Something interesting that I have read in these last days is the situation, very much in the background, that is happening in part of the United States with the strange shortage of coins. In these atypical times, the lack of cash has been accelerated by the pandemic, but for many it serves as an excuse to implement means for greater population control.
I have already commented on this point on other occasions, and that is that blockchain technology and its private part are being directed towards a system accessible to control and monitoring by governments and institutions. Aggressively, we have begun to see creations of systems and digital currencies, some in concept others already more advanced, with the intention of curtailing a good part of our privacy, now knowing that we spend or how we use our income.
It is only necessary to read and know the nature of currencies such as the digital yuan, where beyond wanting to be part of the elite of global exchange currencies and being the direct competition of the dollar, it is a direct interaction tool in a system designed to complete a massive and unique control. Other initiatives will not be left behind, and beyond providing a convenience that bets on the speed and efficiency of cashless payments, they will see a freedom written in a contract with small letters of submission.
The premise that many have and preserve that with the fading of the pandemic, normality will return, but this is far from being true, at least in the short and medium term; These changes are unavoidable, as well as the presence of bitcoin that bothers for reverence and freedom, so this type of centralized digital initiatives will be part of the daily life of people.
This type of ideas cannot be reversed, some are already materialized, but their concept and use can be mitigated, migrating towards an evolution that provides freedom, decentralization and distribution such as bitcoin and alt's.
The system pushes us towards a digital control, it is a fact, it is a reality; take control of your resources, your information, read, investigate, establish a clear line between centralization and decentralization, the battle will not be against the fiat's currencies we know, in a matter of years they will be history; the battle will be digital and bitcoin and the alt's are a source of necessary freedom; times change, you evolve.
