How cypherpunk of @Luke Dashjr to threaten that the State will take legal action against anyone who runs core or libbitcoin.

both sides have devolved into madness tbh
what matters is who put's shit on the blockchain, and who don't, simple..
It's insane and ridiculous.
Libbitcoin is the only solution for me.
Can’t tell if real or troll. Classic Gsov poast
Not sure if poast is on purpose, but will adopt this spelling from now one

Except I didn't
If the state says something is illegal, is it ever moral to ignore their law and do it anyhow?
Obviously. Like gun restrictions.
I think we all agree that bitcoin is a massive benefit to humanity and a key to reducing suffering in the world. So, if a government says running a bitcoin node is illegal because there is data they deem illegal stored on it, isn’t it moral for those citizens to just ignore that and to continue to run a bitcoin node? Or should we all stop running those nodes because a bad actor simply included something “illegal” and we don’t want to violate a law?
wrong
allowing data to be stored on chain is not a benefit to humanity
Was something broken before they changed the op_return? I guess my question is, why fix what wasn't broken? Bitcoin was doing fine before, no?
Depends on how much time and money you have to fight a prosecution and would you be able to win?
Did you consider that the state which is losing the monopoly on money might attack for the purpose of harming Bitcoin. Do you think they could do it in a way that would make the value of Bitcoin drop dramatically?
