   @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini money, like violent force, is something states like to a monopoly over within their claimed territory

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini trying to subvert a state's control over its money supply is an existential threat to their power

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini they will fight like a cornered rat to prevent such subversion, as #TheSilkRoad and others found out

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero sure, that was the most important reason for throwing such massive resources at #TheSilkRoad (I doubt it)

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero I'm not saying those things are legal (obviously not) or good (matter of opinion either way).

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini but there are lots of platforms for illegal drugs etc that don't get the same level of investigation

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini I guess it was a bad example, since it's totally distracted from my original point. My bad

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero you're begging the question (no sensible person would believe that...)

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini but no, I don't think websites that use fiat (or credit cards) are so rigorously, or so publicly executed

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini I think there was a strategy to publicly associate #BitCoin with #TheSilkRoad and organised crime in general

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini then very publicly smash #TheSilkRoad, a warning shot to #BitCoin dissenters with sovereign citizen aspirations

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini similar to the way #MegaUpload was publicly smashed, a warning to shot to user-generated content hosting sites

     @deadsuperhero @bob @kaniini eg you don't see cell phone networks shut down, despite being used for all the same things as #TheSilkRoad

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero yes, people routinely use burner cell phone to do all those things and more, but not for #BitCoin, for cash.

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini Bryan is right, that sounds like a government whose selective law enforcement deserves no critical examination.

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero glad we got that cleared up. Care to comment on the trustworthiness of selective US law enforcement?

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero ah ok. #Newspeak sucks. How about we say "sovereign citizens" when that's what we're talking about?

     @bob @deadsuperhero @kaniini also, #FuckBrexit for the same reason. Why we are too lazy now to say "British exit from European Union'?

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero language pedantics aside, I respect people's right to question the state's claim of authority over them.

     @kaniini @bob @deadsuperhero your double negative has left me confused about what you are saying here, but either way, not the point I made.
