Every bit of financial markets has been tainted and hijacked, why you think cryptocurrencies and blockchains will be any different really surprises me. The entire Internet is being tracked. Google, Facebook, etc. leak user info. Even so-called privacy apps like Telegram leaked user info to authorities.

We've been caught into a scamdemic of epic proportions, you have Pfizer, Moderna, JJ, GSK, etc. which despite accused and recognized guilty of fraud, bribery, etc. in criminal court are given ownership over your own body (ie. take the vaxx or lose your job) and you think high-conspiracies are a meme?
