Can we Stop the MetaMask/Venezuela nonsense?

Sorry for the rant but:

Guys please use your brains…

If you use a bitcoin light wallet the same thing can happen as you are relying on a centralized node service to connect to the network that can block your ip from connecting to it if desired.

Metamask can’t block shit, it’s the node service infura that comes as default node setting which is a Organisation that can be politically pressured to block you out…

That’s something ALL light clients have in common by design, no matter the blockchain.

Easy way to avoid: spend 30 seconds to change metamask settings to a different node service or even better, run your own node and connect your wallet to it. (Same for bitcoin).

NOBODY can stop you connecting to the network via metamask.

Sometimes I feel like people are so passionate about crypto yet lack the very basics of how it works and get rilled up over the dumbest shit.

Guess what, not your keys not your coins Guess what, not your node not your access point to the network.
