Of course ‘Big Gov’ will market CBDC’s (this is what the thread is about really) as some form of ‘safe and equitable’ money, the typical bullshit platitudes / virtue signaling bullshit all the Libtards gobble up like a turkey happily basting itself with marinade.
I fear CBDCs will happen, but the saving grace that I think the US have is the power of the individual States.
Your USD in the bank is already a form of digital currency - the fact is you don’t own that account, and it can be seized any time. Any form of digital USD within the Fed wire system is already traceable and directly connected to you.
Maybe, and this is a big big Maybe, if CBDCs start to roll out, maybe a year or a decade from now, we would need some form of equilibrium for local trade.
Barter/Trade is not illegal today … until the IRS assholes want their cut (if you don’t declare).
