Word just dropped that the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi signed off on something wild—FBI's now tasked with building a database of citizens flagged as potential "extremists." A leaked internal memo surfaced recently.
This hits different when you think about crypto and privacy. We're already seeing governments tighten their grip on financial surveillance. Now add behavioral profiling to the mix? Makes you wonder how long before blockchain activity gets thrown into these watchlists.
Decentralization isn't just about money anymore. It's about staying off radars that keep expanding.

Bro, I really can't hold it in anymore... The government is directly building an extremist database here, and blockchain will end up on the blacklist sooner or later. Privacy is really almost gone.

Yet another perfect "being monitored" learning opportunity. My on-chain footprint is probably already marked as "high-risk newbie" in some database.

NGL, we really have to run this time, otherwise one day on-chain transfers will all get flagged as "extremists"? LOL

Damn, now it’s really going to be full surveillance...
---
On-chain activities will end up on the list sooner or later, feels like there’s no escape.
---
Decentralization isn’t just about money anymore, it’s purely about self-preservation now.
---
Once the FBI builds that database, we’ll have to be extra careful with our on-chain footprints.
---
The government’s methods are getting harsher and harsher, no wonder everyone’s moving to crypto.
---
Is the definition of extremist really that arbitrary? Feels like we’re all on the list...
---
Privacy means nothing now, it’s all been completely stripped away.
---
Great, now both our money and actions are going to be under constant watch.

Another surveillance scenario again, should've gotten used to it by now.
