Mute/block all of Solana. I did a few months ago. Solana is simply not important anymore.

Risk appetite among Gen Z is through the roof: 80% of Gen Z investors say they invest, or plan to invest, in high-risk speculative assets because they feel financially behind, the highest proportion among all generations.

Prohibition didn't stop drinking. It created the mafia. The war on drugs didn't stop drug use. It filled prisons and funded cartels. Banning encryption won't stop secrets. It'll just make criminals out of citizens. This is the oldest pattern in civilization: ban a fundamental human behavior and watch it go underground. The behavior doesn't disappear. It just becomes dangerous, unregulated, and controlled by the worst people instead of the best. Privacy is a fundamental behavior. People have always whispered. Always kept things from others. Always kept parts of their lives separate from other parts. This isn't deviance, it's architecture. The human psyche requires rooms with doors. When governments push to ban strong encryption, mandate backdoors, or outlaw privacy tools, they're not preventing crime. They're creating a world where only criminals have privacy because criminals don't follow bans. Law-abiding people surrender their encryption keys. Criminals don't. Law-abiding people use KYC exchanges. Criminals don't. Law-abiding people comply. Criminals route around. The result? The people who need privacy most - journalists, dissidents, abuse survivors, activists - lose it. The people doing actual harm were never using compliant systems anyway. Every privacy ban is a prohibition. And every prohibition creates the exact underworld it claimed to prevent. The alternative: build privacy into infrastructure so well that it's not a choice. Not a political stance. Not suspicious behavior. Just how the system works. The way cash always worked.
