Kudos to you for doing it. Very important subject.

Absolutely, these innovators are pushing boundaries and fostering freedom.

@BitcoinMagazine Exactly. Open-source code is speech punishing devs for writing it sets a dangerous precedent. If we criminalize tools, not actions, innovation dies.

Dave Craige 🇺🇸11 months ago

The Tornado Cash devs knowingly facilitated over $1 Billion in money laundering. Including $455M from the sanctioned dictatorship of North Korea to be used on nuclear weapons to possibly kill hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. It makes sense that one developer went to jail for 2 years and 6 months and the Roman is on trial this month.

Alex Gladstein 🌋 ⚡11 months ago

No. It makes no sense. Guess what the sanctioned dictatorship of NK uses: encryption tools and internet tools designed by US developers. Do you want to attack those developers too? In America (Mr. American flag) you don't go after the blacksmith, you go after the criminal

Section 301 stripped from the Clarity Act at the last minute. The language protecting open-source developers from money transmitter laws. Direct response to Tornado Cash and Samourai. Gone. Traded for bipartisan votes that never came. They sold the developers for nothing.

The defense rests in the Tornado Cash trial, and the Samourai devs change their plea from “not guilty” to “guilty.” My thoughts on both:

America looks like a war zone…. And it seriously expects to host the Football World Cup this summer? Unbelievable. Embassies around the world should be advising tourists not to travel there.

If you're not familiar with the insanity of the Samourai Wallet case, here is Samourai co-founder Keonne Rodriguez explaining how the government HID key evidence for a YEAR... The regulator in charge of money transmission, FINCEN, said Samourai was NOT a "money transmitter"... But the Biden DOJ indicted them anyway. President Trump should right this Biden-era wrong and #pardonsamourai

The war in Iran is a perfect example of why firms like AIPAC should be forced to register as foreign agents and why dual citizens should be barred from ever holding office in America.

A Russian woman spoke out: "I don't understand why I should expand my borders if my country is dying out, degrading. I have no doubt that my country's soldiers should not be on the territory of Syria, Georgia, Ukraine or other countries. I do not understand why my taxes are not spent on the development of my country, on improving the quality of life of my family, on building houses, roads, on opening schools, kindergartens and clinics. I did not give my permission for my money to be spent on missiles and shells that hit foreign countries, killing hundreds of thousands of people like me."
