  - Putting things into a system that’s easier to hack, easier to manipulate, and removes the best regulator we have isn’t going to make things better. -- nm - mafic Jul 4, 21:33 4
    - There's never been potential regulation on the level of blockchain in human history. And Bitcoin's never been hacked in 13 years. -- nm - David Jul 4, 22:10 1
      - That’s kind of like saying oil has never been hacked. The number of scams you can run is immeasurably higher, because there’s no regulator. - mafic Jul 4, 22:43

  - Because there’s probably thousands of posts like that every day on social media. What would you have the authorities do? -- nm - Mop Jul 4, 20:25 2
    - but is it thousands? or even hundreds? im not talking someone posting 'i'm gonna kill those/you mo fos' this is multi point red flags -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 4, 20:33 1
      - 'Nobody can stop me' could mean that the poster just secured an audition on America's Got Talent or a million other things -- nm - crash davis Jul 4, 20:53
