True decentralization consists of unofficial community of individuals worldwide.
As in, pre-KYC/AML localbitcoins. Over Tor, with feedback ratings. Or better yet, avoiding the internet and other forms of domestic espionage and meeting people through traditional face-to-face social contact away from cameras and analysis bots.

You sound salty. Poor thing.
Your moral compass sounds way off. Broken. Poor(er) thing.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Yet another day and another (barely) AYH ($9878 Stamp) followed by a sane correction... currently $9801USD/$13045CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Nice and smooth, slow and steady. Go bitcoin go. Sleep tight, at $11k we're going to hold a jonoiv-proudhon party. Don't forget the other classic trolls like Kwukduck, Fonzie, NLC, Jaroslaw/Walsoraj, Matthecat, etc. They're like the comics section in an old-fashioned newspaper. Good for a small laugh every day. All those trolls are in my ignore list to this day, with kwukduck at the top. Back then I used to think these people were getting paid to troll. And now at this point I'm somewhat convinced these russian/chinese troll farms that are used to sway social media got their start in the Bitcoin community. Sort of a proving ground that sowing discord can have real world effects. "Ok newbie welcome to trollcorp, now go cut your teeth on those new fangled Bitcoiners and all their joy and exuberance". Its actually a credit to all of you who kept this thread going and active that you have turned it into what it is today, where the negative troll effect is effectively zero.

Since when do you need to login to browse reddit? They for a while have been aggressively pushing for using the app, but could still be ignored. Desperate to track and profile its users it seems. Bye Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/

Bye Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinNo login required here. Old style computer and browser. Maybe it's a mobile thing only? EDIT @Phil_S I like old.reddit.com better anyway Neither old or new require me to login atm.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/more-400-million-people-lockdown-guangzhou-joins-quarantine"Guangzhou, the capital of China's southwestern Guangdong Province and the country's fifth largest city with nearly 15 million residents, has just joined the ranks of cities imposing a mandatory lockdown on all citizens, effectively trapping residents inside their homes, with only limited permission to venture into the outside world to buy essential supplies. That's more than 400 million people forcibly locked inside their homes for 638 deaths? Just think about that: If there was ever a reason to believe that Beijing is lying about the numbers (and not just because Tencent accidentally leaked the real data), this is it." I am giving this a 10% chance of bringing down the Chinese government.

In my opinion it is this:
It is one thing to find an alternative protocol to Bitcoin interesting, or believe in it as an investment.
I don't agree with this view, but people have the right to make choices, even if they ultimately prove to be wrong. Live and let live.
However, going so far as refusing to condemn the objectively indefensible, places someone beyond the possibility of respect. A fellow traveler ceases to be a friend, which is a shame.
Craig Wright's lack of principles and honesty is objectively indefensible. This has been proven in a court of law. He has lied under oath; it is not unreasonable to conclude he lives a tissue of lies.
When any man is obviously of sound mind and intelligent, but still disregards the obvious and will not condemn this plainly malignant, transparent liar, one can only conclude he is either; as corrupt as the man he defends, too egotistical, or too weak and foolish to look in the mirror and admit that he might be wrong.
And again, you conflate my support of BSV with support of CSW. Just no. Dashjr has stated it is legitimate to kill all non-xtians. Does that taint all of BTC? No. For the person and the coin are two different things. Do you think TRX and Justin Sun are two different things? Do you think TRX is not tainted by Justin? If you believe that, then I have some TRX to sell you. There are plenty of reasons to completely ignore TRX. So I do. Irrelevant false equivalence is irrelevant. “I don’t like your question because I can’t answer it truthfully without revealing my corruption so I am going to pretend that I am above answering it”. Have you considered running for office? Don’t be a pussy. Answer the question. Yes or No. I answered the question. TRX is irrelevant to me. I can't be bothered to spend the time to look into it. Perhaps you have infinite amounts of free time on your hands. I do not. Don’t pretend ignorance of Justin Sun and TRX - it’s completely transparent You always run away from hard questions. Stop being a pussy and answer the question. Can Justin Sun be separated from TRX. Yes or No.

I suspect the government could just kill half of them, burn the bodies and bury the ashes in some desert pit - and still not stumble.

A year since a post on there. Not even some tats or a flash of minge can tempt people to let go of their BTC. This does not bode well for future birth rates.
