This is a shining example of why we need NWS (Nostr Web Services)... decentralized, non-cancellable/non-seizable domains.
Hard to see how our shared vision for bitcoin can be realised as long as the state exists.
This website "could be used for innocent purposes, though given it was happy to turn a blind eye to whoever was using it, it is no surprise it was allegedly utilized by questionable netizens, hence its seizure by the Feds."
In other words have fun with your inflation proof money but don't you dare think you can just send it freely without complying with US sanction lists or you get locked up.
the banking cartel sees bitcoin as it's worst enemy so of course it calls its dogs on it whenever it can
"money laundering" is just a political attack on anyone you want to rob
this is the same "expropriation" that the soviets engaged in, the accusation is the same "helping the enemy" who is "destroying democracy and eating babies"
what they can't stop is when everyone realises what is going on
