With a #CBDC, the future of cashless payments looks bright.. but how about discussing the downside?

“Unfortunately, your attempted payment was declined due to your political views. Your CBDC digital balance will be frozen for the next 7 days. If you need to buy groceries, please contact your local political commissar where you have the right to participate in our food stamp program for politically conspicuous dissidents.

Thank you for your willingness to cooperate!

With best regards

Your CBDC Payment Authorization Officer”
