By the way - I'm amazed at how many people are surprised that a drug dealer with extreme anarcho-capitalist tendencies turned out to be not a swell guy! Imagine that!

This "redlist" thing is just icing on the cake. His last shred of credibility was lost already back in october when he wrote this:

I voted stay. I think this is being blown out of proportion and what he's proposing is practically impossible to prevent anyway.
Seems like the only thing that can't be prevented is a lack of imagination.

But he said it well a member of the foundation. If you do not like make your own altcoin, to see who uses it. You even talk like politicians: D, despots.

If I didn't know better, I would conclude that he has been "compromised".

This was the problem in making the "Bitcoin Foundation" an American organization.
They had the opportunity to take on a new representative recently and were presented with people from around the world, but chose the American Girl who spoke heartily about keeping the Bitcoin Foundation American and all other groups around the world just "satellite offices" of the USA Bitcoin Foundation.
Clearly this pissed off many, and for good reason.
Now we have a clear example of why the Bitcoin Foundation being an American organization is a bad thing.
Why is the "hub" for decision-making on Bitcoin... in the belly of the Lion?
That has to be the worst idea ever. Right in the middle of "regulation central" ...

People do not believe in anything. "The Foundation" just wants to collect their winnings. I despise these people. Curious that the heroe members generally support the initiative, but since it began to centralize Bitcoin was obvious that this would happen, hopefully soon, Casino Tax bitcoin to end tax of 2% on each transaction.

bitcoin does not need identity checks supervised by the USA
while trading bitcoin for products priced in bitcoin, thats for us to supervise our own money
while trading bitcoin for altcoin , thats for us to supervise our own money
while trading altcoin for products priced in altcoin, thats for us to supervise our own money
only identity check when you want FIAT.
EG if you want to convert bitcoin into dollar to go to a bank account then and only then inside the exchange do you follow the fincen laws.
EG if you want to convert bitcoin into pounds to go to a bank account then and only then inside the exchange do you follow the FCA laws.
EG if you want to convert bitcoin into Yen to go to a bank account then and only then inside the exchange do you follow the FSA laws.
EG if you want to convert bitcoin into Euro to go to a German bank account then and only then inside the exchange do you follow the BaFin laws.
EG if you want to convert bitcoin into Euro to go to a French bank account then and only then inside the exchange do you follow the AMF laws.
you get the idea

Death is impossible to prevent too. So let's kill ourselves!

It's not impossible to prevent, the core is basically already possible.But problem is, he proposes a redemption system when receiving tainted coins:
- Send ID
- Sign a form allowing some kind of authority to track your bitcoin activity

Impossible to prevent, yes. But the Bitcoin Foundation shouldn't be behind it.
