This of course means that the primary use case of Bitcoin, sanctions' evasion, is no longer secure.

It becomes clearer and cleared that Lutnick and Trump are actually the deep state and the big boys mean it. Further crackdowns on China and Russia are coming and it does not look good for Bitcoin.

But by all means, cite AI nonsense as a favor to fellow founders to pump up their valuations.
