VIVA LA CRYPTO FREEDOME: Who Will Stand Up For Crypto When The System Tries To Take It Away?

There Will Come A Time To Defend Our Rights To Use Cryptocurrencies, Maybe Sooner Than Later

I don't want to start my first post of the day all doom and gloom but the more I watch the mainstream media attacks on Bitcoin and Altcoins since the recent dip, the more infuriated I am getting about the lack of truthful information being spread to downplay and scare people off of crypto. This appears to be a norm by the powers that be, to justify any course of action to point out criminals using crypto, terrorists bombing and killing through crypto finances, and even belittling the majority of crypto users that do use this in legal fashion. Lines are seriously beginning to be drawn and I seriously believe the average crypto user may need to begin taking note of where this could lead and start deciding which side of the line they can stand on firm ground about.

There is a lot of talks of tightening law enforcement on crypto. We have a law in the USA now where you have to declare over $10,000 of any assets when you leave the country. I believe this is to not protect us from the war on terror but more or less to make sure you keep your wealth in its borders and not get out of the country permanently with any funds that could sustain you outside of the country. That wall they want to build has not been erected yet but as the law books keep staking up, I believe an invisible wall to keep US citizens in has begun already.

Governments are ancient dinosaurs of a system at this stage. Crypto has come along with such advancements and such transparency that they have no clue yet how to manipulate it enough to suit their usual needs of hording power over the people and centralize this new form of finance. Bankers are coming in to test the waters I believe, and so far doing mass manipulations on our markets, first on Eth and now after some bot views I been seeing, they are spreading out keeping growth at a stagnant level. I can't confirm who is at play here but something is fishy with a few of the recent large transactions and rebuy ins to under short to keep growth down, my conspiracy mind thinks the central banking system is oddly working in order to create volatility as they began the attack on crypto.

How Much Of A Belief In Crypto Do You Hold?

The system in the coming year will begin huge tactics to criminalize crypto users I believe. Its already starting in the EU and USA in form of right now trying to sever rights to confiscate devices with any suspected illegal use of crypto. This is too broadly written up though, these coming law makers are virtually making it known they won't need search warrants to broaden their reach on crypto users.

Fighting terrorism and illegal hackers is a noble cause, I agree that wrong doers need to be dealt with but as the laws come out there is a huge open gaping hole where its possible average citizens may get tangled up in this web of crypto crackdowns. They claim to uphold citizens's right to privacy in recent outbursts but days later announce that they don't feel crypto should have any privacy built into its systems. A contradiction that could spell trouble for everyone here if it keeps getting too out of hand.

There will be a time that they will demoralize your reasons for using crypto. Mark my words this system's design disrupts their plans to continue to enslave you with fiat central banking tools. They do not believe giving power to the individual is in their best interest so in time they will try to tear this down and rebuild it in a very central way. I don't care who you are in crypto right now, if your here just for the money or like me here to help the movement get stronger so we can better the world for our children, in the end there will be a day we are all considered money laundering fools even if we pay taxes on what we earn. Its just too much power in the hands of the people, something they clearly don't want us to have anymore.

You need to decide how tough you are soon. Are you here for your children's sake for a better world? Do you view what your doing as an illegal and wise choice? Will you be strong enough to voice your opinions to justify the fact that there is nothing wrong with crypto and we must keep this for humanity? There is coming a moment in the public forum that this will be questions we must pose to society, its still small now and the powers that be are not up to the task to really look into what the people want but we must stand up for it if we truly believe in what this can do for the world.

You Are Not A Criminal

Before I end this rant, I want to empower you as you ponder how you will handle the coming pressures the dying system will put on us. Remember one thing about crypto that you need to show the world when these times come. Show them how it benefits your families in a very legal way that you no longer need to sit by and hold to the oppressing state of being poor anymore. Show the world that you do good with your earnings in crypto, charities, helping others in need is something that lacks a lot in fiat unless they can profit from it. Till we figure out how to stop the robbery of taxes, pay them their extortion so you have all legal bases covered. Don't let them make a criminal out of you for trying to break free of the enslavement that central banks have put you under.

I am firm myself to go for this for the long haul. If need be and we have to start legal proceedings in the public forum to keep this in use for everyone, so be it. In the end I just hope this will unify the world, even maybe rebuild our governments where we are in trust of each other again, with transparency of rule over us, and maybe one day actually bring in real men and women to govern us with the drive to make government listen to its people.

Ponder this for me, will you stand up for crypto when the shit hits the fan? Trust me that day will come only because they are immoral and power hungry...not because you have done anything wrong!!

Thanks will do that .. I think this cantankerous old fart might fit in lol
And I do have the odd good idea ....

