* Monero under loads of txpool attacks

* Rune tokens and ordinals also driving load to bitcoin blockspace

* USA Election year

* The current administration began publicly R&D for CBDCs over 2 years ago giving it more time to develop

* Brazillian government silencing speech and becoming more dictatorial every day

* Less and less right wing protests, less and less participants

* Rumble blocked in Brazil

* New term invented by the EU "unhosted wallets" to possibly be regulated

* Life getting more and more unaffordable due to the effects of inflation

* Physical cash getting less accepted everywhere

I wonder, if another COVID or similar era of tyranny were to happen AGAIN, how different will things go? will it be harder or easier to fight back this time around?

hate towards samurai devs but it affected everyone, still there is no legal rule but everyone compiled already! so much for censorship resistance and unconfiscatable nature.
