"North Korea evil, intervention gud" is a nail in the coffin of the L2 thesis, as much as it is the same for L1 DAOs that are just constitutional multisigs with a discord and a LLC wrapper.
no whale is going to risk contested assets where mutable code can be compelled by fiat. traditional finance is more suitable for that kind of wealth and legal crutch.
CROPs and EF mandate demand immutable protocols on L1, and the geopolitical stakes demand more formal verification and bug-hunting, ideally more lucrative on testnet. no incumbent state is coming to save this, therefore nobody should be trusted to stop this, or whales will vote with their wallets.

autonomy is a fundamental goal for crypto.
introducing moral hazard to chill autonomy is capture of a fundamental principle.
economy is a superset of ecology, not a jurisdictional subset. we globally need formal verification and genuinely neutral security. permissioned validation and obscure multisigs are not sustainable security models.

the Fourth Amendment is not what you think it is, and was designed for eavesdropping at someone's house window. listen to Dario's perspective, the guidance of Claude to executive law enforcement, as well as the following caselaw:
Kyllo v. United States (533 U.S. 27, 2001) - intrusive thermal imaging is allowed with both a warrant *and exigent circumstances*
Carpenter v. United States (585 U.S. 296, 2018) - likewise, accessing historical cell-site location information from third-party providers and real-time tracking with Stingrays is allowed with a warrant
with such information, and the predominance of *probable* cause warrants, what stops a hostile jurisdiction from searching you all the time with AI-augmented surveillance?

pretty much like utilities fighting net metering, even as solar attained scale and provides societal benefit.
so, taxation without representation

pretty self-explanatory. if Layer 1 requires hardware, the supply chain is Layer 0, but it can still be derived as Layer 1.
sort of like a... fat protocol

🌶️- in light of institutional onboarding, there is a spectrum with two foci: infocommunism and cryptocommunism.
on the former, a government can consolidate copyleft code of law that transparently hardens a creative commons.
on the latter, an economy will aggregate assurance contracts, especially structural incentive, which reinforces a hypercompetitive culture.
but both depend on the same global network with diminishing ability to suppress it.
