I think that's also why I'm enjoying these. Not that I've done anything to attract attention from the authorities, but as I read each of these posts I imagine myself in the same situation and think "would I be able to survive this?". I also think "if he got through it I could too!" and that makes me feel better about my chances in such a hypothetical scenario.

Yeah. I try to stay encouraged and not get caught up in the doom and gloom prognosticators who are convinced we are on the brink of a full-blown totalitarian police state... but then I look around and think about what people are put into prison for and realize Charlie's experiences may come in handy some day if I continue to speak out against government oppression and demand the right to use my own store of value via cryptocurrencies instead of fiat currency if I so choose.
In my case I'm rather paranoid about accidentally running afoul of tax laws. The IRS is pretty aggressive these days. I do my best to file taxes correctly, but my cryptocurrency portfolio is so complicated I worry about messing up and being in trouble if I ever get audited. Thankfully I'm probably too small for them to bother with if it ever came to that, they've got much bigger fish to fry.
