Every major institution is making the same bet right now: that the public will accept digital control in exchange for convenience.

CBDCs. Digital IDs. AI-gated services. Programmable money that expires, restricts, or surveils.

The structural defense is simple: hold assets no one can freeze, communicate on protocols no one can censor, and build systems that work without permission.

Bitcoin. Nostr. Self-sovereignty.

These are not ideological positions. They are structural hedges against a very specific and accelerating institutional trend.
