Awesome post :)
My thoughts on the situation are as follows.
I think you are correct in the fact that the master plan of all governments are to introduce a state backed coin.
Ever since credit and debit cards have been around, the transfer from cash to technology backed systems of money have been getting larger and larger.
-The introduction of contact less card payments.
-Apple pay etc
The rise of google and the fact everything you do nowadays is being monitored and traced.
I believe the next step is a state backed crypto coin.
This would be a disaster if adopted by the people. Unfortunately i feel that most people would accommodate the idea of a state backed coin.
Most people are sheep and do whatever the government want them to do.
The end goal for the governments is to introduce a cash less society.
A society where nothing you do in life goes unnoticed by the people at the top.
A society where you can get away with nothing, where you are to scared to doi anything out of the ordinary.
