Serious question: How successful can a resistance be with a public, transparent ledger where the states know who has how much and who transacts with whom?
To me that sounds like a naive dream. We need strong privacy if we want to stand at least a small chance of resisting.
You are long enough in BTC to know that it was always "the plan", to adopt successful technologies from other chains - including privacy. But nothing happened.
And no, lightning is not a solution.
