Think tank time folks... It's coming, there is no stopping it. Now is the time to address it and prepare for it. All ideas welcome and I have few of my own. Starting with and including secret organizations and local black market "exchange" banks backed by hard assets such as equity, title loans, and local credit organizations. Local exchanges with their own local physical currency. Let's take it out of their hands and keep it in local hands just like the Mafia does.
And anyone who breaks their oath of loyalty and silence gets Indian justice. They get burned at the stake, tied over Anthills, or skinned alive and dumped out in Walmart parking lots still alive. I don't give a damned how "brutal and savage" you might think these methods are. But THEY WORK to install fear into those who might snitch. It only needs to be done a couple times to set the example, and then the example lasts for years and years.
Screw them and their laws. They are breaking laws by even creating this concept. The only way to fight back is fire against fire. It is going to be a matter of survival and war. There are no rules or laws in war. You cheat to survive period. An unjust immoral law is not a law bound by morality. They take a swing at us, we take a swing back. There are no rules in this war for basic survival...
“The authorities” don’t monetize all activity WE DO. And corporations. You look up any hobby anywhere on the internet there’s advice on how to sell it. The only thing “the authorities” care about is taxing our monetization.
This would be the caboose of a long train of abuses.
Jus now people are wondering?
That’s funny. It is not like this is a surprise to anyone. It’s not like folks haven’t been screaming about this for 15 years.
And, for those not paying attention….MOST transactions are cashless.
I take $100 cash every week. At the end of the week, I toss the leftover into my safe. Most weeks…I am putting $80+ into the safe. I am not unique.
How do we tip topless dancers?
Prepaid debit cards?
You may be correct in your estimate of what is coming with CBDC’s, but any solution involving coercion is no different from the corrupt, woke deep-state, and is also destined to fail miserably.
We’ll all have to get used to a much lower standard of living, bartering, using influence networks, judging risk of breaking petty laws, etc. etc.
In sum - study how people in Venezuela, Cuba, East Germany, etc... live
I’m wondering if there could be a charitable organization exploit. Habitat for Humanity requires that people work a certain number of hours I think, which in a sense transforms hours into a type of currency, so the precedent is already there. If the fear is that people will get “cancelled” from the economy, than they can be cash poor and still have assets if those assets aren’t making you any money.
I rarely use cash. Other than international travel and my barber, maybe a few times a year. Going to a digital currency is eventually going to make your paper money worthless. You will need a new currency, be it an alternative digital currency like Bitcoin, or silver, gold, or other materials with some inherent and somewhat stable value. Of course other digital currencies could easily become worthless or locked out. Of course you will still need the government approved digital dollar to buy necessities like fuel, healthcare and anything you need that can’t be bartered for.
Not too long ago today, gold was up over $60 for the day. Percentage-wise similar for silver.
M2 is decreasing, bailouts are increasing. FED PR Wednesday of FedNow CBDC.
We are all watching in realtime the end of the US Dollar.
The solution will be the US finally joining in, not necessarily with BRICS+++, but effectively so.
Yeah. Nothing new about that. In-kind revenue has been taxable for as long as we’ve had a tax code. And in-kind donations have been tax deductible for slightly less time. As far as they’re concerned that’s all bartering is.

The old argument for needing a new digital currency was that existing currency can't be transferred across banks without waiting for an overnight process. Powell just changed the regulations so that the existing currency can work just fine transferred immediately across banks. Therefore, no need to set up a new CBDC.
“Who says there is no stopping it?”
Tell you what... If everyone opted out of the scam, quit buying with compulsion, pulled all their funds out of banks for cash, and stopped using digital this concept would come to halt tomorrow.
But we are lazy... It is just too “convenient” to wave a card.
Does anyone have any idea how much we could repair the value of the dollar if we only had a limited amount of physical dollars in the system and no one used digital anymore?
Have we stopped a single thing? Obamacare, covid tyranny, vax mandate stripping of reasonable rational people from every critical institution, the posse commitatus work around militarization of police. For goodness sakes NOAA, adept of Ed, the IRS all have fully automatic weapons, while you got a bumpstock ban.
We are now allowing teens to be chemically castrated and mutilated by experts who couldn’t even get COVID right.
Teachers have drclsted open season on healthy families.
We lost it.
85% of the country is obedient without question, as evidenced by the vax. That is holocaust level obedience… we don’t come back from that.
You are not going to do anything about it. The only chance you have is to stay off their grid as much as possible.
So, start by leaving less of an internet footprint.
Grow your own food, hunt without bullets, learn to fish.
Major bills will have to be paid in their currency. Your paycheck will be direct deposited.
Some skills might be barterable.
Self sufficiency as much as possible. If you haven’t started moving in that direction time is growing short. You will need food storage during the transition.
But we are already tracked on everything. Everyone is worried about them seeing what they spend on, they are more interested in your income.
There is very little to do.
“In sum - study how people in Venezuela, Cuba, East Germany, etc... live”
Exactly right. On this track our future is third world... Do it on their terms or do it now on our own terms before the stain sets in.
Canning is good since it requires no energy to keep, and it won’t freeze either if you keep it in a root cellar
Great advice and we have been prepared since 2010——I keep expecting the economy to crash but it doesn’t and I am amazed it keeps hanging on. Yes, Trump had a lot to do with it but I am amazed we have not crashed and burned yet.
Not exactly. FedNow will morph into CBDC.
The "good" news - the dollar will crash well before CBDC/FedNow gets a chance to become live.
