If you're in Ukrainian Twitter, this🧵 is for you. If not, keep scrolling.

I'm @Ukraine_DAO dev pod lead, which means I'm around when technical discussions happen and get asked for opinions technical solutions.

I'm not a decision maker, nor spokesperson, a glorified tech monkey That said, I'm watching a lot of folks who have loyally soldiered and *saved lives* for Ukraine get lined up for a digital firing squad. We can talk about disinfo and political warfare another time, which this info attack certainly pertains to, but for now I'll help address Q's.

So hey, I'm going offline for an indeterminate amount of time. I'm headed down to Beaumont FCI, where Uncle Sam will be footing the bill for my room and board for the next 6 to 15 months for the crime of selling #Bitcoin a few years ago. You read that right. Did you know that transacting Bitcoin p2p is a federal crime punishable with up to five years imprisonment? I didn't either.

18 USC 1960, as interpreted by FinCEN back in the middle of 2019, says you must register federally to do so.
