[E. Pluribus Unum]

When our accumulated wealth consists of nothing more that digital “credits”, and the government convinces the general public that anyone wanting to use cash must be up to something questionable or illegal, our “freedom” will be a faint memory.

The only people who would need to encrypt their internet communications to block the total surveillance state are drug dealers, terrorists and child pornographers, right?

Hell it is already illegal to carry over a certain amount of cash in some areas....

The Banks are forced to snitch on you if you pull out a certain amount in cash as well....
