* Monero under loads of txpool attacks * Rune tokens and ordinals also driving load to bitcoin blockspace * USA Election year * The current administration began publicly R&D for CBDCs over 2 years ago giving it more time to develop * Brazillian government silencing speech and becoming more dictatorial every day * Less and less right wing protests, less and less participants * Rumble blocked in Brazil * New term invented by the EU "unhosted wallets" to possibly be regulated * Life getting more and more unaffordable due to the effects of inflation * Physical cash getting less accepted everywhere I wonder, if another COVID or similar era of tyranny were to happen AGAIN, how different will things go? will it be harder or easier to fight back this time around?
