This is good to hear. I’ve been hearing this for a while and I agree, and I hope it is the way that we and the people who are supportive of bitcoin are right because it’s going to be important to be able to do our own transactional banking in a private way. We don’t want to be controlled. And by the way, am I first message I accidentally put the word, “don’t” want to control us, but what I really meant was the WEF and the CCP and all of those globalists and communist and Marxist do want to control us like slaves. The conversations that I really, really want to engage in is how to stop these freaks from doing this to us. These people are committing crimes against our country, trying to bring down America and our constitution in our freedoms and liberties. These people need to be brought to be held responsible for these acts of war and crimes against the people of America and our government and institutions. And these guys are big-time criminals. We got lots of grounds to arrest him and try them for committing war crimes against the United States, and the rest of the world!

They will shut down the internet & society
Eventually! Assumption that society needs internet is misplaced when internet was not relied upon at just 20 years ago!
Obviously most will not be able to operate without internet but a few would!
Destabilizing & destroying society& lives is the end game! Bitcoin doesn't even picture anywhere. Besides it is deep state run & will be gone! Any illusion that Bitcoin is independent should vanish as Vanguard & BlackRock are supporting it!

You can’t ban Bitcoin without shutting down the entire internet, and society can no longer function without the internet.

If physical resources are destined to be rationed by the elite in the future, why not digital resources?

I should think that Digital Serfs would definitely be firewalled by their internet provider 'for their own safety' in such a way as not to be able to access 'dangerous' resources such as Bitcoin.

Or at least tracked, and paid a visit by suitably equipped IRS agents enquiring into possible terrorist activities…

And if the assertion is that the elites are destined not to be successful, don't people using *any* internet based resources such as Bitcoin to trade represent a 'low hanging fruit' far more likely to be plucked than the average blackmarketer bartering eggs for cigarettes?

John might be implying the salient point that VR totalitarianism — an actual Matrix minus the science-fictional energy harvesting of bioelectricity — is not possible because gaming is *just* a subculture no different than any other.

"Further, that the idea of weaponizing and metering resource usage to effectively transfer all property to them has been in-play since at least the Club of Rome, “Limits to Growth” days."

So long as 99pc of dissidents fall for this golden nugget of disinfo — turning the reality of cyclical civilizational physics into a false conspiracy theory — the 99pc will remain political reactionaries, and political reactionaries*will* always be herdable because political reactionaryism *is* herding behavior…

Peak Global Total Oil Liquids production (conventional plus unconventional oil) happened in late 2018. The plandemic did exactly what it was designed to do, which was to reduce a measure of both global
complexity and global consumer demand. The elite-manufactured Ukraine war serves the same function.

The manufacturing of demand destruction and the reverse engineering of globalization with hard decouplings under cover of 'war' is what we call the non-public Degrowth Agenda. See that for the buried, Red Pill that it is, and everything starts to fall clearly into place, and in a place that lies beyond politics and reactionaryism.

The non-public Degrowth Agenda exists out of necessity; the necessary management of the *structural* collapse (post- limits to growth) is a *feature* of civilization no different than any other, and it's nothing personal; while this fact doesn't make it right/ethical, civilization wasn't exactly ethical in the first place, was it?, so we can't really complain about it can we? All that the mature human can do is navigate it.

Peace.

You are, as Lenin once said, a "useful idiot". They've already got you by the balls but you're too happy having them stroked to even care.
