I think that one of the crazy things you and I as well as many others will have to do in the future is utilize a VPN to connect to the internet and do what we want on hive and other places.
Many do it now. There will always be new innovations for this - thankfully. I also see that the setting up of independent networks will happen more too. How many will end up launching their own satellites I wonder.
The next few years are going to be interesting and likely, lead to some level of violence. I suspect some countries will follow China and my rule of thumb is, if a country follows China, they aren't doing it to help their citizens.
Only 7000 km. When are you going to visit? :D
