This is the bed that we made and are now laying in… in 2017-2019 punks we’re desperately trying to tell everyone that the culture had been infiltrated. We were censored. deplatformed. And threatened with jail. So things like lbry.tv rolled around but don’t worry- the SEC decided our friends selling lemonade were suddenly Bernie Madoff level white collar criminals. And every crypto start up had to operate covertly or risk being sued…. But it’s fine because 5 years later their gonna make pump fun and their gonna track every rug pull… they’re gonna send in influencers to do it. It’s not entrapment… it’s a hot girl lambo infomercial :D they won’t necessarily take them to jail though… a aaa aaa tuah… they will however use humiliation and black mail rituals to get them to do what they want
When that doesn’t work they will hack them until they lose they’re fucking mind and maybe even kill themselves - the goal is isolation and/or public ruin, anyone with any intelligence is stalked and discredited
I wasn’t even all that smart back then but when coins like sweat coin and transhumanist philosophy started rolling out even my dumbass was like “hmmm… I’m not sure that the future we were promised is coming”
Things are the least cypherpunk they’ve ever been. People don’t remember how adversarial 2009-2017 was but I do. I remember the things that happened to my friends and family. I remember the patriot act changing our lives. I remember people being afraid.
Today we have the most freedom to operate that we’ve ever had but we invited our adversaries to our metaphorical war room and unrolled the map for them… but nothing has changed except laws and those laws can easily be reversed.
And I’m talking to myself too… not just about Bitcoin but about surveillance and the things we have accepted as normal. Welcome to Truman Show dot com.
Good morning. Good evening. Good night. 🌙
