Bitcoin Dev Jon Atack Detained in El Salvador—Neighbor Spat Turns Crypto-Headline

El Salvador's Bitcoin paradise shows its first cracks as core developer Jon Atack gets cuffed over a local dispute. The arrest—reportedly stemming from a noise complaint gone nuclear—puts the spotlight on the country's uneasy marriage of cryptocurrency idealism and real-world governance.

When your neighbor calls the cops instead of complaining on Twitter, you know you're in a jurisdiction that still believes in physical consequences.

The incident comes just weeks after Atack relocated to the Central American nation, drawn by its Bitcoin-friendly policies. Now the community watches to see whether Salvadoran authorities extend the same 'live and let mine' philosophy to personal disputes.

Funny how quickly 'adoption' becomes 'adaptation' when you're dealing with human nature instead of hash rates.
