Sorry if i expressed myself wrong. English is not my native language. But no, that wasn't what i was trying to say. And also sorry for the wall of text.
It is wrong, completely wrong a private company exploit people, correct, but a politician is not different (see Venezuela for example, Noth Korea, or Argentina before 2023). Is not like a private company is bad per se, people, specially powerful and greedy ones are the problem, and sadly you will found them in both sides (ruling private companies and governments, and sometimes even working together.)
I'm not saying we should keep being exploited by a company. I'm saying CBDC is a door to new problems that are hard to fix. You can choose not use Visa/Mastercard anymore and if more people do the same, the income of those companies will get lowered enough to make their CEO's say 'We should roll back or we will go bankrupt'. But you can't do the same with the government because you are funding them via taxes or money printing (that you perceive as inflation).
With crypto the thing is different because at being a decentralized payment network without central nodes, nobody (both companies and government) can't freeze funds, confiscate, add taxes over it or generating more (de-valuating the coins in the process (taking Bitcoin as reference, other coins may not work the same.))
'you know, in europe, we have influence over who is in politics and who represents us.' <- What kind of influence do you have? because if it's just democracy, sadly is not enough.
And about stop killing games, I am also agree with the principles behind it. If a company will take away the things i buy from me. At least give me a refund. But there is another problem. Stop killing games might be used as a politic tool to win elections, because is a noble cause. Corrupt politicians may use it to get more votes and if the 'wrong one' get to the power. Then you will have to deal with a new array of 'everyday problems'.
