Samourai Wallet, a Bitcoin privacy service, has been shut down and its founders arrested! 😱
A Bitcoin-only noncustodial CoinJoin service, Samourai gave users privacy by allowing them to coordinate with other users to mix their funds to break the transaction graph.

This travesty of justice in the Dutch courts shows that the crypto crackdown is indeed global.
As a recap, Tornado Cash is a smart contract on Ethereum which

The EU just enacted some pretty Orwellian anti-privacy laws regarding cash and crypto.
Make no mistake, this is very bad!
But it's not (yet) as doomsday as many people have been saying, and there are some silver linings.

Bitcoin is becoming owned, and controlled, by institutions. 🏦
Not sure if you saw the news, but VanEck pledged to donate 5% of potential Bitcoin ETF profits to Bitcoin Core development.

A friend (small business owner) who has accepted Bitcoin for payments for many years now just paid an $882 transaction fee! 😱
Even waited for Christmas day when the network wouldn't be as busy so as to save on fees. So it could have been worse!

Bitcoin's real scaling solution isn't turning out to be the Lightning Network. It's Litecoin.
Not a shill, just reporting facts.
Of course I have long-term scaling and development concerns, but let's face it: Litecoin is Bitcoin's payment arm for now.
