While I agree, I think you should pay particular attention to the final paragraph about the dangers of not speaking out about the issue of them trying in the first place. Many of them don't understand cryptocurrency but I'm sure that if they did, they would embrace it in a kind of "bottom up" process.
I suggest calling or meeting with to your congress representatives. If you meet with them hand them a paper written on: "Crypt0 Gave His Views on US Government Attempts To Take Your Coins" followed by the URL to the video or if you phone tell them how to access the video and explain to them that you're not an expert like Omar, but you do have cryptocurrency and they are being lied to about it. Tell them that video will explain it all in full and all of Omar's previous videos. Tell them he is open and honest clearly from his videos. Plead with them to please watch this video for the future generations to come.
I'm not trying to get a seat at their table. I'm trying to smash their table and put them in prisons.
lol. I used to feel the same, but I think it's cognitive dissonance that caused my anger. Looking back, I used to believe that our governments were all against us but maybe it's just me almost being 30 now and starting to reflect on my life; but I now view it as a natural phenomenon that has happened over and over again, civil war after civil war.
Older generations don't understand what us younger generations are thinking, and us younger generations fail to communicate with our predecessors. We now have the means and tools to easily communicate with them, but for some reason we are repeating all of our predecessors mistakes.
Not everyone in government is "evil" the vast majority of them are good people, they just listen to those who have influence on their day to day work life so they can earn money to feed their family or fund their retirement.
We need to take some responsibility here too, we're not communicating effectively.
I'm 42 and I couldn't disagree more. I judge people right away by how they earn a living. Government commits extortion to fund itself. Taxation is extortion by definition. Anyone receiving income from extorted funds is living a fraudulent lifestyle and is a criminal. This includes EVERYONE taking a paycheck that's paid in tax dollars which mean EVERYONE in government.
If you're a teacher and are paid with money that was collected through property taxation - you might not know it, but you're a fraud too. However, its hard to make someone see the truth if their paycheck depends on them being blind to it.
I think we're basically on the same page. I decided to put teaching on the back seat for now due to politics at work causing no end of misery and depression. Moved over to cryptomining and doing not too bad :-)
I take your points, they are valid, I just don't think everyone realises that they are being manipulated further up the chain.
