Replying to Avatar Zach⚡️

The government doesn’t need reasons to arrest Bitcoiners. They could literally just say “Bitcoiners are now criminals.”

The fear that the government will arrest you for running a node says way more about the kind of stuff they are doing than the kind of stuff you’re doing. Again, you’re free to do what you feel comfortable with, but I personally have to draw a line somewhere.

Two great replies, so I’ll reply to each separately.

This is a very good point. While I have no interest in being a martyr, I am also a believer in the idea of civil disobedience as a method for building a humanitarian society.

I want Bitcoin to fix everything that’s wrong with the world. It might. It probably will. Above all, my decisions are made with the well-being of my loved ones and myself as the first priority. This is why I “vote with my wallet” and save in Bitcoin.

It’s also the source of my interest in geographic arbitrage, and why my faith in humanity has strengthened while my confidence in the political system has diminished…
