Fantastic article. Well worth the long read. It was expertly explained in an easy to understand form.

Floating about Trump as a little orange phantasm at the end was a little much, though, and detracted from the rest of the piece.

Use of Trump to evoke a penumbra of even greater doom seems a bit unsubstantiated unless you're going to list things he did as president to that lead you to believe he would act worse in regards to crypto and banking.

Fantastic analysis. Hope to see pirate wires on Capitol Hill soon. ESG x CBDC = social credit digital gulag. Here are the cringe receipts from SVB: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/svb-linkedin-receipts

One of the most disheartening and painful articles i've had to read in over 20 years. To see this kind of orchestrated conspiracy against one of the greatest innovations in technology this lifetime, is truly saddening. Nonetheless, absolutely remarkable insights, writing and sane conclusions. I will continue doing all I can in digital assets to keep the movement making incremental progress for the masses.

This is something I’ve been sensing for a long time—and as this is just finally coming to the surface now, I wonder what would be revealed by a Twitter files search for relevant censorship actions.

Do you have any plans to approach Twitter or the journalists involved in an effort to get access?

Nic excellent job- I did a year subscription just for this. This is the article I have waited for and I hope it gets traction. Nicely done and it says what a lot of us think based on our work in crypto. And when you see FinCen and others ignoring Binance and the things we see on the blockchain every day it really makes me pause and wonder why FTX, Binance and others who are clearly bad are left alone and US companies are hit constantly by overreaching regulatory agencies. Those who are paying attention see that many US crypto firms are at least trying to do the right thing and cope. Whereas, many offshore companies do whatever they want further challenging US businesses. Why do we insist on hammering US companies?

Great article, well researched, but does it mean anything? No significant Main Street media is talking about it. Congress isn’t really going to do anything about it. Federal and local DAs in CA and NY won’t look into it because of party affiliation. Lawsuits likely won’t help and won’t be allowed to progress.

So unless you can come up with a movement larger than Pirate Wire and figure out a way to rewrite this in a way the average person can understand and at the same time convince enough people that this is a big deal for them personally, the issue is going to die here.

There is no rule of law in the US at this point. Congressional hearings are dog and pony shows. The reason my husband and I never invested in crypto; it was clear even 5 years ago that the US government was going to come down hard on the industry at some point. The elites cannot have a free money exchange system that they don't control. Game over.
