What is the point of owning gold and silver, if the Government will confiscate them in the future? This makes crypto superior because you can hide it away from Governments reach. Why are goldbugs so retarded?

They will raise taxes for the wagies.
They will come for the homeowners for more property tax.
They will come for businesses.
They will come for the stocks crowd.
They may even cut the power to kill crypto.
But at that point the country is fucked. They wont be able to pay millions of government agents that come to your door.

The problem is, if they reveal they are tracking crypto like XMR, this would mean publicly they are tracking anything and everything, on the OS and global communication level.
Same with apps like telegram. Of course they are listening. But should they ever use it in court for example, this would mean publicly that the smartphone is compromised on the OS level, even on hardware level.

That means it's cheaper as long as they keep the manipulation going.
