 Where are Bitcoin devs more likely to persecuted?

A) El Salvador the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender who are seeking to bring in 5000 experts; led by Bukele whose track record is locking up alleged gang members

B) United States who have the global reserve asset under threat from Bitcoin who imprisoned Ross Ulbricht for life, arrested Tornado Cash devs, arrested Samourai devs, arrested Roger Ver under extradition, have ordered all sorts of fund freezing, got SBF, got CZ; led by the Biden regime trying to criminalise and control Bitcoin and cryptocurrency generally, who don’t lock up gang members they just let them cross the border, who has funded proxy wars in Ukraine and Gaza killing hundreds of thousands

🤔

 El Salvador. No question. There are literally thousands and thousands of bitcoin devs in the United States, bitcoin park, commons, other work spaces. Meetups. Conferences, and so much more. 99.9% of them have had zero issues, and won’t.  There are exchanges, thousands of companies, bitcoin on balance sheets, etfs, banks are allowed to hold it, there are miners, and on and on…


Roger Ver is a jackhole, he apparently doesn’t know how us tax law works. 
It’s laughable if you think El Salvador would allow privacy devs or any  bitcoin devs break laws(just or not) to just chill and work there. And as if they wouldn’t instantly deport those without passports, or arrest tax invaders, and serve expedition of said people back to the us.

It’s laughable. Dude, they just used europol, Finnish, fbi, DoJ, and other local law enforcement. El Salvador would put up zero fight. Bukele is a dictator, who happens to see bitcoin as a way to gain wealth and or popularity for tourism. Smart man, but a dictator nonetheless.

 I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are blathering about?  What does any of that have to do with me answering OP question about which place is safer for bitcoin devices.

 Generally don’t lock up gang members? Since when it is the us federal governments jurisdiction or authority to do that? That’s a state, county, and local municipality issue. Mind you hundreds of thousands are locked up every year, lol. We have an insanely high detention rate amongst youth.
