At least in the basement I read and learn, not like you, smart ass that doesn't know what "plead guilty" means. When a defendant decides to accept an offer for a plea arrangement he gives up some of his important rights: To have a jury trial. To confront and cross-examine witnesses. To compel witnesses to testify at trial. In other words he declare himself a slave, a coward, a nothing. In that moment the accusers can do whatever they want with him. How can you trust anymore somebody talking about freedom and privacy meanwhile is renouncing to his rights? All those donations are going strait to the feds and lawyers pockets. The same lawyers that "advise" them to plead guilty. They saw the opportunity for cash cow to milk more money and they took it. Also what "privacy advocate" will use a unique BTC address for "donations", exposing all the donors, meanwhile everybody scream NOT to re-use an address ? CLEARLY THIS IS A FUCKING TRAP and gullible people fall for it. Before saying stupid things, use your brain. Or STFU.

You don't fight the state by using its legal system that is eternally rugged against you. Yes, if every active Nostr npub would sign up 3 merchants per year that would be a signal nobody could ignore. It's also much cheaper than any funding of state lawyers. You need to extract as much energy and money from the system.
