A lot of people here commenting on how Barr won't care/etc. I don't see that as the point for this discussion. In my view; If "we"[1] are to win, these types of information sharing/etc posts are essential. As commenters have pointed out, Barr won't care about this logic. In fact, there is no logic that Barr and his ilk will care about. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of people who simply have no idea. They are not uncaring or malicious, crypto is a complex topic and they're not computer people. Barr and his group will (and have!) spin crypto to be something terrorists and pedophiles solely use to get away with evil. We need to have equal, if not greater, "counter spin" to at least combat the propaganda. Call it educating the public or call it propaganda, it doesn't matter. We may not win if we publish articles like this, but we will certainly lose if "we" are the only ones that care about this topic. When the game is played on such a large scale we can't depend on people being informed, we need to bring people information. I don't intend to discuss how effective information on this subject will be to the "common" person; but I think we need to try. Lest we lose crypto with thunderous applause.
