Bitcoin is a Permissionless, Decentralized Firearm: Cody Wilson is Satoshi Nakamoto
The path to a cryptocurrency revolution might just run through a sleepy Austin, Texas industrial park, home to offices of Cody Wilson and his company, Defense Distributed in the United States. Parallels exist between downloadable files from a website, allowing users access to 3D printable firearms, and a permissionless, decentralized, censorship-resistant medium of exchange. If the worlds most powerful government succeeds in preventing Mr. Wilson from engaging in basic speech, hold on to your electronic wallet because it could be next.
Excuse me? You're drawing comparisons between someone who would essentially enable everyone in the world to print weapons that could kill their fellow men, and someone else who created a system of exchange so people can send money from one another without having to pay a middleman? There's no relevance here.
Sure, they're both permissionless, decentralized, censorship-resistant. But the ends to the means is more important. The purpose of bitcoin is not violent. It is strictly to exchange money. The purpose of printing your own firearms is violent. Even if it is for "self-defense".
