Hey , your ethical stances were praised last week. Care to offer your two cents on the banning of free speech?

Sure. I think we, as a community, have shown that we will not tolerate bullies abusing the legal system as a means of shutting down dissenting opinions. Harassing and stealing from those who disagree with you is effectively a ban on free speech. Crypto is about open discourse.

If you are referring to the idea of Twitter shutting down an account, I think that generally, private companies ought to be able to refuse/provide service on a voluntary basis. If the question is about who owns "Bitcoin", I'd say nobody owns it, just like

Its not so much to silence the voices of people they disagree with, as it is to right the wrong voices.
Using handle to mainly shill an altcoin as if it was the real deal, shame on you!

Real question is why anybody would call their project "bitcoin" when they don't own the .com or the Twitter handle. Seems like a brand disaster in the making from the start. With a market cap of $90b+, you'd think Bitcoin would be able to buy the identities if they're important.

You'd have to ask the owner. It's the Twitter account + the .com. Of course, you can always gamble that you'll be able to acquire them later at a reasonable price but you take the risk that they'll be used by your competitors. At some point it's worth changing your name.

I'm not sure if .com or the twitter handle was very high up on Satoshi's list of things to do.
With a market cap of $90b+, Bitcoin is no central entity to aquire identity objects.

Wasn't that the original #Bitcoin logo? It references bitcoin and the various clients that implement bitcoin. Companies pay good money to buy their domains from squatters in the real world. The bitching from your group and bitcoiners in general is childishly embarrassing.

It would be ideal if marks globally were to be rendered invalid from genericide. Nobody has the right to be seen as authoritative or to speak for Bitcoin. Existing rules (ToS, torts, consumer protection, etc) can be used against fraudulent behavior.

Some things cannot be protected by trademark, yet nobody questions the correctness of protection from passing off fraud for public safety. twitter.com/wtogami/status

History: Many Bitcoin marks were sold by an entity in bankruptcy protection ~2014-2015 in what could be deemed to be an act of fraudulent conveyance. This fact may not matter due to genericide and it is messy as nobody should have exclusive rights to a name like the "Internet".

I'm still unclear what defines bitcoin? I know the great core developers have moved it on from the limits of the Whitepaper, but how can a non-technical person like me learn about it? I can't read the code of the excellent bitcoin core client.
