That’s where the real danger lies.
With KYC, they already know who holds Bitcoin. If digital ID becomes mandatory, it’s not hard to imagine a world where those same people can simply be “turned off” accounts frozen, exchanges geo-fenced, access denied.
Now imagine if that same digital ID is linked directly to internet access itself. ISPs could be compelled to restrict or monitor what you do online, or even cut off your connection entirely if you fall outside the “approved” parameters.
It wouldn’t even need to be a total ban, just quiet de-banking and silent disconnection, one person at a time until compliance becomes normalised. The infrastructure for that already exists, buried under layers of “safety” and “trust.”
This isn’t paranoia; it’s pattern recognition. Every safeguard can be flipped into a control mechanism once the political wind shifts.
