Yesterday I saw “Nobody Wants to Talk About Jacob Appelbaum” In it, I learned how COINTELPRO was used to destroy a community of cypherpunks You can’t unsee it https://bafybeiabzsvhyoixjloy7bd5fxbqtxq6flzk7h4ftxbiejrfi7lrnmetxu.ipfs.w3s.link/nobody-wants-to-talk-about-jacob-appelbaum.mov

There is something deeply captivating about censorship-resistant systems and rulesets that transcend any given set of people in power I hope that in the coming years, more projects lean into the cypherpunk ethos and that Ethereum becomes a beacon again for the movement

"Then we got this Web 2.0 -- a gold rush to commercialize the internet. To exchange a creative and cooperative space for a commercial and competitive space. One that was centralized around silos run by giant corporations that gave the appearance of ownership without the *fact* of ownership." Let's fix this 💪

Roman Storm is not a criminal—he’s a talented software developer who built Tornado Cash to make financial privacy accessible for all. Privacy isn’t a crime. Yesterday’s Fifth Circuit ruling against OFAC’s sanctions on Tornado Cash proves that this prosecution is deeply flawed and sets a dangerous precedent for innovation. If we allow developers to be punished for creating tools that empower freedom, we risk chilling innovation and undermining the values of a free society. Support Roman’s defense and stand up for privacy, open-source development, and the future of permissionless innovation.

It would be nuts if this ends up being a battle about VPNs > Despite this ban, Americans can trade on the platform though virtual private networks, or VPNs, which can be used to circumvent that prohibition. CoinDesk confirmed at least two Americans were able to place trades ahead of the 2024 election from locations in the U.S. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/11/13/fbi-reportedly-raids-polymarket-ceos-home/
