Yeah, I love the idea, but I don’t think enough people embraced it quickly enough. The powers that be understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies now and have been given enough time to act against them. Bitcoin mining farms are easy to detect and shutdown. If it ever came down to it, they could just commandeer some and add new ones until they crippled the blockchain. I know most people don’t want to believe it, but they locked everything down during Covid without much pushback, killing Bitcoin is definitely within their power. In the end it all comes down to force and resolve. I hope nostr helps people to see that and understand how precious freedom is.

I think reading Vaclav Havel’s “The Power of the Powerless” would be worth your time.

i don’t think shutting down miners will be the play.

internet capture is more likely.

Oh, I agree with you, just pointing out that they don’t need to be subtle. I will give it a look.
