My sense is that the five eyes nations are going for a dystopic plunge and it'll be a breath holding contest amongst Bitcoiners and other freedom lovers.
100% think the same. Seems like Europe may be a bastion during the "cyber pandemic". Europe has shown strong resilience to privacy invading bills(chat control/encryption/unhosted wallet attacks😂) from being enacted recently and has the strongest privacy protecting laws already. Five eyes + brainwashed east is doomed.
