One of the most valid criticisms of Bitcoin is that it reduces the ability of the Unite States to sanction enemies of the West
Oh please give me a break

There is no East or West, they are all political puppet controlled by small group of people, and we should all be aware of that after things that happened in last few years and decades.
Military industrial complex machinery is running full steam and I only see paid people putting more gasoline on this wild fire.
Bitcoin can be used by anyone without limits, and sanctions are not doing anything btw, they made much more damage to the ''West''.
All this circus reminds me a lot on George Orwell's book (and movies) 1984, with Oceania ''fighting'' Eurasia, and in reality few rich lunatics are in war with majority of regular people.
