Enforcement by govt is about punishment..
Bitcoin will bring more education instead of punishment based on propaganda..
Education will be better, thank you Satoshi for brigning a base that will force society in a better place, by education over senseless punishment justified by lies..
Everything is upside down.. near the reversal of the fourth turning, our kids will rebuild, upside with Bitcoin as base..
Bitcoin is Hope, in a decade or two, our kids will live a better life 😎

5k Just listening to you on the Europe situation and the backdoors they want on the chat apps. On Android you can side download as u mentioned, weird thing for them is that in Europe Apple will be forced too to allow side downloads too if I recall well. Which means that to enforce it they may have to use mandatory proxies or something like that. For travelling it will be a pain!!
