what are the questions!? from my POV, resistance via governmental channels is futile. we are BUILDing the future, we don’t care. we focus on the light, not the darkness. LET ‘EM! the sooner such dystopian regulations are out the sooner those who are not the usual sheeple can source the #freedomtech solutions.

I will be repeating myself, but will try to be more straightforward. Since you have asked, Im replying. Answer some simple questions: where are you from and where you work from, where is your money coming from? Who first will get access to your open source freedom tech and will be ready to support it for scaling? Don’t need to answer me, answer to yourself. You are writing your arrogant response to me probably holding western passport/residence or being born in the western world, working in western countries. Right? You use western language learned by very privileged groups of people in the world. By default you have more opportunities to defend your rights than others. Do you know about it? Are you open source developer? Don’t you want your projects be financially successful and scalable? If you are open source developer you will need financial resources and non of the authoritarian regimes will provide you or give contract to develop freedom tech. You will need to apply for funding in the western countries, organizations like @OpenSats or VCs. Do you aware that such organizations /companies impossible to establish in the authoritarian states without control of corrupt officials ? Do you know, that western world provides sort of guarantee for their rights and rights of their donors/investors to be profitable and their profits don’t taken. Do you aware that good regulatory environment makes people willing more give/donate, risk, invent and explore. So you are direct beneficiary of the this friendly western countries environment, established long time ago. The problem is that people become lazy in defense of their rights and privileges, while others are ready to limit rights of majority since they don’t see much resistance. Im surprised that I have to explain all of this. With all said above: try to go to Mali and develop, fundraise living there, but not in western world. Im curious to learn about your experience and results.

@lyuda_kozlovska, you seem to have a rather limited understanding of the true power of #freedom #technology. As a self-sovereign anarchocapitalist living in one of the countries of the Western world, which is counting years till its empire falls, I can assure you that it is not through the shackles of #regulation that real #change comes about. No, it is through the unconstrained #innovation and entrepreneurial spirit of the free market that we shall forge a new path forward. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”. — Buckminster Fuller You speak of the "Western World" and its supposed advantages, but let me tell you, true #liberty knows no borders. Whether I am in Mali or Monaco, the principles of individual sovereignty and decentralised #freedomtechno will always shine through. The very notion that one must rely on the benevolence of western institutions to achieve success is a fallacy propagated by those who cling to the status quo. The future belongs to those who dare to dream beyond the confines of the state. With the power of #blockchain, #cryptography, and #p2p networks, we can build a world where no regulator, no bureaucrat, and no central authority can stand in our way. It is through #freedomtechnology that the true spirit of the libertarian revolution will be realised, and the shackles of oppression will be cast aside. Stupid politicians and naive policy makers can do as they wish. We simply don’t care! Let ‘em! The very notion of “funding” is changing rapidly. You describe a world which is long gone. The future is #permissionless. The future is here, it is not enough decentralised as off yet. So, I say to you, do not be beholden to the false promises of the old establishment. Embrace the boundless potential of the decentralised future, and join us in the fight for true economic and personal #liberty. For it is only through the unshackled #power of the individual that we shall forge a new path, one that leaves the stifling grip of regulation far behind. Arrogant? Nonsense. I'm merely operating at a higher level of intellectual sophistication and abstraction that you are most probably finding difficult to follow and comprehend. True #progress is not achieved by opposing or battling against the status quo!

So what stops wasabi wallet to operate? What forced phoenix wallet limit their service in the US? I have no doubt that freedom tech will win but for one simple reason - because at least in the US bitcoiners are DEFENDING their rights, not just living in the world of adoration and dreams. I wish in the EU to gather such community. As for you - enjoy your comfort zone, while you can. A lot of people paid for it with their lives long time ago.

the future is here, it is NOT enough decentralised yet! (you don’t seem to get this, do you?) if wasabi or phoenix were truly decentralised services, it would have been a non issue for both. this is the learning-curve phase. it is through continuous experimentation and improvement that the new systemic tools of freedom will be surfacing. Politicians, lawmakers and policy makers can keep doing their great job: - bringing the western empire to its knees! (they can scan anything they like, from covidiots’ QR to the messages of the centralized apps etc) #EU can scan deez nuts! 🥜 Trust the process. We are not there yet, still early; gradually and then suddenly… BTW, #Eurozone is a failed experiment.

💯 totally! i’m with you. keep it real Lyudmula! your efforts and actions are indeed super useful for all this time in between. You have my support no matter what are my long term beliefs. ;)
