@missyk5150 I've never heard of an example of eminent domain being applied to open source software.

if you can provide such an example, I'll reopen this issue.

Or this from the daily bell.com

"TOR facility that is supposed to keep bitcoin transactions anonymous was developed by the US military, of all groups"

Bitcoin is not gold. This article frames the conversation around a false paradigm, as if you can only own gold or bitcoin. They are two different things, and the reasons to own them are different. 3
− Avatar The Daily Bell snax a year ago You seem a bit defensive about bitcoin. It does matter in our view that the US military created software that people use to enforce bitcoin anonymity. The security breaches and embezzlement seem to us to be a direct outcome of Bitcoin's organization and transactional needs. We have participated in numerous dialogues in which it soon became clear that counter-parties subscribed to the notion that gold is quaint and outdated. It is not. All that being said, we are happy that bitcoin proceeds and seems to be gaining traction. Anything that provides an alternative private money is a net positive in our view. We would tend to reject the perspective of one of its most important programmers that it is already a "failure."
