You sound like you may be American...
You also can't expect every member of a battle to be on the front lines. The 3 countries are US, China and North Korea. Think about that. Like it or not America is the land of the fiat and the home of the FED
Oh I don't blame acinq for pulling out of the US, but it's a symptom of the design of the open source software the network currently runs on. Upgrade the software, change the network and improve the incentives for better outcomes.
