Those who refuse to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it. Running p2p nodes, too decentralized and anonymous to stop, is what defends individual sovereignty. Self-watering down p2p systems won't help them stay robust, it's just a slippery slope. Arguing decentralization…
I’d never trust anyone on the right or the left who is inconsistent on free speech. A person willing to abandon this fundamental American principle for short-term politics—justifying their own hypocrisy by citing the other side’s hypocrisy—can’t be counted on to uphold anything.
If I wanted to stifle Bitcoin, cause stagnation, and prevent it from reaching its full potential... I'd try to convince folks that its most skilled developers are actually a threat.

Brian Quintenz is the right person for the complex derivatives markets the CFTC oversees. For crypto, he is uniquely positioned to deliver on a new area of agency responsibility. I’m proud to have worked with him on issues and to call him a friend. It’s time to confirm BQ.

name 1 respected Bitcoin developer who advocates for Knots. someone who didn't lose 300 BTC on a server hot wallet (wtf?!) and then called the FBI on all core devs. I'll wait.

We’re launching DCI Global, a nascent research network to study real-world Bitcoin & stablecoin use, starting with a joint MIT–UnB open-source course to build global capacity.
Many Bitcoin influencers avoid taking a position on the spam debate because they face an uncomfortable reality that large swaths of maxis are ignorant of how Bitcoin operates and educating them with facts is met with anger because it conflicts with Puritan canon.
They were so focused on Number Go Up they did not notice the Freedom Go Down.
