Governments around the world are conspiring to control your money through their new Central Bank Digital Currencies. The new world digital dollar order will allow them to know exactly what you make, spend, and even what you tipped your waitress at TGI Fridays. Although it might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, it’s actually real and happening faster than you can say these aren’t the dollars you’re looking for.
Set your phasers on stun because GWU! is warping in to back up your rebellion against the evil empire disintegrating your wallet, helping you strike back for your freedom.
Isn’t a CBDC more convenient? I hate carrying around loose change.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be pushed on to you as convenient, fast, cheap to create, and 100% secure, but don’t be fooled so quickly (remember those vaccines!?!—ed). This digital money isn’t pegged to a physical commodity like gold or goats, but it operates similar to paper fiat money; meaning its value is defined by whatever the issuing government decides. That allows them to control every CBDC, and in turn, you.
It’s taken Bitcoin years to grow, won’t this take just as long?
Many confuse CBDCs which are issued by government with blockchain cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and MonkeyMoney (It’s real! We just mined some—ed). The difference is that CBDCs are not anonymous, they are fully trackable and most important, centralized. Where we’re going, there are no blockchains! As for timing, your grandma will be onboard right away rather than 5 years later.
But I trust my government, they have my best interests in mind.
Governments along with the UN, WEF and other stock conspiracy theory villains claim they are being brought in for ease of use, to combat fraud and modernize money. But really they are a means of controlling citizens with the ability to track and trace every single dollar in the economy—and tax it. Proponents of the digital donaro also argue that we lived in a cashless society during the pandemic (plandemic-ed) and did just fine. Many businesses at the time were simply not taking cash for fear that the deadly Covid-19 virus could be spread by paper money (As it turned out Covid-19 could only be spread by newspapers—ed).
Please, who cares what little old me is spending my money on?
Sure, maybe the government doesn’t care about that lap dance you paid for with your digital currency at The Solid Gold, but what if you decide instead of spending your money on strippers you whore it out on supporting a non-state approved political organization? Remember when the Canadian government froze the bank accounts of freedom loving Canadians who donated to the Freedom Convoy in the socialist dictatorship in February 2022. Well, that’s nothing compared to this.
US Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been vocal in his opposition of CBDCs and recently tweeted that the Fed’s announcement to introduce its “FedNow” Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in July was dangerous. “The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it, and when money expires. CBDCs grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.”
My local businesses will never be able to use them. I have nothing to worry about.
According to the Atlantic Council, 98 countries are either exploring CBDCs and/or already have them up and running. The practicality of being able to actually pay for goods and services will at first be with large corporations like Amazon and Walmart that have the financial ability to bring in the technology to process payments whereas mom and pop stores will not and be forced out of the food chain.
When Will They Replace Paper and Coin Money?
Sometime between now and shortly after now. Already governments like Nigeria have started putting limits on cash withdrawals from banks to ‘encourage’ use of it’s digital ‘eNaira’.
Well as long as it’s not a Social Credit System, this isn’t China!
Bad news, CBDCs will have the programmable ability to be tied directly into your personal digital ID which will be in turn tied into your social credit score, giving social engineers a field day level of control. Hope you didn’t say anything bad about the government on Facebook 16 years ago!
I’m free! How can this possibly enslave me?
The technology is a gift to climate change zealots who want you staying home and eating bugs, all under their green thumb.
The new money will be what tech experts call ‘programmable.’ This means that each individual CBDC can be assigned a specific thing it can be used for. Travelling too much? Your CBDC will stop working to buy gas or train tickets. Eating too much beef? Oopsie, you can only buy bugburgers till June (Gay Christmas—ed). And if you speak out against the government or ‘The Current Thing’ you might just find your money and access to it turned off or limited to set amounts. Even the proposed Universal Basic Income could be digital CBDC credits that have an expiry date so you can never save money, never accumulate wealth, and be stuck right where they want you—in poverty.
Hey, if you didn’t do anything wrong then what do you have to worry about? Besides, the government is definitely qualified to protect our digital freedoms!
Sure, buddy, own nothing and be happy!
Okay, I’m sold. What can I do to stop myself from becoming a bug eating, digital surf, shopping at Walmart worshipping St. BigGov!
Well, if you’ve made it this far maybe you’re willing to go a little bit farther (Shawshank—ed). We advise (not financial advice bro—ed) holding precious metals, stocking up on Bitcoin, buying real estate and other tangible assets that can stave off the digital slavery that will be CBDC.
