How long until they start censoring transactions based on KYC, AML, CFT or even political policies?
If this happens, then congratulations to us, we have helped create a different kind of repressive tool.
Unfortunately, too many are driven by greed and not by necessity or conviction. I realized this by observing the reactions in the Bitcoin world at the end of December when the MiCA rules were implemented in the EU. Bitcoin heroes, acclaimed here on Nostr and in all circles, rushed to open branches in the EU and knelt before EU apparatchiks, becoming tools of tyrants themselves. All for the sake of profit, abandoning the fundamental principles of Bitcoin moral.
This is not a rant, but just a simple observation.

quoting nevent1q…m0xhThe fact that miners are accepting or rejecting Bitcoin transactions for arbitrary reasons shows that layer 0 is very weak.
