If I'm not mistaken, the top of that pyramid is roughly 200 meters above sea level, so basically we're talking about this, give or take...

Sad fact:

"Prins Bernhard" a member of the unnecessary 'Dutch royal🤢 family" owns over 600 buildings (houses and corp) in the Netherlands

He is one of the fckers who drive up prices to earn as much as he can while many people struggle to find a living space

Leech much? 👑🇳🇱

These people. First they're like "we need to reduce the population", and then when someone starts ACTUALLY reducing the population, they're running around sobbing, waving flags and standing in the road.

In case of any doubt, I'm 100% pro-human and I'm against every war (even the one that hasn't started yet) but if these people are going to be anti-human, can they at least have some consistency?

I remember the fire chief in the (small) town I grew up in had ONE bumper sticker on his truck that just said "I love my wife."

Back then I didn't really get it, but now being happily married I can see he was just flexing - and I kind of want one myself.

Ok so they're writing sanctions on China, but they're not planning to use them.

So basically they're just going to throw them in a filing cabinet so they can pull them out real quick if needed, like they did with ... The Patriot Act.

Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin privacy service, has been shut down and its founders arrested! 😱

A Bitcoin-only noncustodial CoinJoin service, Samourai gave users privacy by allowing them to coordinate with other users to mix their funds to break the transaction graph.

To the best of my knowledge (obviously I don't know all the details), they did nothing wrong! Simply operating a privacy protocol that allows users to strengthen their own privacy should not be a crime!

This continues to set the horrible precedent that the Tornado Cash arrests began, criminalizing the development of open-source software.

Is all privacy in crypto now under legal threat? 😬

I don't think so. But the fact that I don't know for sure anymore is concerning.

Taking a step back, though, let's look at some of the things focused on in this case to see if we can find a common thread. Remember, many privacy protocols, including the Zcash team, has not fallen victim to anything like this (yet).

According to the DOJ, Samourai:

🕵️Was a company-like entity (profited)
🕵️Explicitly provided services for privacy
🕵️Operated infrastructure directly
🕵️Openly advertised to criminals
🕵️Had criminal activity traced to the service (including sanctions evasion, which the US war machine particularly doesn't like)
🕵️Evidence founders knew about this

Judging from the Tornado Cash case, as well as the SEC going after Uniswap, it seems like the "It's noncustodial and open-source" loophole doesn't work anymore:

If you operate like a company, run infra/front-ends like a company, take profit like a company, you probably will get targeted!

Of course, the sad part in all this is, we don't actually know how for sure how to develop crypto while staying out of jail! This is just speculation (and definitely not legal advice, before someone comes at me).

We should be able to develop privacy tools without fear of prison. But that's not the reality of 2024.

In the meantime, probably the best route is to bake privacy directly into the protocol, without segregated third-party apps or smart contracts run by teams who can be explicitly targeted and accused of laundering.

Privacy by default is the way!

If the core protocol inherently lets users be private, and it has many legitimate uses, it's much harder to make the case for laundering or anything criminal by the developers.

But just in case, open-source privacy devs should probably stay outside of the US and western Europe, and stay as anonymous as possible.

We're building the free financial system of the future. We are doing nothing wrong, but this is inherently a threat to the powers that be! We can try to make sure we stay fully legally-compliant. But we're never going to be 100% sure.

Sad day. Free

Everybody wants to find something secretly wrong with this guy, but the only really relevant question is whether he's making life better for the average Argentinian, and so far it seems like he is.

But on the other side, I'm not going to cheerlead every accomplishment that he makes. I just expect him to keep on delivering.
