Look, the man pointing the finger and the man who is being pointed at are all the same. All I'm saying is, everything is a game, fiat game, played between two sides of a coin. Don't let them confuse you. There's no good guy here. Much better, bitcoin.

China and Russia have banned MoE use of BTC by the individual. They are both authoritarian autocracies. While I agree everyone should be free to trade using whichever currency they choose, without freedom of speech there is no free market and freedom of speech does not exist in Russia or China.

You said it well. But it wasn't freedom of speech that was snatched from the people first, it was their purchasing power that was taken away first. As such, only sound money can buy and sustain freedom of speech.

Russia and China are more advanced on introducing CBDC than anyone else. China already has them and Russia is introducing them next year. https://russiaspivottoasia.com/russian-banks-instructed-to-permit-client-use-of-digital-rubles-from-july-1-2025/ If you think these autocrats will allow their citizens Bitcoin MoE let alone freedom of speech you are dreaming.
