Vaccine mandates and governments alienating it's own citizens are a bad thing but it can be a blessing in disguise for cryptocurrencies. When enough people are thrown out of the traditional banking system or the workforce, they are skilled labors who can create an alternate society based on their believes. These are going to be the early adopters of the new paradigm in their daily lives. These draconian measures can help accelerate the adoption.

Uh, it's gonna be pretty hard to functionally replace society if you're locked out of it. Unless you are a member of a "back to the land" group, I think you'd have a real tough time of it.
Essentially society is a bunch of systems and skillful people are needed to run those systems. When there are enough skillful people organize to produce value I believe they can rebuild those systems from scratch. I don't think it is too hard when you have a sound money layer like BCH which didn't exist before.
I don't know. I don't think you are considering how much time and effort went into building those systems. But if events keep going like they're going now, maybe we'll find out if you're correct sooner rather than later.
I agree that a lot of work went into making these systems but I don't think it is going to take as much work to copy them. It is going to be harder to make it first time but once there is a recipe then it is very faster to replicate. In my opinion, the hardest part is crossing the barrier in people's mind and making them believe that they can do it on their own.
Good point. The hardest barriers are always psychological.
