According to Mars Finance, Edward Snowden, the whistleblower of "Prism Gate", gave a video speech at Token2049. He said: The last time I came to Singapore was in 2009. 15 years have passed and many things have changed, but the (US) government monitors everyone everywhere, and this has not changed at all.

In the past, regulators wanted Telegram to shut down some channels from its servers, knowing that Telegram had the ability to do so. The (US) government just wanted to keep Facebook. Controlling Telegram is not important. What is more important is that regulators know everyone’s identity and their “social habits”, and try to control and shape everyone, so that some people they think are dangerous or incorrect cannot speak out.

Most people don’t take this seriously, thinking it’s far away from them, but in fact every electronic device you own is being monitored.

I don’t care how Wall Street and millionaires feel when regular people talk about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and privacy.
