But they already have that with current central bank currencies, KYC, cash regulations. What meaningful difference do the paper shreds make? Withdrawal limits, easy to counterfeit, difficult to validate, impractical for meaningful transactions, and the KYC theatrics in place of full traceability rob people of their most basic dignity IMO. I want analogue central bank currency, cash, gone, I want the pretense of individual freedom in that system gone, I want efficient, transparent tracking, honesty in the abuse.
They already have the proverbial gun, they keep the cabinet unlocked, and the bullets loaded, CBDCs just remove the veneer.
exactly
CBDCs do remove the veneer.
Just like covid but 10000x more.
Argentineans were abused by the state for decades but only when the corralito was imposed people took to the streets.
CBDCs are covid on steroids.
And covid abuse already awoke an enormous amount of people.
CBDCs will awaken another set of people, and more importantly, more economically impactful people.
Seems we agree, im general at least, so what speaks against, figuratively, dropping the veneer?
I really think that dose of honesty and increased transparency would help people on all sides, rip off the bandaid, and let us figure out a way beyond the already present dilemma, that hides it plain side.
I hope you know what I mean here, because I really appreciate how constructively you engaged in the discussion, instead of just punishing me for going against popular opinion.

Your labor and time is your sovereignty. You call choose to trade that for sats P2P. No CBDCs in that equation. Living on a bitcoin standard takes work and requires a community of others who are willing to exchange goods and services for sats.
We can sit Idly by awaiting CBDCs or we can begin each day educating ourselves, networking with like minded individuals and valuing our time and energy in bitcoin.
The alternative is conceding defeat.
