A good bitcoiner should defend defi on ethereum when the government attacks it on grounds of surveillance.
A good ethereumer should defend PoW on bitcoin when the government attacks it on grounds of energy use.
The war is money vs state. The latter is powerful. Do not squabble.
Wow. Strong move by @Cloudflare in its newly announced policy saying they will not exercise discretion to terminate security services to sites like the Daily Stormer going forward.