Sure you will fit in, lol...we are all types of ages, creeds, just a bunch of Steemians trying to make our way in the noise of Steemit lol. I am 39, think maybe the oldest minus a few other guys my age...we all bring unique stuff to the table, thats the beauty of it

Hmmm now I feel old lol...well 57 retire in 3 years and going sailing if all goes well. Now to find the right bikink clad crew ....

lol....you are with great plans lol. Me and my fiance keep saying get a boat and just bounce around the world, find an island to call home and leave on adventures, maybe one day. Nah your not that old, its funny but society forgot that older people come with experience and wisdom...notice as I am getting older that it seems apart of the brainwashing is to forgo listening to the older crowds and favor the youthful, its kind of backwards...what is a kid gonna teach me? lol

I have met one fellow here I follow and he has a year or two on me lol
But love his wisdom and thoughts ..plus he is starting a boat adventure of his own ...https://steemit.com/@everittdmickey

Checked out his profile, yea he seems to be on point with a few of his articles. Think kids need to remember that people before them been there and done that, could kind of be a benefit to them to listen more and take heed from peoples past mistakes and successes. I have always been more involved with the older crowds myself, caught onto the benefits of listening in that way

Great post and another new project to me lol....that is exactly what we need. Before they try to rule over us here in the internet as well. I just reposted that to our pages, think a lot of people will enjoy that write up

I agree totally...
We need to stay on top of the media and tell the whole story ...
The powers that be will put there propaganda machine into full swing soon, To bad no one is listening to them anymore lmao
And there are enough of us with boots on the ground so to speak that we can help our family and friends with what is happening should they become confused...
Our biggest problem is what they will do with the pen ..as it is mightier than the sword .... but maybe not the keyboard .... But laws will be written and passed that we do not agree with ... So to the police and military please don't help them do it ... You are hurting your own families as much as ours when you enforce bad laws ...and you are the force behind there laws please think before you act...

So well said my friend. I suspect a few wise military and law enforcement will start getting the laws are beyond what the law should do, I am in hopes that when they see innocent people being snatched away from society they stand up with us. There has to be an end to the corruption and madness going on here...enough is enough. I don't care to have a war about it or hurt anyone, rather them just wake up and say okay its not working then what is the new way and work together for once but I suspect they won't...maybe but doubtful

Another problem is that there is a weak point in how the CIA, NSA, World Banks, FBI , TSA etc.. exploit the system. They can do ANYTHING, WHATEVER they want ..put out laws, enforce them, confiscate, tax etc.. even if it IS unconstitutional. Essentially, anything is legal and OK under the sun until it is RULED unconstitutional. By the time an issue makes it to court, it's too late. This whole system is a scam, most of us are aware something is wrong but so many are placated by being able to watch movies, order pizza, and have a beer or fine wine. In one of my posts, a person stated that they wanted to keep things nice and positive on Steemit. I so wish we could, I don't think people realize what they have here and how much of a target it will become...whether we acknowledge it or not.

I totally agree. So many are placated right now to just sit back and ignore the real problems. Me, I am not that type...believe I been awoken since birth and always had this inner struggle to trust the powers in charge. I follow the law of the land of course but always been on the edge of listening to the media and government. I found last year it was time to dump my usage of fiat and now fully 100% crypto minus the sad need to load my Bitpay card in fiat to pay bills. If more of use go that route it will crush that system but everyone seems to be half in and half out with crypto. Biggest issue we got for the movement side of crypto...too many coming in thinking this is the way to get rich, sure you can but its more beneficial we start expanding ideals to put more real world usage and free crypto from the ties to fiat. Regulations though will come as you stated, this is a huge brick wall soon I think we will face

We won't let them stop US !!!
I put all my hard earned money in cryptos !!
F** them !

giphy (4).gif

Amen brother, I am with you and DiCaprio on this one lol...trust me I am in for a fight if they criminalize any more crap that isn't criminal in the first place

me too, i'll be broke af** if i can't cashout my creptos ! LOOL

I will raise hell if they steal my hard earned cryptos lol. Bloggin 7 days a week is work, lol...they better not belittle that lol

Yeah,, The time we have to struggle with government has dark ambition which control over our new world is coming. Thanks @sflaherty. It was helpful. :D

Time is closing in, the more I watch and read the more its clear the war on terror may switch to the war on citizens using crypto. Scary but we have power to overcome it if we just stand up to the immoral pressures they put on us. Glad this was helpful, i figured the more we speak openly about this while we are still in the good the better prepared we are if they do travel down this route.

agree with that.. Let us keep in touching~:D

Definite, will definitely keep in touch, great meeting you...will follow you back in a second here

Yeah~ See my post about supply-demand of crypto and government policy risk. Nice to meet you @sflaherty.

