>If I'm correct, the key indicator will be right wing governments around the globe being paid off to allow the abuse to continue and their media going on the attack.
>Communist computer scientists, what do they know? They just want to keep the poor white men from getting rich because of political correctness etc. etc. Anyone seen any signs of that yet?
This strikes me as a rather wrong-headed take. What I've actually seen happen is several statist types propose creating a centralized (government controlled and monitored) digital currency in response to the rise of cryptocurrencies. China's e-CNY is the most obvious example, but there have been similar proposals from politicians and bureaucrats in the US, EU, and elsewhere, with the idea being that the governments can track financial activity even more closely than they already can.
FWIW, I'm pretty anti-crypto and think there are better alternatives for 99% of the things I see crypto proposed as a solution for.
