Yup. Brits ain't no different. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
There is something else that I observed which really doesn't get mentioned at all on here. People here seem to be too fixated on their Bitcoin obsession to consider this possibility: cash could make a comeback. There are some cafรฉs, restaurants, and pubs etc. in the city that have signs on their windows that say things like "prefer cash", "cash preferred", or "10% off with cash!". It seems that many local businesses are growing increasingly distrustful of credit card usage. I can't blame them ๐คทโโ๏ธ. I also know plenty of people (myself included) who have withdrawn most of their funds.
I agree. Most people can't handle anarchy. It doesn't mean it won't happen. It's happened on plenty of occasions in the past. But, I understand where you're coming from. Citizens of wealthier countries have grown too complacent and comfortable to take any initiative. And government and corporate obedience requires minimal effort. Whatever! Their choices and consequences are their own.
You're right. You probably would be able to make your own private ledger. Unless they begin to implement new laws and regulations that will prohibit the usage of certain software and hardware products. They could easily do that.
Again... who knows?
My daughter's safe. That's really all I care about. ๐
Anyway I have to finish making breakfast. Can't be late for school.
Yea, yea! I know! ๐คฃ It was just a joke. ๐
Lol. I just assumed that you misspelled lesbian...
Lol!!! The episode with Jimmy on steroids. Classic!!! ๐คฃ
Because everything's gone to shit, mate! And that show always does a fantastic job making fun of all of it. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
๐คฃ I haven't seen that show in ages. Thanks for that. Good show to watch while I'm drunk. ๐๐ป
Lol. I think it's time to put the glass down, no? ๐๐
Daughter is finally asleep. ๐ฅณ๐ Mr. Moray's turn. ๐ฅ
I mean, yea. It did seem a bit more interesting back then. My disinterest is probably just a result of me gettin' old. ๐คทโโ๏ธ LOL. Big 4-0 this year! ๐ฅณ
Haven't glanced at it in years ๐คทโโ๏ธ. It always just seemed like a bunch of biased complaints disguised as news articles. Not any different from the regular news.
I've been pondering the whole CBDC distribution issue for years. They're not even remotely sure how they'll accomplish this. Personally, I don't even believe they'll get around to it. And if they do, the world will (more than likely) be in a state of near total anarchy. But I can imagine that, once (or if) they figure out a way to suppress volatility, they'll simply create their own private ledgers for all of their filthy shit, and our account funds will simply be converted into the CBDC almost overnight. That way, most of the major central banks get to stay in business and maintain their global surveillance network, all the while they can simply carry around their funds in their pockets and do whatever they bloody wantโnot that they don't already. But, like I said, I don't even think that they'll make it to the implementation stage. Who knows? ๐คทโโ๏ธ There are many ways that this could pan out.
Just the man to his left looks even slightly worried. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Perhaps most did work for it. I can't say that I did. Generational wealth, mate ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Best of luck to ya, though! ๐
Lol. Well played Bukele. Well played. ๐๐๐ You can't help but be a touch curious about Dorsey, Mallers, and Saylor as well.
