 Fully agree. I made this connection clear on my newsletter last week.

If X becomes the everything app that Elon wants, the clone of WeChat for the Western world, and it has your biometrics as part of the onboarding process, then you’re screwed. 

What will happen when you get banned from X because you said the wrong thing? Will you get a new set of eyes to create a new account? 
 On Balkan we don't need X, blue checks, or apps in particular. We are not the only one. Salary has not increased but prices did. Maybe people will realize they do not own much value and will turn to trade incorporating lightning. Setting their own prices independent from fiat.
