Bitcoin is a Permissionless, Decentralized Firearm: Cody Wilson is Satoshi Nakamoto
The path to a cryptocurrency revolution might just run through a sleepy Austin, Texas industrial park, home to offices of Cody Wilson and his company, Defense Distributed in the United States. Parallels exist between downloadable files from a website, allowing users access to 3D printable firearms, and a permissionless, decentralized, censorship-resistant medium of exchange. If the world’s most powerful government succeeds in preventing Mr. Wilson from engaging in basic speech, hold on to your electronic wallet because it could be next. 

I don't like politics into bitcoin, it doesnt combine for me.
To mix it with guns/violence/war its another level :P.
Bitcoin is permissionless, it is decentralized, lets focus on that, on technology not ideology.

The potential for e-commerce development: There are now a lot of businesses, companies, shops, allowing the use of bitcoin to pay bills that make the bitcoin market more and more hot.

Whenever a technology like Bitcoin or blockchain get related to politics it is bound to get a dirty reputation out of it. Whatever is happening with Cody Wilson and US government should not hamper the current market of Bitcoin or it's mass adoption. There will be people who will try to tarnish the reputation of BTC in every single step but we should be the one to promote it with a better image.

I categorically disagree with you - in order to even think that bitcoin is a "weapon" in any version, you need a lot more distribution of bitcoin in the world, to talk about some kind of conspiracy theory - it is necessary that many people are interested in Bitcoin, and not as at the moment.

Yes, we have to focus on the fact that bitcoin is permissionless and decentralized but we can't also ignore what the OP said. I was also surprised when I read the article and no one know if Cody Rutledge Wilson or Cody Miller was actually Satoshi or not. However, I believe the author of the article study the habit of Cody with what was said about Satoshi in the pass before he make his conclusion cause the author work for Roger Ver and Cody and Ver almost have the past.
Mind you, Ver, Gavin and Cody both run for an election. Therefore, Ver and Gavin know who Satoshi really is and there's possibility that what the author said was truth.

How do you arrive at Bitcoin being a firearm from the fact that a website want to allow users access to 3D printable firearms.
This does not follow, bitcoin is clearly not a firearm.

Bitcoin definitely have a lot of utilization of it just like fiat currencies can be used for smuggling and charity for the same time. It's us to decide which one we should promote or try to show the next generation so that they can learn from it.

Without joining words with you,your statement above can best be described as nothing but a political vendetta, and its quite unfortunate that here is not a platform for politics but a driving force for a technology that will change the world to a better heaven

Excuse me? You're drawing comparisons between someone who would essentially enable everyone in the world to print weapons that could kill their fellow men, and someone else who created a system of exchange so people can send money from one another without having to pay a middleman? There's no relevance here.

Sure, they're both permissionless, decentralized, censorship-resistant. But the ends to the means is more important. The purpose of bitcoin is not violent. It is strictly to exchange money. The purpose of printing your own firearms is violent. Even if it is for "self-defense".

It seems to me you like action films and movies with murder, if you compare bitcoin ))) made me Laugh. Bitcoin is really an interesting coin, it is a pioneer, everyone is guided by it. That's me, besides all the other advantages. Blockchain is Windows for bitcoin, and they have a future.

I think that bitcoin is such a thing that will relieve us from the affection of government and politics so it's more like rebellious system which will give a freedom of finances to those who will use it.

Bitcoin are more potential and it will do something good in future. many shop or firm are accept this and it has many field to investment. it more and more hot for business. i think it is more profitable and secure for business.

OP, Cody Wilson's case can go up the US Supreme Court if his lawyers know what they are doing. Larry Flynt won his case on free speech by calling on the First Amendment. I don't know if their cases can be considered the same, but the US, as a country, was built on free speech, the right to bear arms, etc to protect its citizens and prevent their government to become like their English masters before the Revolutionary War. I can't believe that will ever change anytime.

And that's the reason why bitcoin will survive, in my opinion because as the medium of exchange bitcoin can be also used as a currency to present the new alternative and secured payment method.

Bitcoin is now involved in many other sectors. i think is a good sign. Now transaction with bitcoin are increasing more. that make the bitcoin market more popular

Bitcoin are getting popular day by day. Many well known company are now accept bitcoin for transaction. this is good news for crypto currency market.

Permissionless is bullshit, how many warehouses of ASICS , Do you Have?


Decentralized is bullshit, Chinese Miners have over 51% majority.


Censorship-resistant,  for the moment, unless you piss off the Chinese Miners.  :D


Should Cody Wilson be allowed to Place plans on how to build a 3d gun on the internet, Hell Yeah!
(But be aware the US has not been a free country since the corrupt bastards enacted the Income Tax System in 1913.)
(Any country where the TSA will molest your children & wife & you at an airport can hardly be called a free country.)

Anyone can do their stuff in the internet and don't pay for their crimes no one would care, But if the government would sure authorize an illegal remarks regarding this, It will surely be illegal, I don't really want bitcoin to be lump on a violent stuff I really think we should not do that, Satoshi created bitcoin not to do this kind of stuff, I really think he only intend to make a fast transaction base solely on blockchain, Cody Wilson is not satoshi, don't lump that guy to a genius.

The only similarity between Satoshi and Cody Wilson is that they both did something that pissed off the government. You are

not allowed to "print" your own private money and you are not allowed to "print" a functional weapon in the USA. The

difference is, nobody knows who Satoshi is and they cannot charge a pseudonym for a crime, if they have no "criminal" to

prosecute.  ;D

BTC is not involved in politics in any sort of way. They are operated on two different scales and mediums and are not dependent.

Politics and BTC are two different things and it will be better to not to mix them because they are two separate tangents.

I don't even want to think that bitcoin will be used to crime related products. If that happens, we are doomed! We don't realize how powerful can bitcoin be. I'd rather keep it the way it is.

But what does that make Bitcoin Cash then? Because their community calls it the "real Bitcoin", and also believes that all full nodes should be controlled, and centralized towards the miners, discouraging users from running their own.

We have to accept that, Bitcoin allows us to trade over the limit of the flat. The advantage is that it helps us to trade quickly, conveniently, and securely. But the downside is that everyone knows, it is a favorable condition for criminals to commit criminal offenses.

When did chinese miners do anything with this 51%? Oh wait never.

Decentralized means they don't have the opportunity to make a successful 51% attack, not that they have Yet to use it.



In the above aspects , both bitcoins are exactly the same.

Haha no. The Bitcoin community is much stronger, and does not bow to the miners like what the UASF and the NO2X movements have shown. While Bitcoin Cash only follows what Jihan Wu and his cartel want.

Zin-Zing, I believe I made a mistake when I said that Bitcoin Cash's community only follows Jihan Wu and his cartel. Cobra has emerged, and has declared a User Activated NO Fork. Hahaha.

Good luck to all of you, and I expect for it to be successful. 8)

I don't see arms as something that should benefit decentralized systems based on blockchain. We can focus and do lot of good thanks to this, let's not discuss weapons...

Bitcoin adopt blockchain technology that's why this technology help bitcoin to being decentrlized and it is a digital currency that's why it's permissionless. It's unique for it's technology.

It is to some extant. But I think that it adds specific charm and magnetism to it, doesn't it?
