The kind of stupid beautiful thing you do when you're eighteen and the world still feels safe. She walks ahead of the group. Reaches the lighthouse first. Behind it, in the dark, a man is waiting. Black clothes. Black ski mask. A handgun. She turns. Whispers to her friends — someone's back there. He steps out. Gun raised. They run. One shot. It hits her in the back. Her friends hear her drop. They come back. She's on the ground. Bleeding. Eighteen years old and dying on a concrete pier because she wanted to see the city lights. Now here's the timeline that should make your blood boil. May 2023. He crosses the border illegally. Border Patrol catches him. Has him in custody. Releases him into the country. June 2023. One month later. Chicago. Arrested for shoplifting. They have him. Again. Release him. Again. He's told to show up to court. He never does. A judge issues a warrant for his arrest. And nobody comes. Nobody knocks on his door. Nobody runs his name. Nobody picks him up. For three years, a man with an active arrest warrant lives freely in Chicago. One block from a college campus. One. Block. You want to know what makes this more than just a tragedy? The state of Illinois has a law. The TRUST Act. It tells local police: Don't help ICE. Don't hold anyone for them. Don't even tell them when you let someone go. A man gets caught at the border — released. Gets caught committing a crime — released. Skips court, warrant goes active — and the law says don't look for him. That is not a broken system. That is the system doing exactly what it was built to do. Read that sentence one more time. The system worked perfectly. And an eighteen-year-old girl is dead. Her parents flew in from New York. Stood on the pier where their daughter was killed. Threw flowers into Lake Michigan. Stop for a second and picture that. A mother. At the exact spot where her child bled out on a school night. Throwing flowers into black water because there's nothing left to do. Her mother told the cameras: "We've got to make changes." Her father: "There are definitely policies that contributed to this happening." They didn't scream. They didn't rage. They stood on cold concrete and asked this country, quietly, to do better. This country has not answered them. She was studying business. She was part of a Christian fellowship on campus. Her family said she made people feel seen. She made people feel valued. She was someone's entire world. And she was just trying to look at the skyline. She should be packing up her dorm room right now. She should be fighting with her roommate about who gets the mini fridge. She should be texting her mom about what to bring home for summer. She should be alive. She should be alive. She should be alive. A border that held him would have saved her. A jail that kept him would have saved her. A warrant someone bothered to serve would have saved her. A state that let its police do their damn jobs would have saved her. Four doors. Four chances. Every single one — left wide open. And a girl who wanted to see the skyline walked to the end of a pier and never came back. God bless every parent who drops their kid off at college, drives home with an empty back seat, and has no choice but to trust that this world will bring them back alive.

@kurtwuckertjr Good luck!
