I don't know who needs to hear this, but North Korea is your enemy. They hate what you love. You should want them destroyed. Every loss of theirs is your win.
Blockchain has real enemies, and among them North Korea is the final boss. To prostrate yourself before them, to defend their right to keep attacking you, is the height of self-hatred.
Decentralization is not a suicide pact. It's the opposite: it lets us agree on shared values and enforce them collectively. It means we have no higher power to answer to than each other, and no one can stop our collective will.
So here's a value we should all agree on:
Fuck North Korea. They don't get to win.
We do.
FYI, this is a validity violation, not a decentralization violation. They say governance will vote on what to do about the cordoned off assets. In principle, governance could vote to let DPRK bridge out.
It's possible (in fact, core to the value proposition of crypto) for a large set of people to agree to do something that a plurality want to do.
