Freedom of speech soon to become a mirage. Will Bitcoin still be here by 2030?

The world is definitely becomingly increasingly authoritarian.  Although (slightly off-topic) France, of all places, is a fairly resilient populace who know their rights and are fully prepared to take to social disorder to uphold those rights.  Full respect to them.  Lawmakers will find it difficult to push that through there.

Other places I could definitely see sliding towards totalitarianism, though.

This is being planned. Yes, guys. They are planning our future without our consent. While "A french secretary of state just explicitly said on a french news channel that they are looking for ways to report fellow citizens for belief in conspiracy theories", the WEF is working to implement a Global Social credit scoring system along with their Digital Identity imposition and their Smart Cities Governance scheme (which btw, they say it is to protect citizens). They hope to have this all playing out by 2030. Looks pretty scary to me...


"You will own nothing and you will be happy"

And what are you going to do about it?

Will Bitcoin be a way to escape the Great Reset or will it perish?

This is ironic taking in consideration the fact that so far with all the technological advancements free speech has actually become a reality and can reach thousands or even millions of people at once. But thinking that just in a matter of few years we will be in such a scenario where we won't be able to exercise this very power itself seems pretty scary to me honestly. I think one can't really do anything about it individually you just have to make sure you select the correct global leaders who advocate free speech instead of ones who merely pretend to advocate the same. Talking about bitcoin even the freedom of that would become like a mirage if such a thing takes place.

Freedom of speech has always been an illusion specially in democracies. Basically you are free to do or say whatever the regime likes and if you do anything they don't like (eg. choose an alternative money they can not control) they will treat you the harshest way possible.
The more their democracy modern dictatorship is threatened the more violent they are going to get. Look at what French authorities have been doing to the protesters (eg. Yellow Vests). This is even worse in times of crisis like an economic crisis that they are facing...

If you say especially in democracy in what system freedome of speech is better? I think you are a little bit blinded by the media, since yes the protests are being controls when they turn violent but still you can say what every you want in the media or in a peaceful way.

Totalitarian governments does not last long.... once people got used to freedom ..and it gets taken away, they start to fight back and that manifest in the form of riots. Dictators gets assassinated ...and people replace them with leaders that fit their purpose.

"The French Revolution was a period of major social upheaval that began in 1787 and ended in 1799. It sought to completely change the relationship between the rulers and those they governed and to redefine the nature of political power." - https://www.britannica.com/event/French-Revolution

I think "leaders" forget very quickly and then history needs to repeat it self.

Unfortunately I have not yet seen any system that has true freedom of speech. It is not about controlling protests either, it is about speaking about "dirty government" in which case you will be silenced if your voice starts to be heard (they don't silence every idiot on the internet that talks about such matters).
For the most recent example google "ABC news reporter home raided". He wasn't "violent" or "protesting" he simply talked about the dirtiness in US government regarding how they started Ukraine war so he was "deleted" immediately.

I can tell you that it is at least not the fault of democracy since for example here in Germany you can even read in the state news every few days stuff about dirty deals from the government. You can not spread lies without proof but if it makes sense there will be no way that you are stopped. This is mostly a result of strict rules from the post nazi era. So it is always what people make out of it, but for shure it is not a direct result of the political system.

Since freedom of speech is often associated with political circumstances, I honestly don't see that financial freedom will still be in one context or at least will interfere with certain political interests (within the remaining 8 years threshold). Isn't it even better to support a stream if they wanna realize the aspirations of the public, eg. if bitcoin is the most desirable thing?

[Techkoy407]

bitcoin in my opinion will still exist, with the progress of the times like now, bitcoin will continue to grow and develop.
Internet users are increasingly crowded, as well as many digital transactions have been practicing.
and it's all bound to more or less lead
on progress.

the number of Indonesian crypto asset customers reached 7.5 million people late last year. The number has almost doubled compared to 2020, which was only four million people.

That's a significant feature and a positive thing for crypto/bitcoin.

Freedom of speech is doomed to be a mirage. I guess ever since the beginning,  freedom of speech has been more like a slogan which would never be achieved in reality. This is what we need to be clear of. Just keep in mind what we should say at the right time in the right place.
