Will this be used to justify more crypto crackdowns, a central bank digital currency, or even more command economy planning?
100% they'll come after crypto holders. They've done it with gold in 1934/35 and they'll do it again. People holding Bitcoin will be labled criminals, terrorists, you name it. And this time they can see how much is inside each wallet, just gotta find the owner. Or better... they offer custody and ppl will fall for the trap. Then they'll issue their own digital money "that's safer to keep and is 1:1 ratio with your Bitcoin". Plus the whole "you'l have nothing but will be happy" 2030 agenda, that means we'll rent everything instead of buying. GOSH...we already rent everything through mortgages and loans and all of that, or do people think it's normal to spend 30 years paying for a house?
I own guns, I have crypto, and I reject the legitimacy of political authority. It doesn't matter to them that I advocate peace and consent. I am literally an enemy of the State, and thus a threat. For now, I'm just an easily-dismissed kook on the web. How long will that last, though, as another cycle of political theater fails to placate the masses? Will the technocrats manage to steer society their way by propaganda and co-opting protests again like they did with the Tea Party and Black Lives Matter, or will we finally start to break some chains?
I doubt the masses will break the chains. Some of us have, and some more will at some point, but I guess the vast majority will just become useful idiots until civil unrest reaches unbearable levels and we start to see violence everywhere. To bad we've ran out of 'empty' spaces around the globe to settle and start from scratch with better values.
