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.

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

Vaccine Passports are one thing, and those are evil. We have seen how a totalitarian government could use them as we watched the ChiComs restrict the movement of their dissident citizens using it. They would undoubtedly do that here. No doubt. As currently implemented in Communist China, this affects your ability to cross a state or even city line, use public transportation, or check into a hotel

Another part of it is that using the Vaccine Passport, they could easily link that to your bank account in a heartbeat even without a digital currency. They link to it and then to your bank accounts, and you have to have enough cash on hand all the time. With a digital currency, they just put the stop on you period, turning off the valve at the source. So you can't buy food. Can't check into a hotel. Can’t fix a flat tire. You can't buy anything. You won't be able to disappear.

It is going to be interesting, watch how they present this to the public. These are the things they will say (this is a prediction of HOW they will sell it):

They will make this so attractive to their target audience (people who are accustomed to being habitually electronically connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week) that vast swaths of people will break down brick walls to voluntarily get this deadly threat to their liberty. This is what they are aiming for.

That part will be like selling heroin to heroin-addicts.

At this point, they despotic government have one of the most effective wedges ever invented to drive between people.

It will be more effective than religion. It will be more effective than education. It will be more effective than class. It will be more effective than simply having money. It will be more effective than skin color.

It will be more of a wedge than money, because it is total control of money.

Digital Currency is EVIL.

There is that, but they also want to be able to fine you on the spot for whatever offense you committed. There is also the risk that they can devalue your bank account to prevent you from saving anything.

Trump is definitely for getting rid of cash and using bitcoin. That’s going to make him the first trillionaire.

Exactly

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.)
