The powers that be want to ban cryptocurrencies and they’re doing it via fear mongaring and AARP at the state level now; that effort has hit New Hampshire
The powers that be have failed to kill cryptocurrencies at the federal level, but are now targeting state legislators and getting bills passed in many states that effectivity makes Bitcoin and other cryptos more difficult to utilize than cash and other mechanisms of transferring value (ie credit cards, wire transfers, etc).
They’re utilizing fear mongering around 3td party fraud with the help of AARP’s large membership. With enough ignorant people testifying they manage to get these bills passed despite that these bills don’t stop or even inhibit scams and frauds. They do on the other hand make cryptocurrencies all the more difficult to get and utilize for EVERYONE else.
The bill doesn’t do anything to stop scammers from utilizing mules (a common method), the mail (mailing cash), using gift cards (another common means of getting cash out of older folks), using PayPal/Venmo/and similar, nor other means (like having old people wire money to a mule’s bank account and forwarding it onward).
What is happening here are the powers that be are utilizing the same methods as scammers, but this time to exploit old people into making them believe crypto is the devil. They then put forward bills that regulate Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the extreme and for all intensive purposes ban Bitcoin sales in practice via vending machines. The senate hearing was packed with old people from AARP and it disturbingly passed the senate.
Help save cryptocurrency in New Hampshire!
The address for the house version of the bill is Tuesday April 7th at: 1 Granite Place, Concord, NH 03301.
The hearing is on house bill SB482. “Granite Place” Room 159.
This bill will mandate full KYC for cryptocurrency vending machines, put a $2000 per day limit on purchases, put a 14 day hold on your funds, and make vending operators liable for 3rd party scams if users send their crypto to scammers. It will also mandate chainalysis.
This effectively bans the sale of cryptocurrency through vending machines as it’s economically infeasible to ensure little old ladies buying crypto don’t send their crypto off to scammers after acquisition. If even a small percentage of users did so it would completely eliminate the margins on selling and therefore WILL put every vending machine operator out of business in New Hampshire.
The scary thing is this already passed the senate.
It’s extraordinarily important that everyone who cares about financial freedom show up to the hearing and testify against this bill on Tuesday. Testifying against the bill is easy. You just sign up when you get there and tell the reps why you think this bill should not be passed.
Of the 57 hearings in the House, we are recommending support of 13 and opposition of 6 with 6 being of interest.
Of the 53 hearings in the Senate, we are recommending support of 7 and opposition of 5 with 3 being of interest.

News release from RidleyReport.com:
“Ona Staines, John Stark and King Philip himself are returning from the grave as key characters in an optimistic but terrifying passion project: Legends of the Free State. Legends tells the fantastic yet largely accurate story of New Hampshire, deep into her future and deeper into her past. A Randian exercise in Ringworld-style science fiction, the program speculates: Why is NH such an over-achiever? From the low crime rate to the high per-capita income, could there be something more at play than just her freedoms? Something….unnatural?
Ridley answers with a counterintuitive mix of art and archeology, deploying us first into a geosynchronous O’Neill colony stationed above New England, then to the Antediluvian world of 9600 B.C. It’s the pregnant era where prehistoric humans are just beginning their advance against New Hampshire’s retreating glaciers, where a shimmering “human” figure fills the night sky, and an annoying, conflicted child discovers the magical Object which is destined to affect every square parsec of our universe.
But even the production process is proving to be not-entirely-human…a team effort between one man and his artificial assistants at AI creative hub Poe.com. Former news videographer Dave Ridley of Winchester, NH says he’s using the platform’s image generation models to provide both alternative and opportunity.
“Some viewers,” says Ridley, “are tired of space shows that ignore the laws of physics, prevent you from watching them on Netflix or demand major suspension of disbelief every five minutes. Some of them barely last five minutes.”
By contrast, Ridley says he’s trying to make a long form series that is “scientific, believable and ruthlessly accessible.”
“It’s hard to get reliable accuracy out of these early video generation models and fact-checking bots; we’re making physics mistakes too. But we’re trying to get this right, and we’re improving fast.”
In terms of accessibility, Ridley is hitting that from two different angles.
1) Like the trailer, his series is expected to air for free on Odyssey, where no login is required and VPN viewers are welcome. Revenue will likely come from product placement and limited advertising.
2) The amateur futurist also plans to release his screenplays and raw notes into the public domain, providing “every available sentient being” the data and permissions they need to produce their own Legends content.
“At a time when everyone is worried about AI replacing jobs, this is an attempt to create jobs with AI, ideally create a new industry. For now let’s call it ‘decentralized AI film-making.’ Everyone should be free to run with Legends themselves and make money off of it as they see fit. You could have your favorite AI write a book in the Legends universe and sell the paperback or produce your own side episodes for upload at Odyssey. You could submit them to Apple TV for syndication or start a Legends store on Bonanza…there are a lot of possibilities. If you can produce good enough content that fits into the world of Legends, I guess I’d pronounce you canon and give you free publicity. Otherwise no harm done.”
You can learn more and eventually see the screenplay at:
https://forum.shiresociety.com/t/hard-sci-fi-tv-series-legends-of-the-free-state-brings-nh-icons-to-life/14011
But first, Ridley and his AI teammates will have to prove themselves capable of telling a deeply human tale.
“To me this is a visual story that feels electrical. But the world might disagree. Watch the trailer (above) if you like; decide if I’m on the right track; decide if you want to build your own episodes and push this new genre toward its golden age.”
Of the 32 hearings in the House, we are recommending support of 13 and opposition of 2 with 3 being of interest.
There are no hearings in the Senate this week.
