Topic: Freedom of speech soon to become a mirage. Will Bitcoin still be here by 2030? - page 2. (Read 362 times)

CBDC's are coming. Sunak is a strong supporter of digital currencies, and he might well be the first country leader to institute central banks regulated digital currencies in Europe. This is soon to be happening and our freedom will become extremely blurry and eventually fade away... Cointelegraph posted an interesting article about it!

It's not a lot of time left for 2030 and I personally don't think they can restrict us from speaking or believing anything.
I am literally shocked to know about the global social credit scoring system. I wonder how they are planning on to implement it.
Whatever it is, it must not be implemented because this kind of system will give the governments more power to control the people.
Moreover, we are not slaves so that can score us. I am sure there will be more manipulation, corruption etc.. as soon as this so called system is impelmented.

Freedom of speech and doings has come to stay, nothing would arrest it this time when more countries are adopting democracy as a system of government. As some governments introduce some unfriendly policies, freedom fighters will continue to spring up to counter them. Also, considering the links I read from the OP, I would not take those words seriously unless I could read them from trusted sites or hear them from a better news outlet.

Even at that, Bitcoin will not be affected by all of those, many countries have tried their worst but here is Bitcoin still standing and well appreciated by many.

Not all countries are open for freedom of speech, actually I don't think someone who make such conspiracy is actually a good thing, most people make a bad conspiracy who doesn't have any proof to back their own words.

I think we can still have freedom of speech on internet existence as long as we're not creating any account with personal information and using our real IP address to access a website. But Bitcoin will still become freedom of choice since it's decentralized and can't be shut down by government.

2030 is just 8 years away, that is long but not that long. Bitcoin has faced its worst time with people and countries not believing in it until they started to believe in it and the adoption grows. Bitcoin offer a decentralized means of payment and a privacy and freedom means of holding it in a way to resist much pressure from government and regulators unlike fiat and other means that are centralized. Yet, even many of the government officials like how bitcoin is. This should not be a debate that bitcoin will still exist by 2030, if bitcoin won't exist by 2030 as a result of regulation and government, it will not still be existing by now, but its nice design makes it to exist.

To be fair, if we look at our past, freedom of speech is a lot stronger now. It helps that there is an online universe where people have a sort of an alternate existence. It has become more or less a safe haven for those who wish to keep their identities hidden while being candid with their opinions. There is also a growing movement now for the same freedom in strict countries like Iran or China.

Bitcoin will remain to be a symbol of resistance whatever happens. It can't be censored. Totalitarian governments may attempt to stop it, but they would never succeed.

I'll say yes to those conspiracies who believe climate change is not true, and those who believe conspiracies who cause trouble physically when they're trying to prove their beliefs without giving strong valid proof.

As long it won't be labeled as misinformation, it's no problem but if it going out of hand then that it will give much trouble and need for solution.

Well, i don't think anything that bitcoin will be affected by it. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are back with math, and math don't lies.
Now if someone says that bitcoin will resolve anything in this world, now thats not about math, its conspiracy. Lmao.

We're moving towards a pro-paternalistic and pro-surveillance regime, no doubt. I don't want to think pessimistically, and expect to have no right to speech, no right to choose, no right to my money, and no right to think, nor do I believe we're going in that direction absolutely, but I hold no doubt that we'll witness events such as social credit scores, repealing of physical cash, fall in private financing, etc., and generally sacrifice more and more freedom for comfort and social safety.

What I like about bitcoin is that it can help us resist without violence. All that's needed is a merchant accepting it, and a customer willing to pay with it. No elections, no promises, no outsider that can fuck with this simple process. It's as simple as handing over a dollar bill, only that this can't be purposefully debased. So, yeah. I think it can serve its purpose, even in a society that puts equality above freedom. I'm actually looking forward to see it working; that's undoubtedly going to be the great test.

It's been long proven and we'll known that anything produced in the AI space at the moment adopts the biases of its creator/developers (as they're the ones feeding it with their own judgements). If something like surveillance were to be done on a large scale and by AI it'd end up marginalising minorities.

In a way, I don't think this would lead to an end of things like bitcoin and other decentralised projects but it might lead to higher amounts of more restrictive regulation targetted at impaling the consumer but advertising it's in their best interest. Where such a system has been implemented in the past, China, a lot of companies have already left (especially tech startups) and I think this will be seen to be happening more and more in any country that considers adopting such systems. There's a difference between making sites warn they're unregulated and adding lots of barriers for them to be able to function - it seems more and more that regulation is geared towards conserving wealth and companies competitiveness without them having to compete with newer more efficient companies, but this might and probably will change at some point soon enough due to voting pressure (or market pressure - it's harder to regulate your borders information wise now - companies can function internationally without licenses/tax/fees if their host doesn't have them).

This is being planned. Yes, guys. They are planning our future without our consent. While "A french secretary of state just explicitly said on a french news channel that they are looking for ways to report fellow citizens for belief in conspiracy theories", the WEF is working to implement a Global Social credit scoring system along with their Digital Identity imposition and their Smart Cities Governance scheme (which btw, they say it is to protect citizens). They hope to have this all playing out by 2030. Looks pretty scary to me...


"You will own nothing and you will be happy"

And what are you going to do about it?

Will Bitcoin be a way to escape the Great Reset or will it perish?
