China has already rolled out their own highly oppressive and frighteningly, controlling version of the social credit system. The Social Credit system in China was developed by Google and Apple who are bit by bit inserting it into our own society. Say something in"correct" and lose your job is a reality for a spreading portion of the society.When we go cashless I expect a group of informal cash systems will spring up with local scrips in use, perhaps even backed by gold. Gold and silver will trade for goods and scales with specific gravity functions will appear in markets.
Gold and silver will be eventually outlawed and confiscated, too.
“Gold and silver will be eventually outlawed and confiscated, too.”
Then lead and brass will become the go-to commodities. People simply will not allow themselves to starve, be made homeless, lose vital utilities, etc. on a permanent because of some electronic glitch, or because TPTB have determined that they are “unworthy” of spending (or even keeping) their own hard-earned money.
