Wonder what this means for totalitarian states. Currently China, North Korea and others make it too burdensome/dangerous to access certain sites. If a citizen has access to electricity and compute, they can get crypto, and with crypto could potentially (eventually) get cell to starlink? If it becomes easy and affordable enough (E.g. in 5-10 years), potentially become accessible to the masses.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoPeople in China who really want to connect to the common internet can already do so. It’s not extremely hard, but just enough barriers so not everyone is willing to jump through hoops. And also, locals don’t really have that much appetite for it.
