"Also, state-regulated infrastructure has been in a state of decline for far too long" You got a good point there. That's a really valid point. At least in Western countries. They will try anyway. The inflation tax is simply too tempting. Something will come - taxes on fictitious Bitcoin profits or something. Nobody knows for sure. The more data they have, the uglier it will get. Let's hope the institutions are overwhelmed by everything when the time comes. They can't take your Bitcoin without your consent, that's pretty sure. Not like the Dollars they took away from Russia.
