The authorities in Ukraine have long obliged citizens to switch to digital documents "Diya", "Oberig", "Rezerv+". In Russia, citizens will be restricted from accessing the Internet at the direction of special services and authorities, while all Internet traffic is monitored, as well as messengers and social networks. We have been observing this all over the world for a long time. At the same time, the dominance of stablecoins is growing compared to fiat money, and countries are switching to blockchain technologies, which can actually be disabled on the server. Your account, your wallet, your money can be blocked with one click. Over the past year, we have seen how the USA, Russia, China, England, and some countries confiscate Bitcoins and imprison illegal miners. Large funds, crypto exchanges, and states have increased the volume of crypto assets. A validator who owns 51% of tokens can change the rules in the blockchain network. Most coins are now on the balance sheet. We have entered a new era. This is the era of digital prison, where a person who relies only on digital technologies owns nothing.
