> backed by governments and law aka violence. its eerie to slowly see the emerging threats over the past couple of years from people who have put their faith in the governments and law, which is understandable as it brings them security and comfort. but there are many many people in the world who never had that security from their government and law, because they were born in the wrong place, or with the wrong desires. I'm increasingly seeing people appealing to authorities re:crypto - "it needs to be outlawed", "they are morally wrong", "Stop them". People in the 1880s feared the mass production of clocks. It wont solve everything, of course it wont, but we can work together, without borders, with these trustless systems. That underlying math is pretty great. Those who like the sound of that can opt it and participate. If you dont want to thats ok too. (for the last point, most of us in the world are not in the US. and a lot of people working in crypto dont ever have any expectation of protection from the people at the top, nor do we want it. isnt that the point of "land of the free"?)
