As a Canadian, I'm curious as to what your take is on the trucker convoy.
Discussion
As an American it was embarrassing to see how commie most Canadians are. The influencers that made it about themselves (foss, sessions, booth) froze when the pressure elevated and they left everyone stranded to fend for themselves. The only ppl that stepped up were jww and that young guy carbono or whatever which thank God they did so at least some of the bitcoin got to the truckers in time. It was a great example of ppl that don’t understand the risks involved with challenging the state and why btc matters. The sad part is the takeaway from the herd was that oh poor influencers it’s just jww’s fault bc he got upset and thought they were worst case scamming or best case just ill equipped for the job. Looking back we probably should have just done all peer to peer, avoided the attention whoring, and realize that we aren’t perfect and we can learn from our Ls, even if they are popular. But that wasn’t the takeaway, they didn’t learn anything.
He's in complete denial that KYC and the traceability of Bitcoin played zero part in what happened with the trucker convoy donation fiasco.
Unconfiscateability doesn't mean much without privacy and anonymity. All it took was sending a few goons with guns to peoples homes to give up the coin.
Apparently rand0mguest2 didn't learn anything either
I think KYC played a role, but wasn't the core issue. Monero wouldn't have been able to defend itself against it either.
