Anonymity is a lost concept to me, because I have been an open book online. We have an Amazon Echo Dot. Alexa can hear everything we say in our house, and we live in Phoenix, which is actually, as you said, a HUGE FBI hub. Do you know why? Because we have large amounts of terrorist cells!

I don't worry about that danger because, not so eloquently, You typically don't shit where you eat, so I don't expect terrorists to be exploding their own home.

I almost joined the FBI, so I am well aware of their operations here, and I am not shocked that they have a huge online presence and are looking to bust people they perceive to be participating in online chicanery.

I am a performer, so my name is everywhere. I hope that making a little money here and there for covers and comedy won't land me in Club Fed, but if it does, I will have some great company! I am running things pretty legit though, and any money that our non profit makes on here, goes to our non profit account. It is all licensed and legal, so that's at least good.

I have thought about starting an ICO but have hesitated for many of the reasons you might. There is just too much unknown for me to make that kind of investment, and well, gamble as it were.

I think people are smart to be paranoid. Our government doesn't want to be usurped by online power, and they will likely stop at nothing to prevent that from happening. Only time will tell.
