This makes up to $1m that the ETH foundation has pledged in Support of Roman Storm, Tornado Cash and Payment Privacy.

Since Bitcoiners are way more based than Vitalik that must mean BlockStream, Lightning Labs, Block and Brink must have given millions to Samourai's Defense fund...

If you are curious why SW and TDev felt compelled to take a plea and Roman is still fighting, I can think of some reasons.

take the plea and get the money 💰 #ethereum saving lives. Bitcoin would never

ETH stepping up and putting their money where their mouth is??

They're so based. Based on fiat. Based on government cuckery. Based on not giving a fuck about being sovereign Bitcoiners.

This is 100% spot on.

Especially considering their investors 1031 and their talking heads literally turned their backs on them for damn near a year of their hourse arrest. No mention of support until well after the big Pardon and Orange Man I'm charge.

I'm really disappointed with most bitcoiners nowadays. I've expected more.

one of the above listed did donate privately but agree that overall the lack of support was disappointing

A public endorsement of the fucked up nature of their indictment with a pledge to match donations, is much more valuable than a private donation.

The listed companies all rely on Bitcoin being usable in a non-Government controlled way, but their lack of support has definitely contributed to the Government winning a plea.

SW and TDev did not have the support of the large Bitcoin companies, even though their case will have serious repercussions for each of their businesses. It is like shooting themselves in the foot.

WHERE is this level of solidarity in the bitcoin space?? It's almost like hoggish individualism is unsustainable

I'd call it high time preference rather than Hoggish individualism.

It's both. People trying to get rich quickly by abusing Bitcoin like a Ponzi, and promoting greed as a virtue at the expense of collaboration
