This. A ban on #Bitcoin services, insane regulations, and attacks on privacy tools will only harm the *regulated market.*

The technology and the market of bitcoin literates will shift. And it will result in a massive move toward small entities, self hosted & private services, a new market of local trusted providers (think one person hosting payment/LN services for their whole extended family and numerous friends), and a far better ecosystem of privacy tools and obscured ramps into and out of those pools of private coins.

This system is open, permissionless, and global. Their attacks will be a pain in the ass, but on the long time frame it won’t work, and may only accelerate the type of development we need. nostr:note1xpr3c4uwh6rna880syuaarlukrtqc42hdn395wwhegfwlh9t8u8srxdkgt
