Jaron Lanier was super formative for my thinking around Bitcoin (albeit indirectly) when I first saw that talk in 2018.
The man is a genius and a very unorthodox thinker in the realm of general internet UX and how that UX influences our lives in meatspace.
Not surprising given that he is the "godfather of VR." I would expect nothing but profound analysis about how our digital lives and interactions color our real world perceptions from someone with a moniker like that.

Last night at the bar where we always host our Tulsa meetup, we just so happened to share the space with a local author doing a book signing for his Western novels.
He had never owned any Bitcoin, but by the end of the night we got him a Muun wallet and he sold quite a few copies for sats.
thanks to Chris for being a good sport and making a great meetup memory

Dan Simmons, Hyperion 1989.
The more Sci Fi I've read over the past year or so, the more surprised I've been to find evidence that the idea of population level control via financial censorship and surveillance was well developed within certain niche cultural circles pre-mainstream adoption of the Internet.
The foresight of these writers is astounding. I have to imagine Dan Simmons at the time of writing Hyperion was witnessing the mainstream adoption of credit cards and *correctly* intuited that on a long enough time frame, this would lead to no-cash economies.
Maybe Dan Simmons was a cypherpunk. Either way, always feel humbled to find more little morsels of these ideas that have been integrated into Bitcoin appear before the 90s.

There doesn't seem to be much unique about mining operations. Conceivably any Chinese investment in close proximity to a data center would arise a similar "espionage" concern.
The article pairs that with basic energy FUD and preys on the average reader's grid illiteracy to create a full blown hit piece. IMO

As Bitcoiners, it's imperative we don't suffer from short attention spans. Remember that there are elected officials trying to pass laws that seek to expand state control over citizens' ability to interact with the Bitcoin network. Thanks to @npub1a2c…w83a for the reminder in #BrokenMoney
The Digital Asset Anti Money Laundering Act, reintroduced in August 2023, seeks to inflate the Bank Secrecy Act's surveillance powers and seeks to limit the ability to use privacy-preserving services like coinjoins. Yet, these dragnet surveillance tactics often fall short in crime prevention, instead burdening law-abiding citizens with unwarranted intrusions.
Bitcoin, a manifestation of mathematical speech through open-source code, stands as a bulwark against such invasive regimes. Enforcing these surveillance measures only breeds administrative waste, rather than combating crime effectively. This underscores Bitcoin's intrinsic value and the essence of true decentralization: the ability to separate money from state control and to opt out from an intrusive system into a user-maintained ledger.

Additionally, I'm not sure I followed where you are getting the assumption that the SEC (specifically) will definitely get into the business of marking clean and unclean coins and for what purpose?
What is the plausible (and likely draconian) enforcement mechanism that concerns you if the SEC were to start a coin purity testing regime?

Additionally, the desire of one axis of power to censor certain messages, is often in the direct interest of a separate axis of power to amplify that same content.
Which, in my mind brings up an additional threat vector, i.e. governments policing connections to blacklisted relays

I think in this scenario, somewhat akin to how we have jurisdictions with "unique" financial regulations, such as the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Hong Kong, UAE, etc...
We could expect to see some jurisdictions be incentivized to run open, noncensored relays. Incentivized via pay to join/pay to stay features paid in an uncensorable magic internet money, perhaps.
