🗞️ Sovereignty vs tightening state & oligarchic control

🧵 India’s central bank expands tokenized deposits/CBDC sandbox pilots, edging closer to programmable money at scale.

🔍 What can you do?: CBDC rails promise efficiency while hard-coding financial surveillance and behavioral “nudges”; the real prize is granular control over spend permissions and identity—a bureaucratic panopticon with fintech UX.

🧍‍♀️ What could you do? Use cash and self-custodied BTC where legal, diversify savings outside single-jurisdiction rails, and demand strict offline, privacy-preserving features in any digital legal tender.
