I have a feeling we are in the middle of a long-term plan, that will culminate in a type of "9/11" event in crypto, that will be the final nail in our economic control coffin:
1. BTC was state-sponsored, with the intent of driving us to this new system (that seems obvious now)
2. The NSA (et al) have classified attack surfaces planned, even through obsolescence in algorithms (Snowden proved this)
3. Once our move to all digital is completed, they will engineer a devastating series of attacks -- be that on BTC and others
4. Apply force to remedy. This will be the crypto 9/11. Whatever the scenario ends up being, create a crisis and force people to move their holdings from BTC into CBDCs or other forms of crypto that are fully programmable/trackable.
5. Offer amnesty options to "certain people" -- forced confession, essentially -- everyone must move their holdings (or risk losing it all)
6. Total and complete financial lockdown; mission accomplished.
Now it may not look exactly like this, but I have a very deep intuitive sense that this is coming. What we all felt was digital freedom (BTC) ended up being something otherwise, it led to more governance and to a system that has been planned for a very long time.
Farsight?
I think we're already in an economic coffin aren't we? Aren't we're already in a completely controlled financial system?
They are certainly in the process of changing the financial system over to a new system and crypto looks like its very much part of that. There's currently a decentralized finance vs. centralize finance in the crypto space. But isn't the old system also a coffin?
The Canadian government literally froze the bank accounts of single mothers who donated $20 to the freedom convoy during the lockdowns. They didn't even protest themselves. They just donated. The gov't easily weaponized the banks against any dissenters to crush them completely. I think there may still be some who can no longer have bank accounts last I checked. I can't imagine other countries are that different.
