of course that's what they want ... but fuck em, bitcoin is not playing by the fiat rules

This would mean they need to come for the lightning network. Because it is also a black box.

For sure. They want to have total control over #bitcoin Now when Wall Street is in it was to be expected.

They will do whatever they can to maintain control. What a terrible day. Decentralized tools are more important now then ever before. 🙏to those building privacy tools in this environment. God bless you all.

Absolutely 💯 the wankers / sorry bankers are pushing hard on governments to get a grip on regaining control of something they have ignored for years. Somethings happened and the gloves are off now. It’s not news to them , but it’s starting to rumble the footings.

I feel like privacy is being attacked from all sides. end-to-end encryption in the EU under #chatcontrol. US passed 702, Samourai... just stacking up.

Had to start sometime I guess

it’s not a conspiracy. the government needs to know stuff

Bingo

They want their cut

E.O. 6102 all over again?

the forks are near !

No doubt it’s what they want

Joinmarket and JAM are looking pretty good right now

Um.. ya think? 😂
