TC: A rational action plan

Good morning / afternoon / nights everyone. I'm writing this because of the huge rage that lies in the air since the TC censorship came up, only incresing with the arrest of a innocent man, that has everyone one of us (DeFi believers) pissed off.

I want to share my main point of view on this maybe preventing someone from doing something they'll regret later. I'm most specifically talking about the people who wants to straight up challenge federal law by doing stuff like masivelly using Tornado Cash, or some other random stuff like that driven by full hate hype train and payback hunger. We can be a lot more rational than that and strike 10x better but we need to be patient, breaking federal law is no small thing, specially in the US.

We all know that sadly Tornado Cash is the first but not the last proyect to fall by some conservative government regulations. Specially in the Ethereum eco-system, the home of most DeFi proyects. Ethereum is driven by a philosophy that can (and i hope, will) change the world as we know it, but of course there will be casualties along the way, imagine that some random nerds from one day to another create some technology that sustrains your control and power over the mases, the US government only did what their survival instinct dictated them to do to keep their power.

Now, this is a war declaration, i agree 100% on those that are super pissed off and want to massively strike back because of the hate this kind of injustices cause. But we need to be smart. The first step to keep sustraining power to them is stop using centralized infrastructure. There's no true decentralization if the proyects are hosted in centralized platforms. Thats just centralized "decentralization".
There has been a VERY good post in this sub with most details about how to migrate to dex platforms, for the code, repositories and even the nodes. You can check it here.
Also, if you are a contributor (like me) i would suggest to try to contribute as anonymous as possible, maybe creating trash GitHub accounts that you then discard, avoiding KYC in every situation. If you run a proyect, do as Satoshi Nakamoto and use a pseudo-alias to not be exposed.

I really hope the Ethereum Foundation to reorder the priorities in the roadmap with what happened, considering at least in some point to develop a lightweight client. And if that happens, run that client, that way you would be helping to migrate from centralized nodes. Currently centralized nodes represent roughly 50% of the nodes of Ethereum. That simply cannot still that way if we want DeFi to be truly decentralized and not some cool concept.

As a last point, and i really want to stress this out, BE PATIENT. Ethereum isn't even 10 years old, the eco-system is still very very young, and a lot of things need to happen. But as history as taught us every time it happened, human will always wins, if a new finnancial system has to replace the traditional one. It will happen no matter how much they try to avoid that from happening.
