I guess I'll take a crack at this. Universally preferable behavior is the set of all possible actions which may be achieved simultaneously by all moral actors. ... Except that would be universally possible behavior, so it needs some refining. I'm trying to make it as concise as possible. I think the whole reason that the root word "prefer" is in there, is to acknowledge that the scope of the work applies more broadly than a moral imperative like "Thou shalt not murder." Some actions are morally neutral, but they can still be evaluated based on their universality, and UPB still applies to that action. It's basically a way to include the notion of win-win interactions in the title. The big four are all win-lose scenarios.

One person alone can not be responsible for a boycott, and boycotts don't usually kill people. You mention "in an ancap state" so is this a state-enforced boycott? Well then we're in the realm of coercion and none of this applies. Plus there are usually enough people who are not participating in the boycott in order for group X to continue to function. If there's not, maybe they really do deserve it (general case, not saying that's true for any particular ethnic group.) I mean, if you or your organization pisses off EVERY single damn person around you, and no one wants to interact with you - that's economic ostracism, that's how we can deal with criminals etc. Whatever heady philosophical terminology you want to give that idc, but boycotting is entirely a voluntary action (except for children of religious families, no Disney for j00).

Are you wanting to create a website that brokers bitcoins? Or some kind of mobile app or what? Nail down the specific plan and business model. What's your part in it - what skills do you possess that would apply to your venture? You may be able to learn the business and regulatory requirements from the internet and a couple of consulting sessions. But you sound unsure of the exact nature of what you want to do, and you gotta figure that out first. "a bitcoin business that provides a service or education" What's that going to look like? Who are your customers going to be, and why should they choose your service? Not saying they wouldn't, but you need to figure out your angle of what makes you competitive. How are you going to sell it? Let me warn you right now, the financial industry is an ever-shifting quicksand desert of regulation, you have to stay on top of all the bullshit that federal and state legislatures pass. That's the main reason I had a job there for a while, as a programmer making changes to meet new legal requirements. You may only be able to operate in certain states. It might not be quite that bad, though, because you're not making loans, just trading a commodity, but it's basically currency trading, and the slimy tentacles of zealous bureaucrats will reach it soon enough. Beware of regime uncertainty, and run-on sentences. Don't let that scare you though. Have confidence, but not false confidence. As Sven said, focus on making the best product possible, and watch the bottom line. As far as the business-y type stuff and accounting goes, I'm sure as long as you keep records of all transactions you'll be fine. Save receipts. The nice people at the IRS will let you know if you're doing it wrong. Might want to keep aside a little buffer for "oops I owe more taxes than I thought," never hurts. Put it in a CD and earn some interest while it sits there. A lot of the accounting can be handled by out-of-the-box software. If you're going to tie it in to a website, though, make sure the software supports some kind of import function. At my previous workplace we had a script that would scan our internal databases and generate a .csv file (I think that was the format anyway) to import into quickbooks, which the bookkeepers would then review and sign. Unless there were discrepancies (like people stealing from the drawer) it's pretty much automatic. The work was in the setup. Hope some of that helps.

"Who taught you to approach women with bent knees, broken balls, and an open wallet?"

It seems like they're questioning not whether there were concentration camps, but whether these elaborate implements of death were actually used. What I've heard is that several camps were in industrial areas, with chemicals and smoke stacks nearby. This made the place smell, and rumors got started. Germany was struggling to feed people. They wouldn't spend a bunch of money on sophisticated equipment for that, they just let them starve. Those chambers were showers, iirc, but people died either way. The mass graves are definitely real. I have no doubt that the Holocaust happened. My next door neighbor growing up was a camp survivor.

Eh, who cares about Harvard anyway. By the time the millenials have kids, college will be a thing of the past. Hopefully the Prussian education model in general too.
