Today’s verdict was awful and can set dangerous precedent. Same with last week’s guilty pleas. But the worst thing we can do right now is embrace the chilling effect and tell builders to stop building. The Blanche Memo is still in place, and there is no need to preemptively bow to DOJ’s unjust overreach in the SW + TC prosecutions. Embrace the cypherpunk ethos and keep pushing forward. And if you need legal advice for a non-custodial tool you are building, my DMs are always open.
