Oddbean new post about login | logout As the regime loses control it reacts by cutting people who exhibit wrong think off from the financial system.

It is interesting to consider that those who are targeted by governments for speaking out will turn to Bitcoin and become wealthier and freer over time, while those who support or just go along with the corrupt system become poorer. Bitcoin acts as a balancing mechanism inverting the social and economic hierarchy of society, bringing down the corrupt and elevating proponents of individual liberties.
The last few months have been getting worse and worse. They (Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, Google) keep banning opposing to the regime views. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure the government is running bot farms on Reddit (and other media platforms) that are amplifying their views.
We need a critical mass of people to start pushing back hard against all kinds of financial assassination. Convenience and perceived safety are these bastards call of the siren. It’s not enough to say “censorship resistant” to business owners. But I’m confident the tools are coming.
Keep shining a light on the dubious practices of hack companies like Stripe, sir. They'll either change their ways, or they'll find out very painfully that they should've protected their customers.
