If they did nothing wrong why do they plead guilty?' If you know you are innocent, you will never plead guilty of anything. Why is so hard to understand this and just continue to virtue signaling?

Choose your allies wisely fellow Bitcoiners.

I've been saying the same thing! Had these devs understood what it meant to be a true Samurai, not LARPing as warriors for freedom, they would NEVER "plea" for mercy. Rather than xompromise their honor by pleading to a victimless crime they didn't even commit they would've fell own their own sword. Death before dishonor is part of the Way of the Samurai. Family or not, they should've recognized that death was a possible, even likely, outcome for having built tools that undermine the Nanny State's power. A real Samurai, not a LARP, would commit seppuku before pleading before the crown!

You think they should have taken legal advice from a movie? You have no idea what you're up against.

As someone who has actually had to deal with “the men with guns” coming for you, I can say there is no easy way out. Everything you *think* you will do in this situation is gone when your life is actually on the line; I guarantee there are very few who would put up the middle finger when the time finally comes. They literally do not give a shit what you say, or even what you are accused of or why. Possibly they don’t even know. All they know is that their boss, or more likely, someone higher up behind the curtain is asking for you. Asked for your name. Your body. Your family. Call yourself citizen, or don’t, but they will come. And they will use force. My family made the decision to take our private keys and leave. We are not fighters. And I refused to plea. Refused to participate. Refused to play their games. Does this make me ‘sovereign’ or just another loser? The rules are written by someone else, and no one gets to opt in or out. When they want you, they will come for you. The only thing you can do is be prepared to give up everything—or give them what they want. View quoted note →

You are a faggot, kill yourself.
