If they give them to me in a free UBI-type fashion and I can buy things that I would purchase anyway, then I don't see not taking "free" money. That being said, it's also obvious that there are certain items that gov's will not allow us to purchase (and increasingly draconian infringements of freedom built in) and for those, a parallel economy with bitcoin at the forefront must develop. I think this is why it is integral to continue to build the spend and replace model rather than everyone in the community just HODLing. But the eventual answer is "try to escape", whatever means the situation will require.
LOL another one bargaining his freedom for convenience...
