The Great Taking 2.0: & You Thought CBDCs were Bad?

Most people get the dangerous notion of Central Bank Digital Currencies. The ability to surveil transactional behaviour while the programmable capabilities enable authorities to potentially prevent anyone’s ability to transact. They are a clear and present danger. But an even bigger threat to people’s economic lives is looming larger by the day and is clearly taking shape across many nations that are experimenting with tokenization pilots. It is the single-unified ledger. If a CBDC is seen as digital cash by some central planners, well, the entire operating system for value and ownership is the unified ledger. Upon which currency and far more will run. Yes, banknotes are intended to be replaced with digital tokens. But in addition it’s about redesigning the whole machinery of finance, identity, and economic behaviour into one programmable framework.

This video explains what that means in simple terms and why the average person may want to pay very close attention, particularly if you are aware of David Roger’s Webb thesis of the Great Taking.

I searched the great taking on primal and came up with your post here. Do you know if anyone in the bitcoin world has broken down how far the legalese in the great taking reaches into bitcoin apps, wallets etc?

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Thanks I have a paper copy. I was trying to find out what people in the bitcoin world are saying about the subject.

The book came to mind with stuff in the news about collaboration between bitcoin CEO/apps and banks etc.

Check out

It is 8 months ago but might be interesting.

I had alarms going off in my brain about exactly this when I hear about companies collaborating with banks and CC companies to help people borrow against their bitcoin. Sounds like a trap drawing bitcoiners into this legal setting to me. I’m no expert though.

As nostr:npub1546jstdajzf6gw4plvr6z4kpcaxtvl3h0zjdv5gw8tx8uup5d6rq8ef9mt says true bitcoin is self custody not etf’s etc.

Checkout Simon’s website.

Thanks will do
