The current generation is aware of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But what stops them mostly is legal issues. I had to stop accepting crypto payments after our government put a ban on cryptocurrency. I know people will still use crypto. Likewise, I do it too. But going publically accepting crypto is not a choice here.

We can choose to stay out of the compliant economy, with registration, regulations and taxation, and build our own circular economy whereby we interact with friends, or interact anonymously and privately with a larger community of like-minded individuals. That way we won't have to worry about whether the forms of payment we accept are legal or not.
I believe that's the future. Not in changing the law, but in circumventing it by mastering and leveraging the technology that is at our disposal.

It won't be long before people have so much individual power (thanks to Bitcoin, cryptography, Nostr, Tor etc.) that our muppet governments will be a laughing stock at best.

You have to consider public safety too. What if the powers go to some wrong person? Have you thought about that? We need somewhat control for government over legalization in order to track those individuals who will do wrong. Don't get me wrong here. I am not saying that it should be totally centralized. Government should have somewhat info of users IMO. That's how we can be sure that it is in safe hands.
