 I'm not complaining, just explaining the reality as it is, so you can better focus your energy on solutions that can work.  
 I guess my 15 years experience of releasing hundreds of political prisoners around the world, as well as defending hundreds of thousands of politically persecuted people in many countries, as well as ability to resist to at least three state attacks, also thanks to #bitcoin, and hold accountable authoritarian regimes could give me some leverage to say that I know what Im fighting for and what Im saying. I don’t know your background, but happy to learn. 
 You did great work with respect to activists and political prisoners, no doubt. Regulators and people above them act unreasonably when it comes to anything that threatens the system that benefits the incumbent powers.
