Right! I get it, but you can’t fill your tank with bartered cigarettes or rum.

(When your wealth is digital they can shut you down and cancel you out)

I keep telling people, this day will come. Right in the middle of 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’.

Tell everyone you know. Jesus Christ is the Messiah. John 3:17-18.

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013%3A16-18&version=KJV

Revelation 14:9-12
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Yep.

Look at what China did with the COVID protocols over there? When people were making noise about their money disappearing over a cliff with the real estate market, those making noise found out their electronic “passport” changed from green to red.

Funny, that. They were using the COVID mechanism to keep people from gathering to protest.

With this, they simply shut off your money.

“...they want to track every transaction.”

Bingo.

We must kill US digital currency in its cradle. A new law flatly against it, no loopholes.

The bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Reps. Maxine Waters…

With a brain trust like Maxine Waters discussing cryptocurrency, we’re in the very best of hands.
