It's the best digital cash we have for the current regime for sure, still not an "inflation hedge" as I've defined above though. It is the best digital cash at least until it gets cucked by its developers, the Controllers decide to omega spam L1 until running nodes becomes annoying, they make it radioactive so 99.99% of people avoid it like the plague, or a bunch of other reasons. My point is - the boys in Zomia don't give a fuck about Monero I'd imagine. Even if you use Monero, you're still playing the Controllers' game. They'd much rather you use Monero than fuck off somewhere and barter, use silver/gold, use labor, grow your own food and be self-sufficient. You can see that all the countries in the world have the same problems, and they have the smartest people in the world and the most advanced LLMs helping them solve these problems. There's a reason we have access to the tech that we do and it's not "innovation". There's also a reason we don't have access to some of the tech that they do. Yes, Monero is the best digital cash for the current regime, but it will only be allowed to be a solution for the few. If it starts becoming a solution for many, expect a rug, and then most will probably have to revert to the Zomia/Amish lifestyle.
