__blockcypher__ at least gave some reasoning behind the expressed position. A fact-free, argument-free rebuttal does little to refute such a post, even if the post is wrong.

Could you give some evidence or argument or both to explain why you think __blockcypher__ is wrong?

In what way am I seriously oversimplifying reality?

Maybe I came off too hard, and lacking details didn't help either. My point is, this is a situation without precedent, unlikely to repeat very often, and not all private industry is being nationalised. Same goes for banning short sales. It won't last forever.

That is why I think you oversimplified. This is not a communist takeover of France.

Note: I did not, and wouldn't have downvoted you for your comment. Yours is a fair opinion to have.
