It's all smoke and mirrors, folks!
Imagine hearing outcries all over the media, from so-called authorities and quasi-experts from around the globe, stating their "concerns" about crypto, armed with unsubstantiated claims and loaded with sensationalist attitudes on behalf of the greater good, trying to protect us all from evils, only to learn that it's all fake news and there is a deeper agenda. Sounds a bit far fetched, doesn't it?
Try falling down the rabbit hole for a while to learn about crypto, and you will be surprised. I promise you it will be worth it, and that it compares to the ending scene of the Truman Show.
Central banks are incentivised to maintain public surveillance and fortify their position of (monetary) power and dominance, under the guise of heroism. When they are threatened, as is the case with crypto, they will defend themselves and aggressively seek ways to maintain the status quo.
Watch what they do, not what they say. Central Bank Digital Currencies (DBDCs) provide an effective infrastructure for authoritarian regimes to fortify themselves by upgrading their means of surveillance, adding control mechanisms and ways to hide internal policy, information and transactions, while requiring users to to give up most of their freedoms in order to participate in the economy.
CBDCs are coming and they are an obstacle to liberty. Bitcoin is freedom.
