Yep and many of them want to go digital because it will be easier for them to rob the people of the fruits of their labor.
EXACTLY!!!
People need to realize that we still have a system with fiat money that could change into one of "completed labor".
It would take our Treasury being the issuer of our money supply, without being tied to any bond auctions, etc.
We already do have a segment of our money supply that is "completed labor" based....coinage. All of our coins are issued from the Treasury, and sit on the opposite side of the Fed's balance sheet from currency.
If everything goes digital then there will be no more ability to move away from debt-based money. Even coinage will no longer be "completed labor" based, since it wouldn't be needed anymore.
Digital money would be the ultimate grab of POWER (defined as having the "claims" that control the "future labor a.k.a. actions" of the populace).
