This has nothing to do with vaccines anymore. This is about the government putting those who dare buck them back in their place. Any they’re happy to declare whatever emergency or crisis that allows them the extraordinary power to accomplish that. Trudeau will never come off his position, the only recourse is to do everything possible to make these protesters lives so miserable or expensive they’re forced to go home. The people cheering on the Canadian government do so because they agree with this particular issue. They’re too short sighted to understand that this same playbook could be run against them on the next issue they disagree with.

If they end this with these strategies, the next one will be violent. Whenever and wherever it arises.

OK, so now that I've read what @theFallGuy shared, Canadians can bypass what the government is doing by setting up their own wallets and not relying on exchanges. Exchanges refi defi, if you know what I mean. So they can still get $ to these protesters, it just can't be on these exchanges.

The fact that we're so many years into this "currency" and most people still don't know how to do this kind of illustrates the problem with it, no?

What problem does it illustrate? Do people not know how to do it or they just haven't had a reason to, yet?

They can’t reverse at this point without being seen as capitulating.

You can see this all over the place:
- cloth/paper masks
- masking kids in school
- mRNA shots to prevent infection and transmission
- lockdowns and shutdowns
- lack of inexpensive therapeutics

All now BS, but walking it back would be admitting that our governments/advisory committees/Fauci were wrong, so nobody is willing to eat crow.

My sister set up her own wallet. If you knew my sister, you would know the large majority of people that would use crypto have the tech capability to set up a wallet.

Getting people to set up bank accounts was a barrier for the evolution of banking (and still is in lots of the world). I guess it was "a problem" but not "the problem" and I'm still not sure what you mean by that.

You can nitpick. If you want to make the case that there may be a few arguments left standing after all of this Canadian stuff, I will let you have that.

But when the dust settles, these cryptos will be severely diminished in the eyes of a lot of people in terms of the bold claims made about them being an escape hatch, anonymity and a way to circumvent govts.

It's not nitpicking. The only value you seem to put on crypto is its anonymity, ability to circumvent government, etc. I find crypto highly valuable and those components have almost nothing to do with the value I put on this tech.

I've never downplayed the value of block chain technology. But lets be real here. Most of the people pumping cryptos are investors speculators that show that they are only interested in their use as currency. Your perception of cryptos is just that, your personal and individual perception. But don't assume that your opinion is the majority view.

I didn't. I'm just saying "all" is wildly exaggerated. The guy who says "all" and then says the person saying "not all" is nitpicking is probably the one applying his view to the majority.

My goodness... first off, I stated they would "all" be put to the test... I didn't say they would be debunked. And secondly, it was simply a general statement that you are taking too literally. Obviously, there are exceptions to every rule. I was generalizing and trying to make a bigger point. Could I have said "most" or "some" instead of "all"? Sure. If it will make you happy, I'll backpeddle and say that instead.

Ah ok.

There are truckers up in Canada that are protesting. Govt is not amused.

These truckers can raise $Millions in support. But they can’t seem to take possession of any of it…..

The .gov keeps finding a way to stand in the middle of the transaction.

I always laughed when I heard someone say "decentralized" or "the governments can't touch crypto."
