Seeing crypto projects continue to host events in Dubai is a strange phenomenon. Either it’s due to ignorance or outright malice, but it makes a clear statement that there are some groups of people they don’t want involved in the project given if said people were to show up, they’d be executed/imprisoned.

Not just crypto, burning man people (all of them cis) have told me for years how 'it's not that bad there, you should just go' as they're using VPN's to get around state censorship.

Pure stockholm syndrome.

They can bury me deep, but I always grow back.

Yeah, usually some well meaning guy saying “if all your paperwork is in order you’ll be fine”. Dude they dig through social media and the NY Post has written about me, I will not be fine, I will be dead.
