That's correct.

So then they’ll still be able to control us. Didn’t they just divide up bitcoin into sats at some point?
Control isn't just about taxes. Does the electricity provider control you because you pay them money for their services?
#Bitcoin is divided into #sats since day one. If you can read the open sourced Bitcoin code, you'll see that bitcoin as a coin was never used even once. It was always sats.
How exactly are we controlling them if they still collect taxes?
If they don't have means to create money out of thin air, the government won't be able to go to the middle east and start another war. They'll have to reason with the tax payers. The tax payers have a control.
Right now, they don't care and don't ask. They just create more money out of thin air and finance whatever they want.
