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.

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.
