You’d be surprised how many otherwise exceptionally well informed people believe most of this. I work in the heart of the evil empire and I’ve tried to orange pill a few of my closest friends, who are very intelligent. They simply don’t see the need for freedom money, I’ve tried for years. The issue largely surrounds the concept of the Eye of Sauron turning its gaze toward them. They do not see it. further to this, they believe if it did turn toward them, Bitcoin would be no refuge as the government can shut all on and off ramps for everyone except the most technically sophisticated off.
