"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers"
Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged has been prophetic in many ways. Considering how bureaucracy, responsibility avoidance, communism, equality and anti wealth and innovation the world has become, I would say Atlas Shrugged predicted the world better than 1984. I have written about Ayn Rand many times before. After I learned more about the bogus charges on Roger Ver, I had to write about this. @thedessertlinux is the one I got the news about 109 year prison sentence.
Centralized socail media and shadow banning goes hand in hand. Even X is more than capable of shadow banning and censorship. Elon Musk is not a free speech absolutist as he claims to be. The only real solution is decentralized social media. Even these interviews have a non zero chance of being taken off the internet. Getting more individuals educated on what is actually going on with the world is the first step. For those who are unwilling to sit through the long discussion, there is the Charlie Kirk interview that does leave out some of the most important details about Hijacking Bitcoin.
The above details are sourced from the official Free Roger Ver Campaign website. I recommend giving the website a look and see what you can do to support one of the pioneers that worked to make cryptocurrency into a reality. Roger Ver is a modern day prophet living upto his Bitcoin Jesus moniker. I would say Roger is more of a Crypto Jesus as he is not a maximalist and support many great cryptocurrency projects including privacy coins.
@atma.love introduced me to Zano and it turns out Roger Ver is a fan and a likely investor. He was invested in Dash few years ago. I don't know about the current state of his portfolio.
Zano has been around for over 5 years. Most cryptocurrency projects do not survive a bear market. Seeing a project go through a bear market and thrive is an amazing sight and I am very happy to see Zano succeed. Projects like Zano are crucial to protect privacy in a world increasingly taken over by the surveillance industrial complex.
I saw the censorship and the cultist behavior of certain groups during 2017 and beyond. One of the most effective ways to destroy a project is infiltrating it and transforming it into something else. Lightning Network is a hassle to use in a decentralized way and BTC has become another part of the traditional finance system.
See if you have experienced what is described above by The Hated One in the videos you watch. Similar things happened with Bitcoin that made it pivot away from serving everyday people using it for everyday payments. Volatility of cryptocurrency is does make it a subpar choice for payments. Decentralized stablecoins can fix this issue as long as the fees are low or non existent.
