The government should serve the people. The people should not be coerced to serve the government.

These policies are unlikely to be blatant theft, it's going to be things like we are going in the UK, changing tax treatment to encourage more investment ISAs instead of cash ISAs.

This is the government coercing people to take risks that they didn't want to.

I will preach that we need to invest instead of save because of inflation (another coercive tactic btw) but now people like my mum feel pressured to use stocks and shares ISAs and only because my dad is there to help, I don't worry, but I've seen her tendency to panic and leading her to stocks and shares would otherwise be like leading her to self custody with the coldcard with no explanation.

When we think this is all "because of the times" we accept it, but it is really "by design" and that's not acceptable.
Rustin caught the FDIC on camera in 2022 admitting they can bail in your deposits but chose not to tell the public.

Now Ursula von der Leyen is floating the idea of using uninvested savings for defense.

Global money supply just added another 10.7 trillion in a year.

The system already has the switch.

Bitcoin is the one account they cannot reach.
