The Beginning of the Crypto Wars (2041):

Testimony of Sofia Moreira, a founding member of the European Blockchain Council

"In the wake of the crash, governments around the world started clamping down on cryptocurrencies. But for many of us, digital currencies weren't just about money. They represented freedom, autonomy, a new way of organizing society. We couldn't just stand by and watch it be crushed by fear and ignorance. So, we fought back. It wasn't a war we chose, but it was a war we were willing to fight. And thus, the Crypto Wars began."
