Sadly no, disinfo is huge wrt censorship resistance. Too many centralized "crypto" biz are still busy duping controversial services into thinking they share this crucial attribute, then screwing them when inevitably their single point of failure falls prey to political activism.

I can remember the @getongab guy in a video where he is standing in s field & it's snowing & talking about how speech is being censored on the social media platforms , I think he is joking here

But his alternative social platform is also centralized, thus censorable by infrastructure providers, & they made repeated bad decisions to use centralized payment processors. Despite their awful experiences they are still in early stages of learning about censorship resistance.

OK your probably right on that, they really have to think through how something is structured but at the same cashflow & paying all their bills has to be done too _ it is a kind of a paradox : you can be pro crypto & decentralisation but you are tied to the 'real' world as well

They are getting shut down by almost every major infrastructure provider. To survive they have to go full turkey crypto with their supply chain -- pay their employees & as many suppliers as possible in a trust-minimized crypto. If they can't or won't do that they will die.

Is there a market for people willing to be paid in Crypto yet? I'm a software engineer in New York City and as enthusiastic as I am about crypto, I don't think I'd be able to survive without a shit ton of hoops to jump through...
