$70 Million protestor fund seized in HK, what does this mean for crypto?

$70 Million HKD fund for protestors, to pay for medical bills, legal fees, resources etc, was confiscated by the Hong Kong police. 4 people jailed and accused of money laundering. This is how they suppress free speech. What does this mean for crypto in HK?

Maybe now that Trump has been impeached the dangerous division of Americans that has been engineered by the enemedia will become more apparent to many who have been lulled into trusting the institutions that have been corrupted by nefarious parties intent on doing them harm.

I have been the tip of that spear, and have not had a bank account for more than a decade now as a result of rampant fraud in the financial industry. I suspect that you aren't cynical enough to fully grasp the insecurity of communications today, as there are no commercial chipsets that aren't manufactured with backdoors at the factory. You may recall that many EULAs state that failure to enforce rights does not render those rights unenforceable at will, and the lack of action to employ sanctions that are potential to creepy snoops does not mean they aren't able to.

Do research as to the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that has access to all data on every Intel chipset prior to software encryption, and the similar mechanisms built into all communications platforms.

If it's on a computer, it's not secure. Ask Bruce Schneier if computers can be secure. He'll tell you that they cannot be made absolutely secure, because physics does not allow it. Computers have been infected with malware by specifically crafted DNA they were used to scan. They've been hacked by shining lights on case leds. Every monitor is a camera, and every speaker is a microphone. Physics. In the end, data is just ones and zeroes, and until we have open source hardware we will not have computers secure from state level actors.

Thanks!

This is the real power of crypto currency. Not sure what it means for crypto but i can see what it means for humanity. It wont be long until they come down HARD on crypto in attempt to control it as much as they can. Enjoy these times while they last.

Hey @jphamer1, here is a little bit of BEER from @eii for you. Enjoy it!

Indeed, crypto gives people back more control over their own lives

who knows when this will stop

Yeah it's super sad :(

wow that is really sad

Well, if I was in Hong Kong, whether a protester or not, I would be buying crypto to secure my savings. I noticed that you are a presenter at Anarchapulco, congratulations. What will you be talking about? Or are you singing?

If it was seized, then it means crypto isn't a safe investment.
