 In other news: Blacksmith sentenced to 48 months jail; his knife was used to stab someone. This follows the incarceration of an automobile manufacturer, as one of his cars was used for a bank heist. https://image.nostr.build/e752e49812e7ca4fa733e1858dda24192deaf733ef261d7de26e120111f21fa6.jpg 
 Have they arrested their Central Banker yet? 
 There are nor rules anymore. Only decisions made by rulers.

By this logic Linus Torvalds is a criminal for not integrating spyware into Linux.
And Bill Gates is a saint. 
 Look forward to the appeal

 “Building and deploying something unstoppable is also a decision”
- You’re damned right it is !! 
 Gun manufacturers saw this coming. 
 Many such cases. 
 THE STATE DOES NOT PLAY FAIR 
 for the record, that's not me.  
 They don't even need to make sense to take away your freedom. Why even have a trial anymore? 
 The purpose of the trial is to make an example out of someone and intimate everyone else by showing openly that they can destroy anyone's life at any time for any reason. See Soviet show trials. 

The reason for the intimidation is because they're a weak and pathetic minority, and if a significant number of people pushed back they'd be finished in no time. So they have to make sure that never happens.  
 That makes sense.  Oppression is unnatural and requires constant vigilance to maintain.  Fiat will fail by attrition and all the plebs piling up like small cracks in the dam. 
 True. Very succinct way of putting it.  
 yeah it's a show trial to intimidate people

it's not gonna work, i been in the business of this for some time, drugs, bitcoin, now nostr, it's all the same... they can't really stop us, they don't have the budget

see the movie THX-1138 for an illustration of how determined rebels in a socialistic totalitarian system are ultimately free because they can't really afford to enforce their authority only pretend to 
 also, anyone who has spent a decent amount of time in eastern europe will have heard stories and even directly experienced the culture of passive resistance that succeeds in stopping their bullshit 
 Absolutely, once the money they print to pay the jackboots to enforce their "laws" no longer buys anything, the jackboots go elsewhere. And the totalitarians are left exposed as the weak and pathetic people they are. 

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.

 tyranny is on the march 
 The strong do what they want and the weak suffer as they must.  
 Gigi do you know how tornado cash works?

 I'm curious what is automated vs dev operated? 
 I'm an enemy of the state. I'm a friend of the people. You can't be both. They made it that way. 
 "Land of the free home of the brave" is they what sing 
 I'm here, too. 💪

 Shit's getting crazy. They are truly scared we are bailing on fiat 
 This just highlights that Bitcoin is truly a weapon, but only against those in control.

They think we don't know what we're doing using these bottlecaps here in Tralla La, so they will just try to poison the well wherever they can. 
 Anyone that want to protect open-source developers from prosecutorial overreach should consider donating to @Open Source Justice Foundation (OSJF.org). 

Help grow the Developer Defense Fund.  
 Squeaky bum time for Boeing……. 
 Much like artificial intelligence that runs all the time and never turns off and or shuts up 
 Criminalização de opensource. Nerds que compartilham código fonte são bandidos terroristas a partir de agora.

 Anyone doing dev or hosting of nostr should consider whether their nearby government is liable to make a show trial of them building tools "that someone might use as part of a crime or act of free speech"

They won't go at you unless you got a lot of exposure for it most likely so it's not a reason to stop. For those who want to stay put, little fish, a good plan is to donate to a legal case to put this back in the box 
 so we all live in China now? They're not giving up without a fight. 
 all governments are liable to become totalitarian

just be aware you may get attention from them if you get famous, government is an oligopoly - they don't let you into the cartel unless you pay your dues, so it's only success that you have to be careful of... if you get too successful, consider moving and/or moving operations to a more discrete and less visible arena 
 They already go after gun manufacturers like this, so why not? 
 I hope the case can be taken to the next instance 
 Glad that I am outside of the US. There's not much freedom left, is it?

 Remington got a taste of this too. 
🤡🌏 
 Their key charge: developer left thing out of his control. Its all about CONTROL. 
 There are no laws, only power.  
 it seems that is our generation, our children's and subsequently our grandson's that will have to fought back, wage war, and die to reconquer the freedom that our parents and grandparents threw (and are still trowing) away 
 gee, creating a lab grown bioweapon might become illegal after all! 
 @Gigi put it best

 I can only assume this means the board of directors of the Federal Reserve are being sent to Guantanamo Bay? 
 Many are scratching their heads wondering why #Bitcoin isn't hit $100k just days after the halving?

Remember, market movements often defy even the most logical expectations, and patience is key in the crypto game!

 Flack is greatest over the target. As you were 🫡🙃 
 where is the legal defense fund? 
 I don't expect anything less from this Idiocracy

 😂 
 the point is to break their legs until they scream "mercy" and agree to tagging and tracing every one of their customers. either they throw their customers under the bus or they will be guilty of association 
 In that sense, they should ban all humanity because all of us can have kids and there's no guarantee that they don't become criminals in the future  
 Yup. It's pretty crazy.
