[QUOTE="Foolsgo1d, post: 1261230, member: 7006"] I never said to not try but you're missing the point I made. They are the monopoly power, meaning they have the governments ear and unless that changes anytime soon your foreign hosting could be subject to all sorts of threats. This next bit is based on possible future scenarios so take it with a bit of salt. How would a small country or a country outside the juristiction of the major powers cope if in future they are forced to comply or face consequences? Would that country really give a damn if bribed or threatened? What about ISPs? VPNs can be overcome so its not a completely flawless work around. Remember the ISIS beheading video of that western journo? They scrubbed the internet of it and threatened every hosting site they could with closure and in several cases they got that wish. Others moved to other friendlier hosts. The same happened to the NZ shooting. Now these are one off events so what will they do to shut down a movement of people who are a threat to their status quo? And Bitcoin can be shut down overnight if the banks willed it. You're at their mercy with this stuff regardless of how anonymous it is. [/QUOTE]
