This stuff is gonna wake a lot of normies up. As much as it's dystopic, I'm quite optimistic of the counter culture it will strengthen.

Not sure what happened to my reply here, I hope it was an error and was never sent vs me getting reported and deleted from relays but from memory I'll summarize. Your defeatist opinion here ensures that this reality will perpetuate. If everybody puts up their arms and goes "oh well" we'll see many worse cases than Samourai Wallet or Tornado Cash. You are also incorrect to say that you cannot be pseudononymous or create software that can't be taken down. Darknet services are incredibly difficult to subpoena having no domain let alone public IP address. They are also very resilient, always popping up to replace each other in case of targeted state attack. This is reality, not advice. Consider why you're even in this movement reporting on these cases, this isn't just arbitrary privacy infringements for everybody: its life or incarceration or death for many.

Yeah they'll survive but only on the darknet with pseudonym developers.

KYC world incoming.

The ones who enforce the rules make the rules.

The often put on these charades to build trust in the uninformed. It's the same mirage as all of Apple's similar public displays.

Its not about the money.

Innovation is usually piecewise. Fearmongering and state suppression can only persist for so long.

Crypocurrency is inevitable.

It'd be a 180 on your branding. Not necessarily bad, but would fundamentally change your online presence.
