The Economic Collapse blog posted "The CBDCs Are Coming, And The Elite Plan To Use These 'Digital Currencies' To Enslave Humanity." It gives a nutshell overview of the current state of CBDC announcements and you can read it all at the link provided below.
It's weird to speak with people who think CBDCs are farfetched and can never happen. You can show them every press release or whitepaper authored by a government saying "we are going to introduce a CBDC" or "we are going to eliminate cash" and doubters come up with bizarre (to me) justifications for interpreting the plain language published by the government as something innocuous.
If you ask them what conduct has that government engaged in over the past few decades that leads you to believe it is disinterested in monitoring all transactions and controlling how money is spent, and you'll get a blank stare.
It's like speaking with people who doubt gold's inherent value, especially during economic crises. For the past several years central banks have literally been breaking purchase records for gold. Why would central banks, the entities that "control" a country's money supply, be so aggressive in seeking to trade its currency for giant amounts of "worthless" gold bullion? The answer should be self-evident but, again, you'll hear really weird explanations that deny reality.

"FedNow is not a CBDC or replacing cash. It's just a service that acts as a medium of exchange to allow one to buy and sell electronically and to send payments of electronic dollars so that every DC-regulated bank can use it to record and track all customer transactions on behalf of DC. Unlike a CBDC, which is totally different."

An economist points out DC's goal of 3% annual inflation means every 10 years you automatically lose over 30% of your purchasing power.
It doesn't have to be like this. Looking at all of human history, it is not normal to carry around pieces of paperized cloth and call it money.
Your grandfathers (and for some even their fathers) carried around actual money in their pocket, either dollars redeemable for gold or silver coins. During most of US history it was obvious that the power to "coin Money" described in the US Constitution literally meant gold and silver were to be used as the nation's money.
Goldbacks recapture a bit of that period of normalcy, allowing one to carry around small bits of gold for the express purpose of buying everyday items.

Selling for goldbacks? Here is the free calculator that can help with making change in fiat if that is needed:
One of the natural results of DC copy pasting trillions of USD is it has t be put to work, even if the "work" is a bit sus:
"The more of Silicon Valley I’m exposed to the more I’m convinced that 40% of companies that raise money are fraudulent, 58% are real but just never yield returns, and the remaining 2% carry everyone on their backs." - Alex Cohen (spendoso/com) from his Twitter.
Avoid crowds.
Holding dollars as the USA starts spending $1 trillion per year on *just* interest payments is a pretty terrible idea. Look at this chart from our friends at FRED.
The silver lining is the general expectation that as the dollar continues to sink, the price of gold in USD will continue to rise. That is, for every dollar someone thinks you are wasting on gold, it is likely to come back to you dressed up like a five.
Assuming you've spent your life in the USA, what makes you think DC is going to solve this problem? Has spending ever gone down? Will DC realize the advantage of selling off assets and pay down the debt?
Or do you think the empire of military bases and interactions literally all over the world will end?
Nah.
The addiction to spending that is encouraged and also required by the donor-cum-bribery class will implode the US empire.
To survive the implosion, you'll need hard assets such as gold.
24 CBDCs in 5 years? CBDCs are designed to extinguish the last of financial privacy and carry out the WEF/UN/NWO goal of total control over all aspects of the financial system.
History across all cultures, dynasties, empires, and nations has manifold examples of the power of being able to "pocket" a person's wealth using gold. Gold is anonymous, has no public ledger, has no counterparty risk, it cannot be electronically tracked, and is completely offgrid.
From the CoinTelegraph article, "According to a survey by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), 93% of central banks are already researching central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and there could be up to 15 retail and nine wholesale CBDCs in circulation by 2030."
