In addition to the anti-inflation meme, which they could stop by simply quitting money printing, rest assured that their full intent at least prior to implosion is to indeed keep global rates higher for longer in order to make crypto less appealing. The Power Elites and Deep State around the world will not hesitate to utterly destroy civilization, even through nuclear war, so long as they are able to preserve their own power over human freedom, and that includes monetary power. Crypto is a direct threat to their survival. "You will own nothing" is not a silly meme, it is their intended reality in regards to crypto too. And they will stop at nothing to ensure that. Their only fear is that you and all the rest of you sheeple will wake up to their psychological control game over you. Buy and begin using crypto now amongst your peers and wherever else you can create and find to use. If you don't do this right now today, the entirety of crypto will be lost, and your slavery will be final.
