Decouple yourself from government by not using it's money, and pressure your local government and business leaders to make Bitcoin and other cryptos accepted or payed out there

What about them? The whole point using bitcoin is to decouple from government and not pay taxes to president that called you a bitch to your face

If you really hate the govt, quit paying taxes.

The problem is, digital currency can still be controlled and manipulated. Ultimately they're just ones and zeros on a computer screen. It's the Dominion Voting Systems of monetary exchange mediums. The best money is still cash. Physical money. Even if it's fiat like USD. You can't seize my Benjamin's without prying them out of my cold dead hands. In person. Tangibly.

Honestly, don't do this.
I don't care what political side of the aisle you're on. Bitcoin/crypto are unregulated speculative assets, not something that can replace currency. Anyone crazy enough to 'decouple' themselves from the government by putting their assets into crypto is in a world of pain. Quite frankly, it will do nothing as well if you start using crypto for everything because most people will not adopt it.
The US dollar is backed by the federal government and whether you like it or not, the US government is currently the most powerful government on the planet. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has no backing and is entirely speculative.

It's a short matter of time before governments assume control and start regulating the crap out of crypto.

This doesn’t work. An IRS employee with the power of the local law enforcement shows up at your house and directs you to pay them or they take all your shite and put you in jail.
ETA: You can use crypto outside of sales taxes and hide transactions from the gov’t. I highly encourage this, but I don’t see how the gov’t doesn’t crush this somehow.

But they can make them worthless by printing a shite ton of it.
The only reason the dollar is worth anything right now is because most countries buy oil in the dollar, china and Russia are actively trying to change that

I don't disagree with you at all on the macro level and it's why I invest in hard assets instead of holding on to cash. But I was speaking only at the individual level. If you were targeted by law enforcement, some Corporation or your bank, they could wreck you with a push of a button on a computer. If you deal only in cash they would have to overcome the first and large hurdle of actually knowing you have it then they have to overcome the huge hurdle of actually physically removing it from you, assuming they can even find it.

The whole point of decoupling is to have a government that won't do this

You are assuming that governments can't and won't take over crypto. I'm sorry, but I just don't see that not happening.
