CBDCs - Just Say No
Central Bank Digital Currency is as bad an idea as ever
Hi friends,
I bet you know something about CBDC, but I want to reiterate how bad it is and encourage you to get engaged/be informed.
Digitized currency, like the dollars used through credit cards or bank transfers, is physical money represented electronically—YOUR actual money.
Cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin are natively digital but decentralized, meaning it operates on a blockchain network without government or central bank control.
In contrast, CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) are also digital but entirely centralized and programmable—issued, tracked, and controlled by governments, adversely affecting privacy, surveillance, and financial autonomy.
To sum it up, CBDC is control of money. Period. Control of your money equals control of your life.
China uses it (under their social credit score system) by rating people’s purchases; a bad score takes away rights.
The same results would be achieved with a CBDC in America:
Digital accounts can be locked, shut down, etc.
Purchases can be denied (gas, guns, liquor, books, everything)
Even so far as to have a negative interest rate to discourage saving
See my previous posts on CBDC below the Heritage Action information. Sources are in each post.
A documentary is also available and referenced below.

Urge your senators to include a ban on CBDCs in the NDAA

The CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) and the digital passport can make our lives easier and more efficient. But new international legislation shows that the purpose of these possibilities has far-reaching, and negative, implications for our privacy.
In this documentary international experts such as Edward Snowden, Arno Wellens, Catherine Austin Fitts express their serious concerns and criticisms. It compiles the range of facts and opinions, creating a shocking picture about the future of mankind. A crystal-clear narrative that can't be ignored.
Interestingly, I found one investor article online that is almost neutral.

God bless you, God bless President Trump and team, and God bless America!
The battle for our God-given freedoms is always just starting.

Stay calm - President Trump is a businessman who operates strategically, and not everything will make sense at first. His plan to shrink government and Make America Great Again is a process, not an overnight fix. Trust the long game, not just the headlines.
United we stand. Divided we fall. We must not let America fall.
