At least the bitcoin dominance is climbing 😅

Preserving purchasing power is not enough. Buying gold may help guard your wealth against inflation — and that is certainly worthwhile. But what we are fighting for transcends economic stability alone. What is at risk is our autonomy, our dignity, and the very possibility of a free future. Governments are not merely content with issuing digital IDs and rolling out central bank digital currencies; they are building surveillance ecologies: facial recognition systems, automated license-plate readers that track your movements everywhere, AI-enhanced data collection, and robots patrolling public spaces. These tools are no longer the stuff of speculative fiction. They are being deployed today. Imagine, then, a future where any transaction, any movement, any conversation — if conducted outside state-sanctioned digital frameworks — is forbidden or unobtainable. It will matter little if you preserved your purchasing power in gold or stocks, if all financial activity is forced onto platforms you cannot trust. If every medium of value is centrally managed, every identity strictly monitored, every dissenting voice traceable, then wealth itself becomes shackled. Lately I’ve watched many Bitcoin podcasts, and I often hear gold lauded as the ultimate safeguard. But if we care about freedom — truly — then Bitcoin and related technologies are not optional extras. They are essential infrastructure in the fight against total surveillance. Every dollar channelled into gold, silver, or even stocks — rather than into Bitcoin (add nostr) — strengthens the apparatus of control. It gives a little more legitimacy to the status quo; it delays the momentum toward alternative forms of power and autonomy.
