    Scrubbing his profiles is highly weird. I wonder if this has anything to do with shadow libraries.

    We now have the next ball for 1984 Newspeak bingo. The ball is “unperson.”

    The previous balls were doublethink and memory hole. Let us know when you get bingo.

      Note: Anyone who yells “bingo” has revealed that they know a suspicious amount about subversive activities and should be reported to the authorities immediately.

    He has also co-authored scores of academic papers on a diverse range of research fields, including cryptography, systems security, and data privacy, including the protection of human genomic data.

    I want to dream that it was either foreign actor involvement or he cracked something big like a cryptocurrency

        Then how do you donate to an international movement that got blacklisted by paypal, swift, etc?

        Cryptocurrency has value.

          If they’re blacklisted then how will they sell the cryptocurrency for fiat and be able to use the fiat in any meaningful way?

            Because its a p2p currency. You can’t blacklist a p2p currency. There’s is no middleman.

            Thats why its valuable.

              That’s true but operationally they can’t pay for all their expenses in cryptocurrency so they will need to sell it for fiat first.

          And it’s been around for 17 years now so if it’s a Ponzi scheme it’s one of the most amazingly long-running ones ever.

          People are free to dislike cryptocurrency and to not use it, but they should at least recognize that there are people who do use it and who do like it.

          I think you misread my comment, I didn’t mention cryptography, I only mentioned cryptocurrency.
