the true #noshit moment will hit if they manufacture a crisis -- again -- to force us to use a digital currency.

i can see something like nationwide bank freezes happening -- the economy has been gutted by the lack of oil from iran, saudi arabia, uae, etc. -- and the federal government offering immediate relief in the form of digital currency so people can keep a roof over their heads and food on the table while the banks have frozen or limited access to their accounts to prevent another great depression style bank run.
