Watching Bitcoiners cheer on federal takedowns of other cryptocurrency projects (justified or not) is... An interesting irony.

If they're coming for others they're going to come for Bitcoin. The law won't save you, we have to build and learn the tools.

First they came for the shitcoiners, and I did not speak out - because I was not a shitcoiner...

"If they're coming for others they're going to come for Bitcoin." I think many Bitcoiners expect this

Then why are they cheering on attacks by the feds against other projects 🤔

Bitcoin, not crypto?

That's my guess. Since crypto is all scams and Bitcoin is not, why worry?

I personally think we should still worry. Maintaining freedom is a never ending struggle.

Because they believe Bitcoin will withstand or better resist such an attack, which would demonstrate Bitcoin's superiority over the altcoins the State puts down

"projects"

LoL

There's no "they", only individuals

The "bitcoiners" who got a boner when SEC goes after any tokens are beyond pathetic.

Max keiser is a good example, early rich adopter but terrible way of onboard people

focus on building,

ignore the noise

Attacks are inevitable. They are coming for all of us. I think the cheering is a celebration of the cleansing of projects that chose the incorrect tradeoffs that will lead to their demise (while criticizing Bitcoin's tradeoffs).

Imagine someone prentends to be you and sneaks into your house while you are out doing work. They charm your family as they appear to be a somehow more exciting version of you. They syphon your money and resources away over time until finally one day they get shot by someone from the last family they infiltrated.

I don't get why you don't see this as a good thing. Crypto is not a comfy, friendship carebear hang-out. It's a predatory shitstorm of misinformation misleading and syphoning from the innocent, and diffusing the on-boarding energy that should be going towards real sovereignty.

Anyways, please read my pushbacks as compliments, i've been a reader of yours for a while and enjoy your work, but i show it in ways that does not communicate tone well, i guess.
