Thanks Sebastian for a very thought out response. But I think you should research the idea of a monopoly on violence, it is well documented by political theorists.

I think it is quite easy for those of us in the west to look at other countries and see how corrupt their entire government/system is, and how their citizens are controlled and enslaved, yet we think we are somehow "clever and classless and free", as Mr Lennon once put it. It's not true, we are still peasants. No amount of "I am different" declarations can change the fact that you are a subject to the powers that be.

However the one thing you can control is how you react to these circumstances and your advocacy for blockchain/crypto is appreciated and effective. We can agree on this much! Cheers.
