Not true. There isn't one single country in the world, and I mean not one, where financial freedom (just to give one example) has expanded in the last quarter of a century or more. Instead, even countries like Switzerland have finally submitted and begun to apply the same AML and KYC regulations as the countries where those started. Likewise, every single country that has implemented things like national photo identification card systems has expanded them, not rolled them back. And the list goes on.

Government powers will shrink so drastically over the coming decades. We have a difficult time seeing this because we’ve become so accustomed to their extreme power within the fiat realm.
IMO we are entering a new era where governments will have to compete for citizens in the same way companies compete for customers. That’s currently not happening because of the fiat money printers. Again, #bitcoin will fix this.
