This is the reason I didn't invest in BTC in 2011 and that's why I'm not rich.
I expected the government to spin up an official centralised BTC fork and send the value of the community one to zero (or even make it illegal).
Apparently I was dead wrong on the timing and I missed on millions of speculation.
I still think we'll get there, if the history of the USA and Europe is any indication, regulations keep piling on and getting added and nothing ever gets removed, so the future we're slowly drifting forward is undoubtedly a totalitarian nightmare.
China and Russia are already totalitarian. The USA and EU are getting more totalitarian every passing day.
My only hope is for South America to become a bit safer and retain some degree of freedom, so I can escape there in 10-20 years. Or maybe some Caribbean island. Hopefully enough libertarian made money with BTC and will be able to create a better society.
I hope future South America to be good for my kids' generation or maybe for some future totalitarian regime to explode somehow so they can move there.
