What happens is that governments are still operating under the premise they can deceive and coerce their citizens to do what they want, and if there is something history show us is that governments can have some control over their citizens, but if things go out control, especially the economy, then that control evaporates, fiat currencies are a failed experiment and it is just a matter of time before they collapse, and once they do people will never forget it thanks to the internet and social media, and at that time people will reject CBDCs regardless of any incentive or threat governments could make.
Well, that is quite true though, governments CAN deceive and coerce their own citizens, even manipulate them to do whatever they want. This isn't really a shocking turn of events, I believe that it could continue to be like this for a long time. I am guessing that the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that you are doing a better job at it, and for that to happen you need to realize you can't check the media, because if you check the media in EVERY channel there are lies.
Some believe the ones they believe and think the other side is lying, that's not true, every single one of them lies, not even a single one of them tells the truth. This is why we believe that it is not going to be easy and will have some hard time for sure.
And I agree, it is going to be very difficult to get people to wake up to the fact that a great deal of things they know and that they take for granted were lies, and in order for this to happen then we will need an event that wakes them up and shocks them to their core, and a financial crisis way worse than the great depression will without a doubt change the way people look at all the information they have been exposed all their lives, and finally reject a part of the excessive control the governments want to exert over them.
