Yup. It's a trap. Everybody believes that the end is near for hegemony of the USD. When it all comes crashing down, those in power want to stay in power and will have the contingency plan ready.

Like I've said already, we're just livestock to them. It's still open range and they don't want us to stampede, at least until the perimeter is secured.

Cryptos is a nice little game, a circus to get us used to digital money and keep us occupied while the fence is going up. That is why it is imperative we prepare, gain real skills that we can trade and begin the process of dropping out of the economy.

In the meantime, Steemit offers unparalleled access to diverse ideas and profit potential until the endgame becomes obvious to all.

Even the best laid plans are subject to blowback. Hopefully, at some point people will figure out alternatives to government hegemony and walk away. Humanity always comes up with some new gimmick to monkey-wrench their plans. Some of us will never accept totalitarianism.
