Over Thanksgiving week 2022, Jason Lowery caught the entire Bitcoin community's attention with provocative arguments for the application of the Second Amendment to Bitcoin and mining operations. While Jason puts forth compelling ideas, his discussion regarding how (and if!) the Second Amendment ought to be applied to bitcoin mining lacks legal rigor. In this episode, Logan Bolinger, Arceris, and host Storm Rund break down some of Jason's arguments and provide informed legal perspectives. 

We discussed:

- A glaring threat vector to Bitcoin mining no one seems to be talking about (hello Twitter bots)

- What constitutes *real* legal precedent

- Basics of the restrictions on the Second Amendment

- Constitutionality of state seizure of Bitcoin miners

- Examination of the low, middle and high ebbs of the Youngstown Steel Seizure tripartite framework

- Possible avenues of resistance
