🤔 This is an interesting take, but I see it as a dangerous one. Arguably, a lot of people don't care about sound money. They should, and once they know better they do and choose Bitcoin. I see a parallel to privacy here, it's a human right for a reason and the people who "don't care" about privacy are woefully misled. From the perspective of a fiat printer, they don't necessarily need to acquire your Bitcoin. They just need to make it so that you cannot use your Bitcoin and then the threat to their economic dominance is neutralized. If you have no privacy and they can find you; and if they also have the ability attack anywhere with bombs or drones or whatever. Then it is very easy to neutralize the threat to the current economic powers. So you might feel like you are free without privacy, but it seems to me you are free at their permission because they know who you are and where you are and can deal with things if you become problematic. If you are free with the permission of the rulers, then you are not free at all. You are just a delusional slave.

Signal would be Monero in that example though. It's built in by default and users don't even have to think about it. Manual PGP over texts would be coinjoining or using lightning privately You're right a lot of people don't care maybe even most. But there is a subsection that care but can't get over the technical hurdles (or can but still shoot themself in the foot by making mistakes that wouldn't otherwise be possible to make) All government has to do is threaten you or your family legally or physically. I'm sure most would give up their coin if they were facing down decades behind bars or worse.
