Reminds me a lot of one of the skits that Eddie Izzard does.  He has a whole piece where he goes on about flags and how they were used to take over countries  It is pretty funny but so true at the same time.  Perhaps one day we will be fully decentralized.

Yea. I saw it too. The proof of work concept was hardly kicked against, but the majority carried the vote. It's not that they don't understand the power behind it, but they are just afraid that it WILL take over their rules and render them useless with time. 

They want the power of control to remain within their spheres. But the blockchain has disrupted it so gallantly, so the only way they have is to pull a voting stunt against it. It's so interesting they couldn't beat it. SEE! It's high time they begin to understand that it's better to join than to fight. 

The decentralized concept can only die (maybe) when the internet seizes to exist. 

***FAR FROM WHAT CAN HAPPEN***

(Getting back to hive a lot later than normal, dropped a comment on your other post thanks for the tag :D) 

It’s crazy what’s going on. This is absolute testing grounds for the agenda they want and are actively pushing. It’s terrifying because of the fucked up shit they want and will end up doing with this if we don’t wrestle some control back from these animals. Soon it will be zero protesting or your assets are frozen, as we saw in Canada. Then if you don’t comply with the latest scam to control you, assets are also frozen. So many ways these crazy fucks are going to try to coerce and force people into doing things their way. I know there’s a lot of important things going on with crypto and even internationally that are beneficial though, they are showing their cards and did so quite prematurely with Canada in my opinion. People who don’t want to be messed with are making moves into decentralization and also taking steps to protect themselves, their families and what assets they can. I think if they didn’t do the shit they did, and didn’t do it in Russia now as well, people would still be blaisé about it all. Let’s just hope that we can affect change before it’s too late! This issue is the most important issue in modern human history I think. 

Also isn’t it funny how all of a sudden gun control isn’t an issue for people and handing civilians guns is totally fine to fight those Ruskies? Ah the hypocrisy. 

It is an interesting thing - the thing line between control and freedom. I believe it requires a balancing act. In the crypto space for instance, if regulators must come in and be accepted it must be as partners interested in the next financial technological revolution and not simply as obstructionists and control freaks

Basically I say you let us build the space and do what we want, but call out the bad eggs who abuse the freedom and use it for evil

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask  @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome. <br></br><br><b>They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years.</b></br><br></br> What would you say while having a gun pointed at your head from an undisclosed location? Have people find it? My hands are tied while they play like children with a gun to my head. Its a terrorist act on American soil while some yawn and say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth? https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism

MAN indeed has actually dominated to his injuries, somehow I fear that this war won't cause them to place a ban on crypto since it is borderless.

I believe the EU and the US are also trying to make their own digital system right now. The executive order by Biden was looking into that option so I wonder if they believe that they can just shove people onto their system or not. Either way, I am glad the thing got shot down.

You make a solid point about turning the tables and having economic sanctions applied to us. It's funny, it very much sits OK with me when it's an 'Us vs Them', and we're the 'Us'. 

> Voting is important.
Vote to opt out of the economy as it stands.
And opt into building a better one.

Vote with your spending, first. There be relatively healthy and sustainable industries.

Within the current continuously increasing in terms of complexity and uselessness framework, though, even providing sustenance becomes unsustainable.

I’ve been trying to figure out how the EU planned to enforce this. For years, crypto people have believed that governments can’t control Bitcoin. Would that have magically changed because the EU said so?

Financial control is the most utilized weapon in wars. The current has showed us why and how warring parties could utilize the financial tools they control to manage war. Having upper hand is always beneficial but the dollarized financial system we witness this time must have triggered panic to many nation states out there.

It's okay, people can still identify by country or at leasy by continent even if/when the country borders get a bit vague 
XD

I don't know if it's a these days thing because people move around more or if it's an always thing that just happened but I feel like cultural ties are stronger than actual country ties (so I think I'm agreeing with you but I'm not sure XD).

Luckily, in a few months, just about the only relevant chain still using PoW will be Bitcoin, and since it is so introduced in the institutions, I don't think governments will even think about locking it.

> This doesn't mean governance won't happen, it is just that we will have the power to unite groups of decision-makers and, disband them on the fly, meaning that in order for them to have power, we need to provide it. Stake it, Delegate it, and then they will have to prove they will use it in our best interest - or they will lose the delegation.

It is already happening at a small scale in DAOs, and I believe sooner or later countries and states will slowly move into a [liquid democracy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy) where citizens will have a continuous power of decision vote instead of every several year elections.

I did read somewhere about Putin wanting to get rid of the Petrol-Dollar, being the reason he invaded Ukraine, i'm in no way knowledgeable enough to pass on the information but it's well worth a look. I found it interesting but like anything you read with your coffee in the morning, my attempt to pass on the information is utterly poor. Still, i do not condone violence. 

> As I see it and many might disagree, financial control is more important than gun control and has far more of an impact.

That's why they have been expanding the sanctions against Russia day by day.

Countries are only interested in production, money and industrialization. They don't care about environmental problems , people's awareness is not for their interest. In my opinion, we should not have relations with the state and be independent in our business fields, what do you think?
