And why would they rugpull their own creation?
  • They're the largest holder of coins
  • Have full graph intelligence to monitor nation-state scale activity on a transparent ledger
  • C&C / SIGINT over most computers/servers/devices used to transact
  • US rates of ownership maintain its financial hegemony through dollar deprecation
Bukele cooperating with US intelligence over terrorist cells since Trump v1, only to build a prison vastly disproportionate to its economic scale/population a few years later, then tipping the spear with Bitcoinization only for the US to follow-on with both under nationalist pre-texts, is a coincidence only if you're retarded enough to believe in coincidences of that scale.
Trust the plan.

Letting anyone run a node in the network is a small concession for having these kind of monitoring capabilities.

Indeed, and the purely technical nature of it removes the need for a lot of human assets in command and control scenarios.

Bitcoin is code, I don't care who invented it if I can check, compile and run it myself. There are confidential L2s. NSA can be spying on us all, but one has to become a person of interest to warrant their detailed attention. I run my own infrastructure to transact. Living with a tinfoil hat on is unhealthy.

I didn't say it was a bad thing, I simply enjoy calling out hipsters that are only into Bitcoin because they're hipsters.
