No, they rolled out cryptos on the sly, because honestly would you have accepted them if the narrative had been different? If the governments or banks had said, "Hey everyone, turn in your dollars in exchange for digital tokens now!" Well, no one would have cooperated, and bitcoin would have been unwelcomed. But by releasing it from the grass roots angle, and allowing us to profit from it (for a while), they make us love it and support it. It is hegelianism at its finest.
I think bitcoin is a beta test of the system they will launch 5 or ten years from now, and then that final system will be the platform for enforcing the mark of the beast, at least in terms of the beast's control over all buying and selling on earth. Without internet access and permission to access a particular blockchain through a client (i.e., a wallet), you cant buy or sell in that cryptocurrency.
That is why we suddenly have to go through all of this KYC and AML crap to buy crypto: you will have to be given permission to access the network and the NWO will control all the gateways.
Do a google search using "blockchain central banks" and see how this process is unfolding right now.
