This is not true at all. If the government doesn't want you to do something with your money its only a matter of time to catch up.

So you got untouchable by the banks because you participated in a political uprising that failed? You think that crypto will save you? Think again because it's only matter of time before the government makes it illegal to accept payments from that alternative payment method.

The only thing that works in cash. The electronic stuff don't work because they by design work by bookkeeping(remember the ledger on the blockchain) and when there is a bookkeeping there are ways to trace and prevent.

The government can also make the use of cash illegal. They can also put a huge dent into encrypted messaging by sending anyone caught using straight to the electric chair. They can drag you out of your home at night. (So can your neighbour for that matter).

The argument was never that crypto is some kind of magic shield against bullets. It's simply a tool. It raises the cost of certain kinds of abuses for the state. In the balance between the individual and the state, it shifts the power, ever so slightly, to the former.

In that regard, crypto is like hard to use easy to lose cash.

Cash, unlike crypto, is hard to trace. The best can do is to use chemical markers.

Government making cash illegal doesn’t mean much as it is pure p2p with no integrated bookkeeping or remote sensing.

And the people who got their bank accounts closed will move to using bitcoin and live their lives? I guess maybe 10 (non-homeless) people can do that. It seems like all of these crypto-bullish scenarios are made up by 20-year-olds without analytical ability and with very little adult life experience.
