The problem I see with all these crypto solutions is that they rely on 2 fundamentals:
- Our infrastructures are working (electricity is on, your internet is running and your ISP is not tampering with your connection because you have been identified as not using the CBDC you are supposed to for instance)
- The grubbernment will let that …

They did that with the jabs in Australia for instance => people cannot work if unjabbed. simple as that.
In Australia too, the CBDC will be launched by the end of the year. ATMs are disappearing at lighting speed.
In France, now, every invoice a company emits has to go through a centralised platform => complete tracking.
Remember that in 1934 the US gov decided that individuals couldn't hold gold anymore and used the seize gold when found in safes... with a finger snap.
We are headed into a total digital enslavement system and even if the crypto idea is genius and Steve's concept is enticing, it builds upon a paradigm that is being used for our own demise and to me it cannot be a viable long term solution. Maybe short term...
As much as I'd love to see alternatives in the digital world, IMHO, we need to look at the whole picture and realise what we are really facing: digital tyranny. Not sure we can fight fire with fire on this one...
i think the only way for an ISP to tamper with your connection is if you willingly route your connection through their servers. you don't have to though. just change your DNS. i use 1.1.1.1
also the only way to make a government to work in your interests is to force them to compete for you. don't like your country? move to a better one. singapore for instance loves crypto
I did move from the lion's den to the crocodile pit (from France to Australia), voting with my feet a few years back and I do envisage doing it again to escape this hellhole before I am send into the brand new camps they have built.
The ISP can be ordered to cut you off the net. In Australia, the "authorities" can even take over your social media and post in your stead, bait your friends etc.
There is no place safe on the net as it is depending on the corporate realm and the political realm. We would need another internet, fully decentralised but even there, the bastards could disrupt the whole thing I'm afraid.
I think when we look at this all honestly, dispassionately, the only conclusion is to go off grid, ditch your phone, build community, use old-school means of communication... I can't see us winning using an already gangrened system.

Happy to be proven wrong.
