Many underestimate how much power #CBDCs will have on the low-income averages families in both US and EU.

People will receive a certain amount of tokens, with the power to make them spendable only on certain products, to track them much better than they already do, to set a time limits, shrink and expand the number of them in your account depending on what monetary policy or whatever the Central Banks want.

And that is the main point.. slowly eliminating the small banks, one by one, with people moving accounts to the "to big to fail" ones, until in the end everyone will just have a check account at the FED or the ECB, connected with your digital passport and IDwoth all your health data and how you behave, because if you don't act good.. less point on the social score. Pura Vida?

Unlimited options in the programming.

Unlimited ways to control spending.

They will call it monetary policy.

Oh yes.. we will love it won't we? 🥲

“We will use all of the tools available to us in our toolbox to xyz.”

#CBDC could be a new type of money printer in a lot of ways. Economic stimulus through money programmed to disappear after a certain period during times of crisis; debasement hiding in plain sight.

Judge, jury and executioner, in real time, driven by AI

Indeed.. Orwellian dream.

That will set up the scene for THE GREAT TAKING. Read the pdf...book. It's online. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, will take a look at it

I am surprised that not many people talk about it. I checked most of laws he writes about and it's all facts that can be verified: https://thegreattaking.com/read-online-or-download

Yeap.. was just reading this source, and looks there is also a Documentary made about it. Now it's 4:10 am here, but tomorrow will check it more, and yeah I can already see would love to read it and will probably agree with most of the things written there.. it is all a well constructed and long planned scheme.

I bet most people don’t even know what a CDBC is

Sad true..

The banks and exchanges that pair a CBDC with Bitcoin will do well. Anyone who prevents that pairing is not worth our time.

There will not be a direct swap between the two, impossible Central bankers will allow it. They would block the token on that exchange.

CBDCs are the nemesis of Bitcoin.

Third party custodied, regulated bitcoin is not bitcoin.

It's not going to be reality that everyone deals with Bitcoin on chain and self-custody. It just won't happen.

I didn't say that. Bitcoin run as a KYC business basically operates as an extension of the state. Contrast that to say, a lightning-enabled fedimint.

No argument there. But what matters is that people are able to use it however they can to meet their financial needs so they can participate in the global economy. An ETF is not a stock, even though a stock might be a component of an ETF. It's all multiple layers of complexity, but as long as we see the growth in our portfolio and get what we need out of it, that's fine.

They won't.

Lightning, federations, ecahs, cashu and who knows what will be built next.

People arriving later in Bitcoin (when will be near hyperbitconization and a bit before) or with a not enough big stack in term of sats, will never trasact onchain. That's for sure. And that's fine.

Imagine that in places like Sicily and Calabria, will never work there. In northern Italy, France, Germany where everybogy is a hard worker paying their taxes yes. It's how those proud to be an entrepreneur those days are the most sheep, doing everything the system wants.

I see your point.. but remember how in place like the ones you named, people is used to give election's vote for a bag of food or 50€. When the government will granted to all these people a monthly fixed salary income, in #CBDCs, for them will just be free money. They will not see the difference between an old bank account with an app, and the new Digital wallet, with passport and every social data related to you.

Mass media will push all of it, like the need fornthw new transition, the "digitalization" needed for the progres, to make thing faster, for the people.. LoL

CBDCs = Slavery
