this will continue until nation states ban self-custody and peer-to-peer transactions, at which point the cypherpunks will bloom again 100x and the fight will be more intense than ever in cypherpunk history.
the trick will be insuring that a sleeper contingent of true cypherpunks sticks around, lying in wait for that moment. the State will try to lull them into passivity and acceptance and it will be difficult to avoid getting caught in the spell. but this will also create a selection pressure: the deeply-convicted and the strongest, most secure hodlers will be all that are left -> exactly who we need at that moment.
we'll need to build through that ultra-"bear" - both software and spirit - like never before.
I have full confidence! 🏴
