Καλημέρα σε όλους, ακόμη και σε κάτι κοινωνιοπαθείς (κοντά) σε κέντρα εξουσίας.
Before Bitcoin existed, the U.S. government decided that strong encryption was a weapon.
In 1991 a man named Phil Zimmermann wrote a program called PGP and gave it away for free, so ordinary people, not just governments and banks, could send a message no one else could read. Soon after it spread beyond U.S. borders, the Customs Service opened a criminal investigation. The charge they were chasing: exporting munitions without a license. The munition was math.
The investigation lasted three years. Zimmermann's answer was perfect. He published PGP's entire source code as a book through MIT Press, because the government can restrict exporting a weapon, but it cannot restrict exporting a book. Code is speech. In early 1996 they dropped the case without filing a single charge.
That fight is why Bitcoin can exist. The right to run cryptographic software you control, to hold a key the state cannot pry open, was won by people like Zimmermann years before Satoshi wrote a line of code.
Self-custody is just encryption applied to your money. Same math. Same right. Same fight.
Hold a key no government can open, and you are standing exactly where he stood.
