    Read_827 - The Conflict of Men's Interests

    "...that the lives and efforts of other men are not his property and are not there to serve his wishes. A rational man never holds a desire or pursues a goal which cannot be achieved directly or indirectly by his own effort." ~ Ayn Rand
    Is the conflict between individual interests and society a myth? Discover how Ayn Rand's principles of rational self-interest challenge common beliefs about competition and cooperation, and what it means for our understanding of freedom and responsibility.

    Read_826 - The Supreme Court Ruling and Implications for Operation Choke Point

    "In NRA, the Court addressed a critical issue impacting not only traditional advocacy groups but any disfavored, but legal, industry. This ruling draws parallels to Operation Choke Point 2.0, where U.S. regulators have allegedly been targeting crypto businesses through financial exclusion. Moreover, the recent _Cantero_ decision sheds light on how this legal framework might impact Custodia Bank's appeal against the denial of their master account by the Federal Reserve." - Colin Crossman
    Multiple verdicts recently came down from the Supreme Court, and they may very well end up being ammunition to fight back against the gross regulatory overreach and extralegal attacks on the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem. How might they change the fight against Operation Choke Point 2.0, squeezing the crypto market out of financial access, and how could it impact Custodia Bank's rejection and ongoing battle to get an account at the Federal Reserve? Find out what it means, and what we may be able to do about it, in a great article from Colin Crossman.
