I’ve been seeing a lot about this coming online soon. I work in NYC a lot and places are already not accepting cash anymore. What are some things people can do as individuals to get through this situation without having to actually participate. We figured a way through the vaccines, there’s gotta be a way through this.

I was going to make a post just like this.
Things are getting so tough and scary for my family. We’re struggling and we’re not even in the ugly part yet. We certainly aren’t prepped, because we never could afford to be.
Hoping for some helpful answers. If I could just know for sure they we could afford our bare necessities until the end of this, I’d feel so much better about all of this.
The one good thing is several states have already banned CBDC. Maybe others will follow suit.
I’m in the same boat. My wife and I both work (I’m self employed) and still don’t know how or where the next mortgage payment will come from. If they take what little we have and go to this system I don’t know what will happen. I have a bit of crypto and a little silver, but definitely not enough to survive on. I wanted to prep more but just couldn’t afford it.
A lot of us are in this situation fren. I laugh when people say "just take $30 and buy 1 silver coin".
News flash...for most of us, if we have $30 we're spending it on food so our kids have something to eat other than instant ramen noodles. The world needs lower rent and food prices now. Not strategies for the wealthy to preserve their wealth while the poor and struggling lose access to what little they have left.
Your priorities are solid, food is the #1 thing to be concerned about. Rising prices on food are 1 front of the war being waged against us. And it will hit those already struggling and with kids hardest. This is intentional.
Dumb questions to follow, are you hitting food bank(s) in your area or applying for any state aid (EBT, WIC)? If you qualify take advantage of everything you can lay hands on. And do it without even one second of hesitation.
The other thing is if you do not cook learn to do so ASAP. Free to watch vids all over the internet. Most (myself included) got further & further away from cooking as our lives got more complex. It's at the point now for many that "food" is thought of as a restaurant, DoorDash / UberEarts, drive-thru / pickup, or frozen / microwaved.
This is on purpose as it creates engineered helplessnes and dependence when costs go up. Not saying this is your case but to illustrate what is going on now. Further, if restaurants closed, delivery apps crash, drive-thru & markets closed, there would be insta-riots in large cities. This is by design. Learning how to cook from a simple* ingredient set insulates you from that. It is also fun and something to get kids involved early. I wish my mom had, would have made a dramatic difference to my living standard later on in life.
*canned vegetables & meats, shelf-stable basics (corn meal & grits, oats & oat flour, white rices) and more, all cheap.
Yes exactly. I couldn’t afford metals but I have some crypto that would help so much if it would go up in value.
We’ve done everything we can but with the way people on here talk, it is apparently nowhere near enough.
You have to start somewhere and most critical is your food supply, Each time you shop for groceries add a couple non-expensive items to build up your stores. It helps greatly if you already know how to cook as that will let you get the most from what you have on hand. If you don't know how that must be your #1 priority starting today. 1000's of vids on Bitchute, Odysee, Rumble, & YouTube to learn from, that's how I did it.
You don't need to put back expensive MREs or 5 gallon prepper buckets to get by. Nearly all canned food is 3+ year dated, many 5+, and they will last twice that if kept in a cool area. Many vids on what types are best (avoid green beans unless you like squishy food) and how to use them. But the best part is that most of these are under $1 each. You'd be surprised how quickly you can stack up a 3 week suppy then a 3 month supply if you add a few things each time you market. And shop around. In my area one market has black beans for $0.77 and another @ $1.49. The difference one being store brand and the other name brand.
And the other thing is get a garden going even if it's just a few pots on your porch. What makes canned goods enjoyable is if you have fresh ingredients to go with them. Tomatoes, peppers & cukes easy and bush types will all grow in pots. While your at it, look for old cookbooks especially ones centered on "one-pot" or crockpot meals. Canned food excels in these. The main thing to keep in mind when you don't have extra funds. That is, you can still play the game but you have to play it differently. I've been there, several times over the years. Cannot fully convey how much stress was lifted when I learned how to cook and as a bonus I eat more healthy now.
Learn natural foraging, get a book on what native plants are edible, start a garden, if you get all that going, try the next step
Could this be the scare event that's need to wake people up? No more cash, just a highly controlled digital currency?
I think I read where 23 states including my state TX are passing bills to institute state gold backed digital currency. We are allowed this under our federal constitution
Pray. Ask God for help. Then believe that the help will come. Ask yourself if you honestly believe that humanity has survived this long strictly on it's own. There's just no way. Look how hard It is to survive now with all the modern conveniences and hygiene... You're here now for a reason. Ask God for help, guidance and abundance. Then use the brain he gave you to do what you think you need to do.
The PUBLIC had to believe it would happen and it was important that they knew this was what the cabal wanted. BUT too many are awake now. I dont believe it will happen. Try and stay positive. GOD BLESS.
Use cash as much as possible. Get bills in the mail and pay by check.
FedCoin coming in July, one of many segues to move towards wide acceptance of CBDC. Also... a facet of the 5th generation war we are in. Info and how what you read & watch shapes what you believe to be inevitable. CBDC is not inevitable despite everything you see coming at you. The info barrage is to manufacture consensus where everywhere you look you see something that appears to have wide acceptance so you'll slump your shoulders and just go along with it. So what can you do to impede it?
Besides spreading the word about how anti-freedom it is and writing to your Rep/Sen, stop feeding it. If you have a mortgage, pay more on the principal. If you have a credit card, pay off the balance and don't use it. Doing these reduce the amount you pay as interest, the vig for using funds you don't have. The next thing is to use cash as much as you can. Pay for everything in your daily lives with it. Besides the interest on the balance you carry with a credit card, there is a transaction fee. That is paid by the merchant to the issuing bank. You won't save anything on the purchase by not using your card but the bank won't get the fee. Lastly, buy used items whenever you can and put off replacement of expensive items as long as possible.
There is nothing novel in the above, it's what our parents, grandparents, & beyond did as second nature. It may not seem like much and that you are only fiddling around at the margins. But, when enough people do the same the effect will be staggering for the banks. And if what you are doing is known to be your direct protest to any form of trackable, restrictable, time-limited, and non-private digital currency; digital currency will not happen.
If we had a secret handshake, pede, I'd love to give you and the other frens some help. How do we start seeing each other on the streets and checking on each other's welfare? I'm not rich but we've been able to shove cans and beans into the pantry; if a dark time hits, where do we all go to talk? I've heard the libraries on Saturdays, which sounds good as it would be not a looter's target. Churches, obviously, but normies will also be there, so we need to judiciously use our language to discern each other. We can get through together one way or another.
I'm afraid we might have to shut it all down for a while at some point. If we don't earn an income, they can't demand a portion of our income. Isolated communities have survived for centuries without outside help. No reason why we can't do it again.
They've spent decades trying to make us weak and dependent. Start working on making your family less dependent. Learn to preserve food. Start a garden. Supplement your diet with hunting and fishing. Shift your retirement savings to investments which align with your beliefs. Shop local. Pay with cash. Discourage your children from spending thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated in an education system which hates us for our values.
I am certainly not going to use a phone that I pay for to use their unwanted digital currency. They will have to find another way for those of use without tracking devices. Oh yea, its called cash.
