“You already are using digital currency anyway. 70% of people make 95% of their money transactions using cashless methods. This just makes it even easier, everywhere! (I just made that statistic up out of thin air-they will too, and far, far more extravagantly)”

We have used autopay on almost everything since it was available. Never a late mortgage or utility payment and all revolving credit accounts up-to-date, so a terrific credit score. We have retired all but a couple of our credit cards over the years, and prefer to pay upfront rather than charge it and pay later.

But one EMP event could stop that cold, and deny access to cash funds in our accounts. As could regulations by another Democrat administration.

You are right, digital is evil.

I don’t like any plan to eliminate cash. If I am careful enough to save my meager funds to be able to pay for something & someone else making the same amount is always broke, who do you think they will want to examine? Each person has their own priorities for what they want to accomplish & we sure don’t need some government entity trying to micromanage us.

(In addition to all your points, digital currency can turn into “programmable” currency quickly. Your money is still “good”, but you can’t buy any more meat this month since you have exceeded your ration. You can still spend it on anything you want except that it can’t be used to buy ammunition anymore..

It makes targeted micro-tyranny simple.)

Yep. All along the road 🛣️🛣️

All according to plan.

You must use your Global One-World Digital Currency to shop at only "officially-approved" stores using your hand or cellphone 📱📱📱 to authorize payment.

That is all, Comrade Global Citizen.






Satan is certainly preparing the world 🌎🌍 for the debut of his Antichrist - the spirit of antichrist is empowering the godless reprobates 🐐🐐🐐

The sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 and the goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 are being divided like never before.

(Digital currency is pure, unadulterated evil. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.)

Yes, far too much tracking and control possible

Democrat Joe Biden slipped in CBDC in Execution Order 14067, March of 2022 IIRC

(I think that a Central Bank Digital Currency could easily lead to a Social Credit System similar to the one used to control the population in China.)

Exactly

—————6-6-6-———

Just wait until TPTB control all commerce via Digital Currency / Facial Recognition

Sounds farfetched but it has ALREADY begun in China

(farfetched: unlikely and unconvincing; implausible.)


(It works great in Communist China.)

Biden’s Executive Order Nightmare: Government Will Track Every Dime You Spend

Gatestone Institute. ^ | March 1, 2023 | Lawrence Kadish

Under this new digital currency, any transfer of funds to family, friends, charities, or clients would be able to be tracked by the nation’s central bank that issued this virtual money. Big Brother will be in your wallet every hour or every day. You will not be able to buy a stick of gum without a Federal Reserve computer knowing where, when, and to whom you just put down a buck.

[Executive Order 14067]

(in 2022), this commercial kept popping up on my YouTube - I finally watched it - it is all about EO14067.

I hope people can take time to watch what I recommended below:

The Digital Dollar will save us! Yeah, That’s the ticket!

(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)

(Vaccine Passports are one thing, and those are evil. We have seen how a totalitarian government could use them)

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 👍👍👍

safe AND effective (they said)

COVID-19(84) - GLOBAL 🌍🌎🌏 EVIL

A WORLDWIDE 🌎🌏🌍 DECEPTION, too

DRY RUN? Lotsa parallels


Seems like many governments follow Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum
