Open Letter to #FreeLukeJr
Infographics: https://i.imgur.com/zGygu4U.jpg
Luke Dashjr, a prolific Bitcoin Core developer, has been sent to Twitter jail: he received a permanent suspension for proclaiming he'll respond with appropriate force if anyone tries to force vaccination on him or his family. To avoid confusion it's important to clarify he does not have an anti-vaccine stance, rather he took a wait for more data approach instead.
Bitcoin is the future of money, a technology that is as fundamental to humanity as speech itself. It is paramount for mankind to thrive. Luke spent over a decade working on this technology, therefore taking away his access to public communication channels is great disservice to society itself.
Flexes:
- Core dev
- BIP maintainer
- Knots dev (which powers Wasabi Wallet)
- Runs one of Bitcoin's default DNS seed
- 2013 HF save
- Node statistics
- Bitcoin Wiki
- Hardfork/softfork research
- Segwit design
- BFGMiner/cgminer, Eloipool, Eligius
- GBT (StratumV2/BetterHash before it was cool), libblkmaker, libbase58
- Blockstream cofounder, sidechains whitepaper, Elements/Liquid
- Free software GPU mining & Free firmware FPGA mining
- Bitcoin Magazine (reviewer/editor on technical articles)
We do believe in freedom of association, that private companies have the freedom to refuse doing business with anyone for any ridiculous reasons, be it vaccination, or even just a whim. Therefore, our only tool is persuasion, this open letter that is supported by a number of respected Bitcoin personalities, educators, developers and other builders. We hope this letter finds the relevant Twitter employees well #FreeLukeJr
