There is no doubt being cast. Seems like winning to everyone that knows what the mission is. Nobody cares what the US government has to say.

Lightening nodes are 100% money transmitters in the eyes of the Feds. everyone with a Lightening node and channels is subject to prosecution to the same extent Ross Ulbrecht was. expect 20-40 year sentences in solitary confinement. Maximum security. Donald Trump also going to jail . Expect it. you are dealing with Deep State.

Bitcoin is money when it's convenient for them. Bitcoin is a commodity when it's convenient for them. It's whatever the alphabet agency wants to call it when they want to prosecute.
if you hold btc and are not 100% anti-state in every way shape and form, sorry, you do not get it yet. There is no negotiating with criminals and there can be no compromises either. Its no government or tyranny. There is no middle ground. No election will ever change a fucking thing and if you ever vote again, you are assisting the enemy. #donotcomply #nocompromise #nosurrender #breakthestate #gallowsandguillotines2024 View quoted note →

Eliminate competition, then bring in centralized KYC services. Power moves.
Let us host the backend ourselves, Phoenix. This is rediculous to pull out of all markets that have unclear regulation. There will be no Phoenix left because the EU IS NEXT

Actually I figure now its because I don't often use gituub. One does have to hunt for it a little. Its not explicitly indicated as apk. But thanks again. Glad its there. APK is for dissidents under tyranny, ie USA people.

not an overreaction given the idiocy of the prosecution agenda
