Its not that bad. If it was. It would garner attention and we'd win

It will be and you are honestly deluding yourself if you think otherwise. They want control of literally everything. You think they gonna allow coins out of their control without severe penalties for doing so? Well, gonna be your problem when it happens if you aint ready for it, not mine. And Im not saying shut anything down, Im saying be fucking ready, seriously.

Yeah i just think they know what there doing and socially engineer concent through convenience. They can make you look crazy by having the withdraw button while its difficult for anyone to do so due to tax governance etc.

Subtle nudging toward control, then dismissing criticism as paranoia.

Monero isn't even legally banned from exchanges they've nudged the cexs out of the market by setting up risk scores

Power is subtly exerted to pacify the masses, avoiding direct confrontation or control. If they where direct it would be gasoline on the fire.

In response to all 3, yes all are what I was pretty much getting at. The narratives around anything privacy is its for criminals, and they are using the Samaurai guys and whoever got caught up in th Tornado Cash case as examples. Send a message. The way I see it, criminalizing self-custody and private nodes / miners (any coin and any layer), is the only 'logical' end game with it all. Its what. These fuckers do unfortunately. And as I said, this isnt about doom porning people. I just want people to take this possibility seriously, consider potential ramification, and take whatever precautions needed. Better to be ready and it never happen than ignore the possibilty and get blindsided.

Amen to that. Slow creep authoritsrianism.

Yeah only thing to do it opt out and create an alternative narrative.

No disagreement here.

so true 100%
