In February 2021, in the Boeromer column, why the older generations can no longer understand people who grew up in a new technological reality ”I outlined an objectively justified picture of the future:“ The new generation was so torn off from their predecessors, which ultimately lost the very opportunity to communicate with them. There was a rejection of dialogue in principle. Do you know what is OK, Boomer ”? This is a time rate. The new generation eliminated the direct conflict (1968 lessons!) And now it is quiet and patiently waiting for the old Schlak to save the world from its presence. The Zumers are not going to ask for permission to take control of the world in their own hands. Moreover, they are not going to fight for this. Ok, Boomer, we will just wait until this control itself falls out of your hands covered in senile tremor. ”
I must admit that with all the physiological verification of the described script, I did not assume that transit processes would launch in a few years. They will start long before the bulk of the technologically ignorant generations will move to the chronotope of their own religious prejudices.
Obviously, the time for the formal transfer of power has not yet come, but there is a merciless sign of the inevitable end. This sign proved to be the readiness of the ruling elites to renounce even the most sacred cows for the sake of at least a small extension of power.
We are talking about a breathtaking somersault, which in May 2024 was committed by the Biden administration and the Party of Democrats in the matters of oppression of everything, which is directly or indirectly related to cryptoeconomics.

Democrats always gave their crusade against the “crypts” not so much as concern for the “security of an ordinary investor”, but as a deadly struggle with an existential threat to both the national economy and the dollar in the role of the world reserve currency.
Under this sauce over the past four years, the United States has practically strangled the national crypto industry, initiating the mass executive of successful projects in other jurisdictions.
The State Commission on Securities and Exchange of the United States (SEC) initiated 173 forced measures against crypto projects, including 108 trials and 65 administrative proceedings. The volume of fines - $ 2 billion 890 million.
It seemed that the strip was already working: today you will hardly find a cryptoprotocol, on the first page of the site of which it would not be bred by fat: "US citizens are strictly prohibited!"
And against the background of such an impressive victory, a thunder is heard among the clear sky:
The House of Representatives unexpectedly votes for the adoption of the FIT21 law, which finally called on to create at least some format for the regulation of cryptoeconomics. It is significant that with a unanimous vote “For” the Republican congressmen, for the first time in history, a split occurred among the Democrats (for the pros voted a third of the party, including the honorary speaker Nance Pelosi);
The House of Representatives, and then the Senate unanimously reject the extension of the recommendation of the recommendation of the Commission on Securities and Exchange (the so-called SAB 121), which de facto does not allow financial structures to produce any action with crypto actures in the interests of its customers. 228 congressmen and 60 senators were opposed to Sab 121 (“pros”, respectively, 182 and 38);
SEC literally at the last minute agrees to satisfy numerous applications for the registration of ETH ETFS (exchange funds for trading the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network), despite the fact that the bookmakers received bets in favor of such a decision 1 to 9.

What happened to the Democrats? What made them change the sacred principles and abandon the “existential struggle” with the “crypt”, with this, seemingly disgusting graveter of the traditional financial system?
Donald Trump occurred on the surface, who increased the gap in the rating of the presidential race by 10 points with his friendly cryptorotorics.
First, Trump announced the reception of donations in the form of crypto acts. Then he began to promote his own NFT with double energy. Then, as if by chance, a leak occurred, as a result of which it became known that the crypto actors of the former president exceed $ 33 million.
Finally, the culmination: on May 29, at the Convention of the Libertarian Party of America, Trump said that his first decree after the election will be the pardon of Ross Ulbricht, sent to bars for more than two life-long periods for creating a cult online store Silk Road, in which any grass (and not only) in exchange for bitcoins could be bought.
However, I want to emphasize once again that Donald Trump “happened” precisely on the surface and as a result. And what kind of reason is hiding there - at a depth? What caused not only a conjuncture of an expentric, but also the “harsh keepers” of the dollar, Biden and Co., to sacrifice the principles, step on the song and perform crypto-auto-relaxing on the summer?
In the depths, it happened to what I started the column today: the awakening of the generation of digital zumer people, who finally reached the selective age and begin to vigorously push the history of politicians of the old world into the landfill.

