Do you really believe that alternative attacks won't get used by an exasperated opponent?


Imagine a group of "concerned nation states" collaborate on issuing an international arrest warrant for the Bitcoin devs for "conspiracy to launder money", or "conspiracy to fund terrorist organisations"? How long do you think that would take to draw up, in the event, 6 months?

What are you going to say if that happens? "No-onnnnnnne could possssssssibly have predicted that!" Again, except me, apparently.


This ceased to be a computing problem a long time ago, we wouldn't be in this situation if solving computing problems was all we needed to overcome this situation. The $ 5 wrench is poised to get cracked over Bitcoin's soft head, and the inability to take in this particular big picture could be the difference between a deft sidestep and the absolute end of the Bitcoin project.


If we sit on our hands taking the moral high ground, predators will predate. Are you understanding what I'm saying to you, or what?
