Thorchain was the biggest loser in the CoinDesk 100 today, down 6.4%.
The reason: the FBI, Secret Service and IRS Criminal Investigation urged node operators to block addresses linked to the Binance hackers (CoinDesk).
That puts a spotlight on a hard question for decentralized networks: when authorities ask validators to filter transactions, where does neutrality end and compliance begin? Either answer has a cost for $RUNE holders and the wider DeFi space.
Do you think node operators should block flagged addresses, or is open access the whole point? Tell me which side you're on and why.
