I have to admit and it makes me bullish, that most of politicians are not aware about the importance of #PoW, but once they are able to ask questions and see the arguments they change their minds. It doesn’t mean that they become bitcoiners immediately, but those who care about human rights - stand on our side and support our recommendations for amendments. Also we know and cooperate with those politicians over decade - they know for example how #Kazakhstan and other Central Asia dictators abuse #AML/CFT regulations for transnational repression against their opponents. We speak with politicians with concrete examples, my case including.

This is how we were able to defend PoW during the drafting Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (#MiCA) and the same during AML Regulation in the #EU.

In the US #bitcoin is a commodity, in the EU is it a payment instrument in the upcoming AML regulation.

But now we need to explain/educate in the same concept: human rights defenders and deep knowledge of bitcoin miners about PoW.
