i sure hope you are right on "the grassroots beginnings".

i can still see all these shenanigans and the overapparent official hostility towards crypto as the usual way to normalize a new situation and prepare the controlled opposition that way.

if CBDCs fail because crypto 'finally comes out victorious', it does beg the question whether that was the plan from the beginning. i am still 50-50 on it but i still get the sense we are being played...

i hope i am wrong.
