The ability to move your money and identity globally offers some protection due to escapism via Bitcoin and Nostr, in the really rough scenarios. Like Venezuela.
Locally, we should note that it’s not like Telegram users are arrested. That would be unworkable. Only the CEO was. The more individual a policy gets, the more expensive and unpopular it is to enforce. There is no CEO of Bitcoin or Nostr.
The1930s gold ban was brutal, but hardly ever enforced. Going after individuals was both expensive and unpopular. That applies today as well. And information travels faster now. We should use it.
Structural debasement requires obfuscation in order to secure unaware seigniorage from its public. The more that it’s brought to public awareness, the weaker it is.
What you can do: make money honest again.
Make them tell us our laws.
Make them tell us we can’t hold sound money.
Make them tell us we can’t transmit digital money to our friends like we would with cash. And then ask why.
Make them tell us they need to tax us, because they can’t quietly debase us.
Make it more transparent. Shine a light on it and ask people if it’s just.
