By plebs, for plebs. A synopsis of the best content of the day. Don’t miss a beat. #NostReport

Why privacy matters?

1. Autonomy: Privacy allows individuals to have control over their personal information, enabling them to make independent choices and decisions without fear of judgment or interference.

2. Personal safety: Privacy protects individuals from harm or danger, such as stalking, harassment, or identity theft.

3. Freedom of expression: Privacy encourages free expression and open communication, without fear of retaliation or persecution.

4. Trust: Privacy is essential for building trust between individuals and institutions, as it establishes a sense of respect and responsibility for personal information.

5. Equality: Privacy helps ensure that everyone is treated equally, regardless of race, gender, religion, or other personal characteristics, by preventing discrimination and bias.

Democracy: Privacy is critical to maintaining democracy by enabling citizens to communicate freely with one another and their representatives without fear of reprisal or government surveillance.

Innovation: Privacy promotes innovation by providing a safe environment for individuals and companies to experiment and develop new ideas and technologies without fear of theft or abuse.

CBDCs NGMI

I observe that some individuals are pessimistic about the future, and I find it difficult to comprehend their perspective. Is my viewpoint unrealistic, or is their perception misguided? As humans, we are predominantly motivated by financial incentives when determining our actions. Therefore, do central banks not realize that they cannot compete with a monetary protocol that provides liberation in every aspect?

I acknowledge that some people, such as the stereotypical Bratwurstfresser driving a brand new Audi or the average Starbucks consumer with the latest iPhone model, may not prioritize sovereignty. Nonetheless, I find it heartening to witness the adoption statistics of the eNaira in Nigeria. Nigerians, who are mostly unbanked and lack good credit scores, are opting for anything except the eNaira as their payment method. When it comes to transacting, people prefer a liquid and reliable currency to credits. A Nigerian grocer, for instance, would prefer money instead of credits when selling fruits, and his next door neighbor car mechanic in Lagos would simply refuse payment in eNaira.

We here all comprehend the value propositions that Bitcoin offers to compete with fiat currency. CBDCs have value propositions that contradict Bitcoin's. Incentives dictate behavior, and people will find transacting in anything except CBDCs more advantageous. CBDCs are the worst type of fiat currency as they are programmable, subject to censorship, cancellation, depletion, debasement, conditional use, and cannot be owned. Financial incentives are crucial for survival, and those who have ever struggled to make ends meet will realize this. Therefore, CBDCs are not a viable option for the majority of people and they will choose not to denominate their productivity as such.

#[0]​ tell us why CBDCs are NGMI. “Do you want CBDC credits for that chicken, or sound money???” 🐓
