We should all do what we can, speak out for the cause of bitcoin self custody and financial sovereignty, build what you can and teach who you can.

But I think it's fair to draw the line at not expecting people to 'martyr' themselves at the hands of the state.

For e.g. when I see nym accounts attacking public name and real face people for not being perfectly non-KYC pure, it's just cringe.

You expect that guy to just 'go to jail for the cause'?

Come on now, just encourage people to play their role as best they can.

This expectation of martyrdom was cringe then, right? Wasabi didn't even implement KYC and you were trying to "cancel" it.

I didn't believe that they had to do that at that point.

But I was also wrong to say that, given the recent events I see more clearly now.

It is wrong and unrealistic to expect martyrdom.

These people have families and decades of life ahead of them - I blame no-one for preemptively protecting themselves from despotic regimes.

Smart people ought do that wherever possible.
