Might be one of your worst takes. Luke is a statist, and the state he wants is a theocratic authoritarian nightmare. He is openly hostile to privacy. Not surprising you are into him considering your Thiel connections. The authoritarians always find each other.
The picture falls into place more and more. An anti privacy pro state hostile take over of bitcoin rooted in dumb moralism and blind devotion. I was initially thinking this was all accidental but it’s becoming clear what future you all want.
Thankfully I think the cypherpunk ethos is still strong enough to remove this parasitic behavior.
