Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith sentenced to 63 months in prison + $100k fine for traveling to Pyongyang in 2019 to speak at blockchain conference ("conspiracy to violate international sanctions")

He did it, he found a good case for using crypto: evading US sanctions.

This is really sad tho and fuck the US government for imprisoning someone just because they went to a country.

Look I think crypto is stupid bullshit, but this is absolutely fucking American fascism on full display here

Isn't violating international sanctions the whole point of crypto? Cryptobros are always touting how their currency can't be meddled with by a country's government so now they should put their money where their mouth is.
