LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Getting the design of a digital pound right is a bigger priority than a rapid launch, Britain's Financial Services Minister Andrew Griffith said on Tuesday.
China has pushed ahead with piloting a digital yuan and the European Central Bank is studying a digital euro, piling pressure on Britain to do the same and keep abreast of advances in financial technology.
The finance ministry is due to launch in the coming weeks a public consultation on the attributes of a digital pound.

You are mistaken.
Matthew 24:15-21
King James Version
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Thank you!
Bear in mind my knowledge of scripture is quite limited, but from what I understand the mark isn’t something that will be imposed, that people will take it willingly.
You need a credit or debit card to buy stuff.
Credit and debit cards are the mark of the beast
Correct. It won’t be by an accident or secret. That’s why the warning
and the punishment of Revelation 14:9-12 is so dramatic and forever. Yikes 😳😳😳
In a bit of a rush to post there. Let’s try that again:
“That’s why both the warning and the harsh punishment of Revelation 14:9-12 are so dramatic and eternal.”
Twice.
Once in the old testament and once in revelation to which most of us think of.
Oh I forgot to provide the place in the old testament where its mentioned.
1 Kings 10:14
Yep - I hadn’t looked at it in awhile so thanks for the verse
Now..I dont know, but there have been some who have linked that to the beast.
Some have claimed that the mark of the beast (666) is currency or money. Since gold was a currency then, and todays control of the population will be through currency, then that links it to the mark of the beast....I.E. digital currency.
The question is, which individual controls it?
The key is that he is defined perfectly...Lion, Leopard and Bear. So IMO, From Babylon, Greece, or Persian area. Gains his power in the old Assyrian area which would include all that area from Egypt to Persia.
JMO.
I still use hard currency/cash to purchase food, gasoline, and a couple of months ago a rifle.
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, that the UK has a Deep State, too.
What it doesn’t have, and needs desperately, is a Trump.
One of my Old Testament professors leaned towards the Assyrian angle.
My guess is he arises from Europe 🌍 possibly old Roman empire areas which may not be much different. (Briefly part?)
Time will tell.
7..five have fallen, one is, and one is to come.
People have to realize that it was written in Johns time.
Personally, I believe that Islam is the false religion and the ten nation confederacy is/are Muslim nations. The false prophet? The Pope?
As to your point on from Europe? King Charles? Wasnt his father a Greek?
Like you said..time will tell.
BTW, I am eager to see the new movie Passion of the Christ, The Resurrection...Mel Gibson film. I hear its a dandy.
Might be the first time I have gone to a theater in years.
I’m probably naive to what the government can do with my bank account. If they can cut off my access, they would have to know my pin number and remove it. However, if they can control access, they would have remote control of all the bank accounts in America. You saw what happened with the airline flight shut down. Would they risk a glitch that shuts down all banking?
About the time of Isaiah the prophet, the Japanese empire dynasty was established and that line continues to this day.
I think that the False Prophet will indeed occupy that office.
