'Regulatory capture - you're the one being Trojan horsed.'

This. Bitcoin helps govnts regulate and spy on transactions in a way that fiat cash cannot. Either CBDCs or Bitcoin are going to replace fiat cash soon. Those who oppose CBDCs foolishy believe Bitcoin is the counter alternative. Its like Rep v Dems - both are Trojan horses that serve the same ends - to give power and control to the most powerful people on earth.
