Your problem is that you have yet to realize that your "cash" is backed by nothing. It never was. The people that print those papers own plenty of aspects of government. They print those papers and you're not allowed to stop them, you're not allowed to see the process, you're not allowed to see where all of the papers go and you aren't allowed to make them print less, even.

Why are you not searching for an alternative? You used to be able to buy a house for a few hundred bucks. Now it takes hundreds of thousands at a weak median. Your apathy in the face of innovation is repugnant. You are treated like cattle for good reason.

You may find an alternative if you allow yourself. All I'm doing is giving you an early warning.

Do not confuse my words. I do not enjoy what Schwab has planned, or the others he conspires with. Instead, I'm advocating for an inverted version of their plans, one where we usher in a new era of Decentralized Finance, one where humans aren't largely just debt slaves and one where we have more control over what happens to our central currency should we choose to agree to use one.

The state says no. The state has more guns. The state says we should keep centralizing everything until there is one government, one bank, one corporation, one capital, and the world outside of it is filled with destitute slums. And swarms of drones, to prevent people from doing things without a license. What now?

Everyone knows. But your physical account can't just "accidentally" get canceled. They have to catch you, beat you, do something with you. Something, that other people can see.

I don't need to play your game of hypotheticals. Thanks though.

This makes your first point sort of awkward, doesn't it?

Hipotheticals? Have you missed all the recent anti-bitcoin laws? The governments don't want any decentralization. They won't allow it.

Awkward? Have you missed all the recent account cancellations that dissidents and disobedient companies got to enjoy all around the world? Not only from the banks.

I'm not here offering you my attention so you can "what if" me over and over.

How? Where are you planning to get the power to fight against the combined forces of all the states on this planet?

It will take a lot more than riches and muscle.

I'm not an army, sure, but you seem to be advocating for apathy. Be my guest.

If you don't share Schwab's dystopian vision, perhaps you should have phrased the topic differently, because right now it sounds like you are an apologist for Schwab's great reset plan.

I'd like to explain why this is the wrong sentiment to have.

Sure, that could have been worded better. Maybe it should have read something like, "The Great Reset, as planned by Schwab and his ilk, isn't what we want, but there is an alternative."
