Yesterday's embarrassing verdict in the #TornadoCash case is a clear demonstration of what was predicted in the 1997 book "The Sovereign Individual".

It predicted the appearance of #bitcoin, the freedom it will give to people, governments' response & the outcome.

99% of these projects' newbie target audience don't understand that bitcoin's seemingly limited utility is a feature and not a bug.
3\ That's because their huge VC backed marketing teams carefully avoid pointing out that the advanced features they are promoting and the way these projects are funded and created imply strong centralization of both infrastructure and governance.