From April 4 to 16, 2024, the venerable and authoritative The Harris Poll (began in 1960 with polls by public opinion on the candidacy of John Kennedy) conducted a representative survey in all layers of American society, which revealed truly sensational results (error +-4.1%):
The vast majority of voters plan to vote in the upcoming elections 2024 (90%+) and are strongly divided according to party signs;
40% of voters would like political candidates to talk more about digital currency;
Most voters do not believe that elected officials are versed in innovative technologies, such as cryptocurrency, and more than half (55%) are concerned that politicians suppress innovation through excessive regulation. Voters want politicians to better understand timely technologies before regulating them;
Almost half of the voters (48%) generally do not trust political candidates interfering in cryptocurrency. A quarter of the respondents say that enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies will force them to trust a political candidate more. 30% is more likely to support a political candidate who is friendly in relation to cryptocurrencies;
The current financial system is generally unpopular, and most voters agree that this system is unfair and young generation is in a particularly unfavorable position;
The existing financial system causes a negative reaction of voters, most of whom agree that the system prefers elites to ordinary people (80%), it lacks transparency (79%), it is difficult to understand (67%) and that young generations are doomed to life failures (63%).
Just think about these data: every third voter “will support a political candidate who is friendly to cryptocurrency”! At the same time, everyone knows what the name of the main cryptonenovyers of America is the US Democratic Party.
In this situation, it is not enough just to declare crypto -baking for the sample. Only hardcore will be saved: to frantically bring savings in the landing on credit protocols Ethereum and zealously shilling the SOLANA network among single -party people.
I won’t be surprised if the time remaining before the elections will be engaged in the bonzes of the Bonza Party of Oslov, headed by Gary Gensler (chairman of the same securities and exchanges commission).
The described political buffoon not only hides the tragic ignorance of the outgoing generation, but also acts as a facade of amazing cynicism.
Over the past 10 years, the mainstream media of the planets non-stop with genuine zeal fulfilled the order of financial elites and state structures, intimidating the wide ignorant masses of fairy tales about crypto-Africa: do not go there, do not go, there malicious drug dealers, pedophiles and terrorists will deceive around the finger, divorce, tear, shoe!
Let us pay tribute: intimidated to glory. Today, only 6.8% (560 million) inhabitants of the planet are cooked in cryptoeconomics. It would seem: both financial elites, and the state structures had armor -piercing motifs to protect themselves and their flock from dangerous trends of time. The state defended the monopoly on the right to print in any quantities its fiat candy wrappers. The financial elites fought for the right to continue to provide intermediary services at Rostovshchina interest and commissions.
It was then that the mentioned cynicism appeared. While the media drove off the townsfolk from crypto -Africa, both the state and the financial elites quietly vigorously and rapidly “barked” with the New Barmaley, buying cryptoactives for hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars!
It is hard to believe, but the world governments today own 2.7% of the entire emission of bitcoins, of which the lion's share belongs to the chief cryptocurre of the planet - the US government (more than 210 thousand tokens in the amount of $ 15 billion at the current rate).
The “tradfai”, the traditional financial business did not lag behind: over the past 5 months, American stock funds selling bitcoin have accumulated “money, completely deprived of any internal value” (standard description of critics of crypto economics for bitcoins and its analogues) by $ 60 billion (thereby joining the detrimental ranks of “drug-coders, pedophiles and pedophiles and pedophiles and pedophiles and pedophiles and pedists. terrorists ").

That is, for retail investors-crypto-Africa and no-no! For state structures and financial establishment, the last chance to get at least some lever to control the digital economy of the future, which without the slightest doubt will begin to dominate with the physical adopt of the Zumers generation to power.
Under the curtain, I prepared the readers with a large barrel of honey, capable of overshadowing any spoons of political cynicism. In fact, against the background of a long -term negative info -flow, emanating from the mainstream world press, amazing processes occurred. The inhabitants of the planet, like the great cat Vaska, listened carefully to horror stories, nodded in accordance with, but acted in their own way. Just as state structures and financial elites, the “salt of the Earth” was regularly stocked with cryptocurrencies.
Here is an incredible figure: 28% of the total population of America owns cryptocurrencies. This is 93 million people. A year ago-in 2023-there were almost ten percent less. In the Russian Federation, the figure is much more modest (6.3%, that is, 9.2 million), but even it gives the basis for optimism. It turns out that the peoples are not as “stupid” as intellectuals like to portray them.
If, in the conditions of a total information attack based on shameless cynicism (“care” about children, “protection” of a small investor, etc.), such a significant part of the population does not act as well as self -proclaimed or imposed pastors, which means not everything is lost and hopelessly.
Indeed, in my opinion, the suppression of cryptoeconomics is only one of the levers in the struggle of the state and financial elites against public freedoms and the genuine autonomy of the individual.
The other day, the legend of scientific cryptography David Chaum made a disturbing warning: “The situation is gloomy, especially after we experienced the power of artificial intelligence and its early predecessors on social networks. We experienced its ability to misinform and create a toxic environment with the aim of complete fragmentation of civilization to a state, after which we will all roll into totalitarianism. I think that you will agree with me: such a transition with a high probability will become irrevocable, since the power of AI when manipulating public opinion and ( imposing - S. G. ) of certain values, reinforced by total surveillance of each through the “Internet of things” and cheap robotization, leaves us no chance of rollback ( from global totalitarianism - S. G. ). ”
In this context, cryptoeconomics and - wider - Web3, where the models of decentralized AI will be deployed, is the foundation for getting rid of the world of the novel “1984”, which defeated so far selectively in the handful of countries, but threatening to capture the entire planet to the last island.
