My vision is a strong _decentralized_ system, which is:

  a) too important to close,

  b) able to provide adequate response to governments, like EFF or Google do.

Having a substantial attack surface and, at the same time, not having significant power is the worst fighting strategy.

It's the "Peter Todd vs 10 cops" scenario.

So your closing remark is basically, "you're too stupid to understand"?

I'll take it.
