Open source, reproducible builds are pretty powerful. However, if a project has "balls to grab", the government will strip the devs and grab them. The solution is anonymous development.
Non-doxxed devs means no one to emprison.
This is a must listen for anyone who owns Bitcoin or values #freedom. Self custody is under attack behind the scenes. We all knew it was coming but it’s here now.
It starts with certain wallet software and hardware being approved and then comes the backdoors. Being open source isn’t a silver bullet either. Remember the xz backdoor [1]?

Absolutely agree that anonymous devs are critical. We need a group of people who can’t get FATFucked.
