I still can't believe world coin is a real thing, even George Orwell couldn't have come up with a more dystopian idea.

Was there even money in 1984? I somehow imagine the citizens just received food coupons or something. That is functionally equivalent to a CBDC.

Totally. CBDC dressed up as a single world currency. Dangerous…

This was wrong. I found my copy and flipped through a bit, saw a mention of cents 😂

That's why I'm speculating it didn't even ! Pure money (even fiat) always gives autonomy to the individual.
