Their playbook:

- Implement KYC & ATF & financial surveillance

- Limit withdrawals & cash payments

- Make all money digital and/or a CBDC

- Freeze or unbank anyone threatening your power

- Weaponize the financial system to limit free speech

- Run up debt & implement negative yields & haircuts on citizen savings

Your counter-strategy:

- Buy Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin

- Self custody all (or at least some of) your Bitcoin

- Run a full node

- Protect your speech with NOSTR

Threatening *their power ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Any proof or just a theory?

Governments are either already doing these things across EU, North America, Asia & Africa or signaled their interest - listen to activist stories (Gladstein often tells them) including the canadian truckers protest bank freezes, review current EU laws being voted on wrt cash limits & see the interest in CBDCs. See Brazil & Russia wrt free speech. See Cyprus haircuts & BIS thinking on negative rates.

Theyโ€™re just not smart enough or motivated enough to keep up, free lunches make you complacent and lazy.
