why is causing a pandemic not enough to create political capital to do something with? why is it only fucking Rand Paul out there trying to point the finger at these people who caused it. why is it Tony Blair and Bill Gates are the only ones who can capitalise on this to push everyone into the digital certificate panopticon. the narrative is just waiting there to be picked up by any capable political operator

@Cleisthenes I'm a little bit more pessimistic.

I think China will never go decentralized. They want to be the next big empire, and they can't (because China sucks), so they'll cling to every bit of power they have to impose their vision to the world.

Brazil is too much in debt to disobey overlords' orders.

Russia? It's too conservative for such a bold move, I think.

I am looking forward to Africa adopting cryptos officially. They have nothing to lose, the elites shit on them every day, they have plenty of resources and too much corruption, a problem that bitcoin solves elegantly.

Maybe Vietnam or S. Korea could follow, idk.

I am assuming most of Central and South America will follow El Salvador's lead regarding Bitcoin. I feel like the risk is relatively low for them and they are probably thinking its protection against USD inflation.

If Mexico and Brazil make the move then I'd think Russia and China would be weighing it as well. If they do then you'll see war to keep PetroDollar on top.

China may be reticent to do it though since we owe them so much which could be why US wants to stay in debt to China so it is also a partner in propping up USD. At least until USGov secures enough coin.

Just spitballin'

@Cleisthenes the US staying in debt to China for the dollars sale isn't something I'd considered, good point
