I live in Europe, and I was at first dreading the eID and CBDC they’re trotting out, but I think it will probably fail.

I could be wrong, but the current situation can’t hold. They can’t rack up this kind of debt relative to their productive capacity and not have the system collapse, so of course they’re going to try to seize control while they still have some power left. This isn’t some master plan, it’s overreach out of desperation. No one wants or needs this except them.

You should be happy when your opponent out of desperation makes a rash move he would not otherwise make. It means you are about to win if you don’t blow it and panic.

the eID is bullish for NOSTR, the CBDC is bullish for bitcoin.

And if I’m wrong, I’ll deal with that then. But for now I think this is basically a Hail Mary.
