This will be a long reply, and I know most people won’t read from some random. I work in healthcare science, have done for 15+ years. When the COVID thing happened I was immediately sceptical, due to my training. I had colleagues who were also sceptical off the record at the start of this thing, because of our training and what we knew about this stuff (eg the use of computer modelling to predict Armageddon was very suspicious as we know how modelling is easily manipulated).

However the signalling and messaging that was bombarded down to us from every angle made it so that any questioning of the narrative would result in severe penalties - basically you’d lose your job and you’d never work in healthcare again was the message. No one wanted to risk it.

People I knew and respected kept their head down and towed the line for fear of reprisals and losing their only source of income. It’s easy to be a hero when you are financially secure - but when you are living pay day to pay day, with a family to support, it’s a totally different situation. I don’t blame anyone for keeping their head down during those 3 years.

The people who were actively pushing the mandate and spying / reporting on each other are certainly to blame and were collaborators in my opinion. It was scary to see neighbours become government spies overnight, reporting their neighbours for leaving their house. But those who just kept their head down trying to survive I don’t blame at all.

Totally agree. These shitcoins will destroy themselves in time, without any help needed from the SEC or anything else. We’re in a phase at the moment; might take 30 years for it to fully play out but the zero value proposition of turd tokens like XRP will be understood in time, just might take a while….

Fuck the SEC. Fuck XRP. Viva la Bitcoin!
