The True Cost of Sovereignty: Diverter on Bitcoin Privacy & Samourai Wallet
“The government—especially in the United States, which is essentially the world government because they’ll come get you wherever you’re at—has already drawn their line in the sand: development on Bitcoin-privacy tools going forward will have to be done underground.”
— Diverter
