it's good for the pleb because it's freedom money that can't be debased. A gov doesn't want or need freedom money, it needs to control, surveil, punish, and debase to keep exports competitive or whatever.
Agree that a gov wants that, but why do the plebs, like sheep, so willingly comply? They can just, you know, leave; opt out.
