I hope you are wrong, but I fear you are right. It was always unrealistic to think that the two evil cousins, fascism and communism, would not seek to bend Bitcoin to serve their agendas. *ɪ ᴅon'ᴛ warn oꜰ ᴛʜe ɪmmɪnenᴛ ꜰaᴛe oꜰ ʙɪᴛcoɪn ᴛo ʙecome an ɪnsᴛrumenᴛ oꜰ usɢ naᴛɪonaʟ securɪᴛʏ ᴘoʟɪcʏ ꜰor noᴛʜɪnɢ*

probably because you are not allowed to have rifles and night vision. they are nocturnal and crafty little buggers. i never even heard of ways to trap these little fuckers, best i can do is point at a fox hide my mother owns that her farmer friend shot with a rifle. no idea even how he did that all things considered, but then, i sat on the back of his ute one time and watched him put a bullet straight through the middle of the brow of a roo one time. that also sits in my mother's possession last i was there. two options: - build ridiculously strong fences against them (like, concrete walls over 5 feet tall - move somewhere you can get away with using NV gear and a light rifle to shoot those fuckers. have i missed anything?
