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

and the fact that normies will do anything to receive them

It is totally bonkers when one reads about it and digs a little further.

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…

Now that you mention it I don't think money is ever mentioned?

Yeah i think they just have “credits”

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.

It blows me away that anyone could listen to the world coin sales pitch and think that it is a good idea.

I haven't looked into it at all, but all the things I've seen on Nostr about it make it seem like satire, as it's so completely ludicrous.

Isn't Bitcoin already worldcoin?

🤮

When you grow up setting traps for animals, you instinctively understand the get-free-stuff trap.

Most people are too disconnected from the basic realities of nature and themselves nowadays to understand how traps work.
