In the forefront of the defence against those developments: Monero (XMR). Total emission 18M vs. Bitcoin's 21M. Price: 0.0017 BTC. Hedging your position with an equal or higher amount of Monero has seldom been this cheap

I had really hoped you would not just blindly pump..... Monero has never been lower except last week. You have had much better days.
Whether or not Monero is a good investment (I have bought some), Risto is right that XMR is less useful as a tool of mass surveillance than Bitcoin. It will be interesting to see whether BTC will ever be allowed to incorporate strong privacy features. I can imagine it doing so via sidechains but I can also imagine scenarios where regulators and VC strong-arm Bitcoin developers or mining pools to use only pseudo-private ledgers.
