Nullian coredump, Part 1/2.  h/t johhnyUA for a link to an article dated 12 November 2020.

Red alert:  Imminent plans for a mining pool with transaction blacklisting, based on blockchain analysis and, of course, the Diktat of the American world-police OFAC.

The gist of my intended Part 2/2 has been preëmpted by someone else much more succinctly, in a post that I will leave untranslated so that I can avoid being suddenly ignore-listed by both Jay and CT—and pretty much everybody else on WO, except (ironically) marcus.

Merits to the man who had the moral courage to say this publicly, amidst 🚀🤩🤩🤩🌙🤩🤩🤩🚀:
Проблемка только одна. Туземун идет уже сейчас, как на фонде так и в крипте. Коронавирусный фон может только повлиять на его амплитуду и продолжительность, а так то это уже свершившийся факт. Притом, лично я пока против вхождения широких мас крестьян кривозубых. Если войдет сразу орда кугутов (ну я, криптан элитарий так их воспринимаю), то кугуты будут далеко не против регуляций, анального огораживания, налогов под 50 % под видом защиты от злобных хакеров и прочий тотальный контроль.

Это как с Римом - когда критическая масса варваров начала жить в Римской Империи, то Империя и превратилась в бантустан. Есть даже термин "варваризация". И в случае крипты это будет именно что варваризация. Такое мне не надо. Лучше бит по 3к  Smiley

Honest and admirable.  Freedom and privacy—principles over greed—and an historical perspective, too.

I have been avoiding this, but I do need to say it publicly sometime.  For the record.

I fear that Bitcoin may be a victim of its own success.  I try to avoid saying this too explicitly in public, so as to avoid FUDding Bitcoin and discouraging the HODLers; but it has been implied in some of my Wall Observer posts in various contexts pertaining to regulation generally (privacy and otherwise).

If we “moon” and get big institutional money onboard, then greed will prevent people from resisting regulatory strangulation of Bitcoin’s freedom—[...]

If I could have Bitcoin keep its freedom and be worth exactly what I bought it for—no more, no less, forever—then I would be much happier than I will be to see my modest stash “moon” as I lose my tiny little sliver of financial freedom.


I think nullius' posts are a category of their own and maybe Serious Discussion > Ivory Tower > Nullius' Dungeon might be a solution to avoid having his posts deleted from the WO in the future. Cool
Thanks.  Quotable. ;-)
