Not likely! Transferred most of my liquid savings into Sats over the year after discovering Bitcoin. To hold my savings directly and avoid the parasitic intermediaries that are the banks- Never regretted that decision and tbh surprised and amazed how Bitcoin has survived and thrived and my savings have multiplied...will want to stick with Sats SoV integrity as savings no matter what the fiat parasites do to try to stop it or contain it...and that is why I am discussing it-just want to be able to spend as well as save in the currency free of debasement. Acknowledging the ruthlessness and determination of the most powerful wealthy cartel on the planet (the fiat debt slavery bankers cartel) does not mean I must submit to it. Instead, denying their proven track record of market manipulating price fixing power broking nepotism and anti competitive behaviour is to fail to recognise the nature of the problem and in itself a form of submission more likely to lead to failure than acknowledging it and facing up to it.

You just sounded a bit fatalistic. Sounds like you aren't. I do not doubt these evil men will stop at nothing but I just think they will fail. I doubt I will live to see it but that's fine with me.

What gives me fear is the number of people who think it is inevitable and we can just sit back and watch Bitcoin triumph - that seems naive in view of known history around fiat money. Bitcoin provides an alternative to Fiat money and by its design contrasts and highlights the flaws inherent in Fiat... But if enough people do not both recognise this and act on it there is no guarantee Bitcoin will eventually dominate- that is the point of my post. To raise the issues and alert the community to the scale of sly obstruction that has already occurred and its agenda to divert Bitcoin into relatively harmless perception and use as a commodity rather than a P2P MoE. The agenda (including KYC data and ever increasing institutional custody could ultimately provide pretext and the ability to impose a ban on private custody. Let's learn from history E.O. 6102!
