"'The Net is an anarchy.' This truism is the core of crypto anarchy—no
central control, no ruler, no leader (except by example or reputation), no
'laws.' No single nation controls the Net, no administrative body sets
policy.
"...This essential anarchy is much more common than many think.
Anarchy (the absence of a ruler telling another person what to do) is
common in many walks of life—choosing books to read, movies to see,
friends to socialize with, and so on. Anarchy does not mean complete
freedom (we can, after all, read only the books that someone has written
and had published), but it does mean freedom from external coercion.
"...Strong crypto provides a technological means of ensuring the practical
freedom to read and write what one wishes to...And of course if speech is free, so are many classes of economic interaction that are essentially tied to free speech.
"A phase change is coming. Virtual communities are in their ascendancy, displacing conventional notions of nationhood. Geographic proximity is no longer as important as it once was.
"...We will be the colonizers of cyberspace."
– Timothy C. May, "Crypto Anarchy and Virtual Communities" (1994)

They "serve" the collectivist, imperial order of a world empire whose ruling class despises "the country".
They "serve" (kill for) the imperial order at the behest of the ruling class. There is zero respect from me in that context.
One man's terrorist organization is another man's government
The aim of the intelligentsia is largely to provide ideological and ethical justifications for the depravities of their beloved ruling class

IMO The Yeshua movement effectively became comatose in the 4th century (Constantinian shift), was revived somewhat in the 16th century (Radical Reformation), then became comatose again in the 18th century (Great Awakening). We're just in the interim period for a few hundred years until another real revival.
I probably wouldn't be here without this man. RIP 🙏

That said, not everyone who stumbled (through ingenuity or happenstance) into Bitcoin early is a moron.
There are only a few left, but we are on a mission for cryptosovereignty and the digital liberation of the world...and we will never give up.
Network-communication protocols trend towards one. This is descriptive, not prescriptive.
No one uses "TCP/IP maxi".
"History is written by the victors" is not taken seriously enough
