I've been thinking about it deeply since the beginning of this year. I agree, the regulatory capture is the biggest threat to Bitcoin. Or in the long run it's the main drag. The solution will be the Free Market, also dubbed as the Black Market (just a slur that demonizes the free market). All Bitcoin Layer 2's are the equivalent of Monero or close to it. We have to grow these networks as fast as possible. Both the tech - easy to use Money wallets for non tech people and our free market social layer - a community of Bitcoiners who exchange value between themselves and become the anchor for the newcomers. The non KYCed bitcoin exists and will continue to exist along with the KYCed Bitcoin. It's like cash in a bank vs paper cash. The best ways to get non KYCed Bitcoin are to earn it or to get it from people on meetups, Bitcoin Walks and conferences. Another solution that is also popular in the fiat world is structuring. Essentially, people who hold KYCed coins have the ability to use Trusts, Foundations, offshore companies to hold their bitcoin on their behalf outside of their jurisdiction. It is legal, it just costs money and time to establish such structures. That's how fully KYCed fiat is being hidden away as well. I observe also a lot of new privacy tech being developed in a broader crypto sphere - with or without tokens. Tokens themselves don't matter much. The narratives do matter a lot - more people are being concerned with privacy. The consumers demand it, the devs build it and ship it. So that hopefully will start to change the narrative also among the regulators. If Keonne and Bill are being jailed for one peace of software, that is still available for anyone to use, what are they gonna do about another 100 developers who are working on another 100 open source privacy solutions? Arrests will not stop demand or adoption. Even if they jail everyone, the tech is out there already. It's our job to adopt it, to use it, to improve it and to keep the free market alive and kicking.

I signed a petition yesterday. I never signed petitions before, because I don't believe petitions often achieve their stated goals. But I did it anyway, because I wanted to see the number on the signatory list to go up. I wanted the number of supporters of privacy to go up. So I signed it and the number went up by one. And then I sat there for half an hour watching the number go up every few seconds. And then it dawned on me that petitions like that achieve a different goal. They show support to me and to us. It's me who is seeing the number of supporters of Privacy growing and it gives me comfort. It reminds me that I am not alone in this world. That I'm not the only sane person that thinks Privacy is a norm, not an exception. I'm not the only sane person that sees Keonne and Bill are being unjustly jailed. They didn't break any existing law. There was no discovery of facts before jury. There were no victims presented to the court. There was no court of justice. There was a system established in such a way, that no due process is needed anymore to put someone in jail. Two people will be sitting in a cage, just because someone wanted them in a cage. I think it's wrong. I like that more people are saying out loud - "Hey, it's wrong!". I like this number go up. If you also like seeing this number go up, then you can make it go up by at least one: https://c.org/qms8nYRsX8