Looking at it right now, tell you this great detail already from the few paragraphs in. Ties very much to what I am saying lately...government is about to back itself in a major corner

Right! The more valuable crypto, The higher governments' greed.

exactly, they want to centralize it, give us change out and bank even that all in, not realizing there is enough for everyone. Greed is king in Washington

Freedom brother, we must all protect it and this is our key to not lose or we are forever lost

Strange we were talking about this subject this afternoon - quite daunting

Its getting to look like a closing in formation with them is coming on the horizon. Have a huge feeling we will have to start voicing our concerns and point out to the world this is needed. Italy has fallen with their banks, this puts pressure on them because its widely known if they fell it will spread due to the criminal inflation acts. Basically what is about to happen is the veil is about to lift hard on the central banks so they will lash out against crypto because they are about to be in a very weak state and truth is gonna come out due to that. THey won't go down with out taking good things with them, just the nasty way that system works. But they are falling, Italy is in a sad state but that ties to a few American based systems so a few states should be next, watch for Texas and California banking systems, I believe those are the 2 main states whose economy and banking is tied to Italy. Huge chain reaction is about to happen

Great post man! Needs saying.
I believe the crypto market will become too diverse too quickly for governments to keep up and write laws for. They are, as you say, dinosaurs and way behind the curve. Whatever they manage to knock down now will be rebuilt.
Too many people are now enjoying this freedom and will not surrender it easily. I certainly wont.

Tell you this, we may get a few scared off of it by their hype machine to down play it but most will not. This will be a game of those of us who are in it for the real movement and those willing to go back to slavery out of fear. Me, I rather fight for you guys and if they snatch me up, just hope after you beat the tar out of the system you come get me out of the hole they put me in lol...hopefully it won't come to that but a man will have to do what a man has to for his beliefs

Totally. This is the beginning of the collapse of the old empire I believe. We might get dirty but we'll come out the other end no worries.

Its a good thing, they need this moment and so do we. I don't think we will ever abandon governments fully, there is reasons for them but not the way they are running it. A sensible system for the people again can work but they have to wake up to the fact their way is not that way

Yes. indeed. Government should be funded and should spend that funding where it is needed. Tarmac on roads. Health care for all that need it. Clean water etc
It should not however be in our bedrooms or our medicine cabinets. It has no business telling us what we can consume or which church to pray to sky pixies in.
It certainly has no right to use our money to fund illegal wars for the benefit of it's secret sponsors.

Totally agree, the so could blockchain each and every aspect of their system. Funding for healthcare in a coin that people invest in massively, budgets for systems they need in government and so on. If they got the people to trust them again and invest in our own governments they actually could make way more then they print in worthless paper. They are just too blind to it, they only see what works for them and forget there is a huge crowd below them suffering.

We have tolerated career politicians for far too long. They have to go.

agreed, its time for smart people in office with heart, true revolutionary idealists who want better for all. We have yet to have that in a very long time. Once we get the money scammers out, and real men and women in, then it will work

Very good post @sflaherty Thanks for sharing!

It's only logical that governments will try to control cryptocurrencies. It's like you say, we have to be prepared. I'm sticking to this long term. I like managing my finances in this way.

This is also why I really like steemit. It provides a legitimate use for cryptocurency, an obvious way to demonstrate how it can be applied in multiple ways to things we do already. It also helps people who were not involved in cryptos to get on board and try it. There is no better way to make people feel comfortable!

Couldn't agree with you more, Steemit is truly that real world usage we all needed, and a great way and place to promote the drive in the movement to get the ball rolling in a positive way. I am the same way, I live 100% crypto...will pay my taxes come tax season and fight the fight to keep this for life, but governments will pose a brick wall I think soon so we have to remain close knit and vigilant to keep this going.

I'm actually fairly new to crypto currencies. I only really started warming up to it all earlier this year. I was following the news about cryptos for a long time. It seemed like a great idea. Eventually I decided to research how to get into it. I bought some bitcoin at an atm in Glasgow last year and I joined steemit. The idea of living 100% off it is awesome. :)

It takes a little sacrifice to go all on it but well worth it. I live 100% on crypto. Takes a bit of simple living at first to bank back a safety net but once you get past that and have that nest egg in crypto it tends to get very profitable to go long term full on it. Welcome to the crypto movement by the way, always happy to see new users come on board and feel it out.

Think about how much a USD is taxed, e.g. when earned, spent, owner dies, etc. it is easy to see why crypto is the enemy. We are literally stealing the lifeblood of government beasts. Add in the actual tech and you are cutting in to the profits of big business and banks. We may as well just go after organized religion and be done with it

Agreed, it has to scare them due to the fact they only see what works for them in the current state, they don't like change nor think anything against the current paradigm can work. Sad thing, I bet if they took up the decentralized way and gave us trust in them back, they could have so much more money and stability in their system, working with them and all of us not so oppressed could favor them in the long run, they just don't see that

Good point, like the creators of a lot of block chain tech build it and walk away. If you build it right, the people will take care of it.

Agreed, if its done right it can be maintained by the people, which makes you realize that decentralized platforms seem to have a longevity more so than most other platforms for that fact
