Power is the ability to enforce your will, and for that, it's better to deprive free choice.
Considering that, it's smart to don't trust a power entity, because his interest is not yours by definition.
Monero is free choice about money, a money that can't be deprived because you own the access key, a money that can't be spied because it's fungible, every transactions are anonymous, by so, miners can't target individuals, Monero is a good money because it's supply can't be cheated by a few powerful entities.
Because all of that, they are trying to deprive us of a free money, it's not about anything else but power, the question now is : what will you do with this free choice about money ? Fall to enforced CBDC or use your free will to squeeze it ?
