This whole "let the lobbyists do their thing, they know more than you" thing is bullshit

It's about principles, and translating those principles into action

If someone refuses to explain their principles to you so you can have a discussion, they are not acting in good faith
Many people involved in Crypto have strong principles, and those principles are clear:
- censorship is against the point of blockchains
- privacy is a human right
- freedom to transact and own assets without fear of confiscation
- we should work to increase freedom with Crypto
You are not going to get a concession from the government if you compromise on your principles just a little bit

They're like sharks, they smell weakness and feast when blood is in the water

The only thing that wins is a strong and principled stance, followed by a hard fight
Choose your principles, share them, develop solutions that increase the resistance of Crypto to regulatory capture, and continue educating people in power of how these properties enhance freedom and human rights

Don't accept compromises for the sake of cheap concession
Remember that you're on the right side, and no congressperson or regulator can take that away from you

Don't listen to voices who refuse to do their part and learn how these systems truly work, and what principles back them

Build towards a more free society
