Ape Mithrandir on Nostr: A trillion dollar asset faces a court case that could collapse the primary use case ...
A trillion dollar asset faces a court case that could collapse the primary use case of said asset (self-custody and sovereignty), our boys thought the community would step up to the tune of the +$10m required to fight a court case like this. Instead they got $1m in donations and $2m in debt and had to call it quits.
This case was and is existential for Bitcoin. The fact that only one one-millionth of the monetary value of Bitcoin was put forth to defend itself from this attack was a travesty.
Think how much miners spend on electricity and machine depreciation every day and nobody could spare the money necessary to defend Bitcoin from the legal attack vector.
