Congress admits it:
"Maybe we do create money out of thin air, but we're the US Government."
Unspoken truths is being said Out Loud.
The US financial system is intentionally complex, masking a Ponzi scheme of issuing new debt to pay off old debt. When no one wants to buy the new debt, it's bought with printed dollars out of thin air.
Altcoiners and the US government both create "money" from nothing.
1/ The uniqueness of Bitcoin
Only #Bitcoin is NOT created out of thin air.
Bitcoin is generated through Proof of Work, a process that requires significant computational resources & energy, giving it real value.
This will get WORSE with CBDC!
2/ The Founding Fathers' vision
The Founding Fathers of the United States ๐บ๐ธ had a vision of a prosperous nation that would protect citizens' rights & freedoms.
A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would've enraged them.
3/ Constitution's blind spot
The Constitution, written in a time when physical cash dominated, misses the mark on monetary control in the digital age.
Now, digital payments are the norm & a central authority is needed for system efficiency.
However, this comes at a cost to individual freedom & privacy.
4/ Weighing the risks of CBDCs
CBDCs pose significant risks to individual rights & the balance of power between citizens and government.
Citizens must decide if a central bank-controlled digital currency is progress or regression.
In my view, it's a step back - #Bitcoin offers a better solution. ๐งก
