- Is anyone surprised at the governments actions regarding censorship at this point? 

- Democrats have been advocating violence against Donald Trump for a long time. When they tell you who who they are - believe them.

Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.

"A great way to understand yourself is to seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others." - Kevin Kelly

"The Constitution is greater than any President. End of story." - Elon Musk

"Your library is your paradise." - Desiderius Erasmus

"It is never too late to be what you might have been." - George Elliot

Alexander Hamilton - The Federalist Papers

"[A] dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidding appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.'

So very true! Beware those who preach "for the greater good" for they are the ones who want to rule. Likewise beware those who demean the US Constitution as a document written by dead white guys because they would impose their rules on you once the Bill of Rights has been weakened or replaced.

Constitution DAO Aftermath

'Buy the Constitution' aftermath: everyone very mad, confused, losing lots of money, fighting, crying, etc.

Interesting look at what happened when the crypto-crowd-sourced bid to but a copy of the US Constitution failed. Obviously Web3 and DAO's still have a lot of wrinkles that need to be worked out.

In other unrelated news Gamestop stock was at $247.55 at last night's market close.

Web3 DAO to Buy the Constitution Tonight?

One of the privately owned copies of the US Constitution goes up for auction tonight and Web3 enthusiasts have banded together to buy it. 

Of the 13 original copies of the US Constitution there are only 2 that are privately held and this group has raised over $40 million for the task of buying the one up for auction tonight. And I really think they're going to do it!  This will be a huge public relations win for cryptocurrency in general and for Web3 as well.

The symbolism is off the charts.

EDIT: The DAO just lost out as the winning bid was $43.2 from a private collector.
