summary

Argues that money is already digitized and controlled by states and mega‑corporations, fiat is eroding, and the real danger is mass surveillance and data extraction funded by advertising; recommends concrete defenses: use Monero and peer‑to‑peer comms, prefer I2P over Tor, push services to opt out of training data via GDPR, run free software and open hardware where possible (coreboot, verify kernels), notes Satoshi Labs’ new secure chip for wallets, warns against 3D KYC scans, and says work is underway to build an AI stack from scratch.
