💯, just think about how much more companies and individuals could focus on actually building and making things better if they didn't have to fear the government shutting them down if they make a mistake, this isn't how it should be and is honestly very sad.
Until the technology is truly unstoppable and private, we have to watch our effing backs.
The government is controlled by forces whose wealth is threatened by a leveling.
Can’t believe how much they don’t want an idea and a code to succeed. A code that is keeping tabs, a code that is working for me and the people around me to exchange value, just so that they can control me.
Set a precedent by going anon. It's a sacrifice you can make by rejecting all the benefits of having your real identity on Nostr.
Are you willing to make it?
Such a drag
The US is determined to not be part of the new economy.
Do you think they would just let us alone building a system that will destroy their system and control over society? They will kill us all before that.
You need interesting material to write a good story.
Adversarial interference by governments will only make us stronger and give rise to Post Traumatic Growth.
Embrace your enemies.
And they will be cheered on by dedicated serfs who oppose their own freedom as long as it costs us ours. This can be seen clearly in r/Buttcoin.
We don't send every person to prison, on the basis that one of them might do something wrong. Yet, despite the fact that many of us are capable of living responsibly and independently, we are forced to live under Government dictate.
Shouldn't we have a tier of society where those capable of living in peace are free to go about their business?
If you demonstrate that you're incapable of upholding the standard, then you get to go and live under Government.
And if you can't live there, to prison...

It’s crazy to think we have to worry about the government and how they react to what we build instead of being able to focus on building the future without fear of possibly being thrown in a cage. For building freedom technology that levels the playing field and brings about the equal opportunity politicians LARP about.

they know we will bring about a fairer world, but it will make it also more unequal.
Do we live in a free country, Marty?
The "then they fight you" phase is real and it should be: BTC destroys their ring of power.
So fucking true
Keep building our future and thank you. Newton, Galileo, etc also had to forge ahead through the ignorant miasma surrounding them.
Not that you prolly have time/care to GAF but I was following you since ₿ Atlantis. Just refollowed again …
That just makes us a normal industry, really.
ah, you see, that's where they made their first mistake
cyberhornets don't do regulation or swallow the fraud of government
it's either a common consensus, like things like measurement standards and RFCs and maxims of law, or we are gonna do every little subtle thing we can to topple it, everyone knows big events are always theatre to promote political rhetoric
engineers gonna engineer the undoing of stupidity, eventually, people eventually get it when the pedagogues make nice neat slogans that topple the official story
Focus must be self sovereign projects. Something they can't destroy. Free and open source. With no entity to attack.
Projects that sacrifice some self sovereignty for functionality is doomed. It's a harder hill to climb but paramount.
Preach.
It’s kinda the norm when a paradigm shifting technology comes along
THE GOVERNMENT CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES.
