It sounds good on a surface but such transformation takes years, how will they prosper as the government beneficiaries, hooked on UBI, tech surveiled, totally controlled slaves is still a valid question.
No right to protest as their UBI and digital wallet gets cut off.
Restricted purchase, food rations, all of it will resemble nightmares from communistic regimes.
Nowadays they see Bitcoin as an investment vehicle, soon it will be seen the currency of freedom.
There is very little hope for a balance, I think it is very naive to think there is a room for it, there are far too many red flags everywhere, too little pushback against it, far too many will wake up one day asking "how has this happened"
All we can do is keep building, keep educating others about the tools they have, to resist the Digital Big Brother
