Roman Storm is a software developer. He created a software called Tornado Cash. This program protects the privacy of our cryptocurrency transactions. But now the government has arrested him, because some bad people used the software he created. My question is, is this the result of the work of a developer? Protecting privacy is a very common thing in the cryptocurrency world. Because it is part of the basic principles of cryptocurrency. Because of this privacy protection, blockchain technology is now decentralized.

I think this case is not against Roman Storm, but against the entire cryptocurrency community. If someone is punished for protecting privacy, it will mean that the government thinks that financial privacy or decentralized systems are not rights but crimes. Is this realistic?

And if a developer is punished for protecting privacy, then after this incident, other developers will be afraid to work on their creative ideas. Our future generations will be threatened. If we are on the verge of world development and we find ourselves in such a situation, then our future generations will be really threatened.

In my opinion, the job of a developer is to create software. Not to even look at what kind of people are using the software. Here is a small example: Who do you blame for a road accident, the driver or the car company? If you blame the driver here, why is there a different decision in the case of Roman Storm?

So I think the case is not only against Roman Storm, but against all of us. Because this one case will determine whether there will be privacy in the world of cryptocurrency. Will we hand over privacy to the world of cryptocurrency if the government wants us to? We all have to stand by Roman Storm. In this, not only Roman Storm, but everyone in the world of cryptocurrency will win.
