I see people here talking about blockchain "wealth", but I don't see tangibility. The only thing of real value is precious metals and other tangibles. Blockchain wealth is similar to paper currency in that it is based on confidence and fluctuates. Gold is the standard and everything fluctuates around it including paper currency. An ounce of gold will buy the same tangible asset today that it bought 1000 years ago. In other words a piece of land you bought 1000 years ago for an ounce of gold is the same value today unless there have been value-added improvements to the land or area around it.
One way that governments control populations is to turn off utilities. Water is usually first, but with device addiction the way it is maybe turning off the electricity would bring faster submission.
