If they are smart, locking down control of the supply chain for daily basic needs should be a priority. Shelter, water, food, fuel, & waste management must be under control in order to truly be self-sovereign.
Sats are a means to an end, not the end in themselves. When cold, hungry, and thirsty without power or cooking fuel, no amount of satoshis will help. You'll still be dependent on trading your sats for these daily basic needs. Provide them for yourself and you can Hodl on to your heart's delight.
If you look at economic collapses historically, everyone ends up giving everything to the farmers. No food, no life.
That’s assuming every single sovereign government on earth would be more interested in the welfare of others and not themselves.Last time I checked, men do not act altruistic towards others especially those they do not know.
Secondly, men don’t just automatically lose their houses, food, utilities etc. when transitioning from one monetary network to another. But I’ll agree it is important to decentralize our food system. A centralized food system is more prone to attacks. If you haven’t met your local organic farmer, now may be a good time.
Lastly, competition for bitcoin has already begun and governments will need residents and civilians to help build and maintain their sovereign nation. Restricting humans with basic necessities does absolutely nothing for their own self interests.
This may take many decades, but there will be many pro #bitcoin sovereign nations and bitcoiners will vote with their feet. Those nations will obvious prosper by adopting a bitcoin standard.
