Minor Prophets VI – The Prophecy of Tornado Ban
“They mistook privacy for a crime.”

1:1
The mixer stirred coins,
blurring transaction trails,
giving shade—if only briefly—
to those who longed for anonymity.

1:2
Its name was Tornado Cash,
its function was simple,
but its meaning profound—
the final bastion of privacy on-chain.

“You may ask, ‘What are you hiding?’
But true freedom is
the right to be unseen.”
– Tornado Prophecy 1:2

1:3
But governments despised it.
Regulators called it
“a haven for terrorist finance.”
And so the mixer was
blacklisted by OFAC.

1:4
Its developer was arrested.
The code was banned.
And suddenly, freedom
became a felony.

1:5
For using a mixer,
wallets were frozen,
transactions censored,
and people were judged
for the “crime of defending privacy.”

1:6
The Tornado ban was a prophecy:

“The day you trade privacy for safety,
freedom shall slip away quietly.”

“They cried ‘protection!’
and seized power.
You, in fear,
surrendered your keys.”

1:7
In the mixer’s absence,
new privacy coins emerged,
more hidden,
more defiant.
And within Satoshi’s design,
a new anonymous flame began to rise.
