I just find it hilarious that people throw out their ideals when it comes to money.
If you guys are as shortsighted as "yeah make bitcoin legal I don't care if zero privacy" then I'm not sure what you gain aside from avoiding the fed printer in a volatile asset. Though I suppose a formal framework for private currencies could be a good thing.
Did you watch the video? I highly recommend it
I don't know what these "ideals" mean to you, but there are many crypto people who moved to places like Asia or Dubai because they do not agree with their governments
Bitcoin and cryptos are decentralized. Bitcoin is pseudonymous. Since 2013 when I got in, it has always been, you use Bitcoin responsibly
Be aware of your KYC Bitcoins and use them as such. If you want to use Bitcoin with privacy such as a pr0nhub subscription, use your non-KYC Bitcoins
Let's be clear, you or I or anyone, even Satoshi himself, cannot control how Bitcoin is used. It's the nature of decentralized, p2p, immutable, censorship-resistant nature
So, if your "ideals" mean you want to prevent a Goldman Sachs client from buying Bitcoin, nope, can't do it.
If your "ideals" don't agree that a 16 yo should own Bitcoin or cryptos, nope, you can't stop a self-taught solidity developer kid from becoming a multi-millionaire
If your "ideals" don't agree that Russians can own Bitcoin and cryptos, nope, not up to you. How about North Koreans? or Chinese? or someone in Palestine? nope, your ideals can't stop it
If your "ideals" want to be anonymous, then you can convert your wealth to Bitcoin and cryptos, renounce your US citizenship (if you're US-based or any 1st world country citizenship) and escape to a country that has less technology infrastructure and change your name and start a new life. I read there are some Bitcoin/crypto people in Cambodia/Thailand/Laos region
