@electro1 @ISOmorph imagine your enemy has infinite money, manpower, and resources to turn against you.
why would the DoD give away a weapon like TOR?
why would satoshi release bitcoin at 51% difficulty?
why would Putin allow for the grotesque corruption of the oligarch state?
because they have the other half.
@electro1
The DoD controls a non trivial number of TOR nodes, allowing them to monitor all the traffic
Putin owns half of the oligarchy in Russia personally
The inventor of bitcoin mined the first 51% of them and has all that money to himself.
Unassailable positions of power don’t need to be fair.
