Democrats do have a stranglehold on the native American population though
Can confirm on the weather front. Heaviest rain I've seen in years for a short while there.
CBDCs run on a federated byzantine consensus algorithm, not Proof of Stake.
Scroll down to the video, they explain it pretty well.

By the way, there's no barrier to entry here. Buy and hold through the financial system reset.

the average person won't need to. Only early adopters and investors. Widespread adoption is already inevitable. I'm not talking about Bitcoin. I'm talking institutional adoption at the nation / central bank / bank / fintech / payment provider and P2P levels.
Everything of value will be tokenized on blockchain. It's the internet of value. Realize this and secure an early position. This market swallows all markets. Again, I'm not talking about Bitcoin.
the ones that survive won't be
Hey buddy I just saw Ripple released a new commercial today... 5 minutes long explaining how their CBDC platform works. Thought you might be interested
USA? Uphold. Or you can buy it or trade to it from within wallets like Atomic / Exodus etc.
About a year ago people starting sharing a list from one of their documents. As far as I recall it had
XRP
Cardano
Solana
Stellar
Algorand
Celo
Here's a screen shot of the page

Here's a fun one.
Know who Rosie Rios is?
Look in your pocket, you've got her signature if you have a $1, $5, $20 etc bill on you.
Now she's a Ripple board member. In her words "the train has already left the station".
One of so many.

a few of my favorites there... these are all YouTubes who are also on Twitter
I like Cardano as well. Bought a bunch at 5 cents and sold around a buck. Could have done better, and maybe I should have held it long term, but I'm basically XRP - XLM - Flare - SGB these days.
Cardano will be one of the long term survivors though, I'm sure. It's also a "WEF coin".
I'm not on Twitter but I follow a bunch of Youtubers who've kept me in the loop over the last several years.
believe me, XRP community has more conspiracy theories going on than Q, etc
The difference I've found is that our shit keeps coming true and is bigger than we even imagined a few years ago. Super bullish on this.
XRP is obviously better due to being a micro-fraction of the cost of other blockchains in fees, 3-5 second settlement time, and zero downtime, hacks or issues at all in over 10 years.
It's also better because it's not controlled by whales or miners. This is important for actual banks, nations and institutions. They want to know & trust who runs it. At the same time, enemy countries and competitor banks can run nodes and they don't have to trust each other. In real terms, it's among the most decentralized networks among major layer 1's. Much moreso than BTC, ETH and almost all POW/POS blockchains that are largely centralized in the hands of miners and whales.
Smart contracts... "Hooks" is already a feature of XRPL. Flare is about to take that to the next level. Also there are XRPL side chains... that can have EVM capability (for example) without bogging down the main Ledger.
Governance is by majority vote on the consensus nodes. Usually when Ripple proposes an upgrade, it passes. Although, for example right now they are working to add more robust NFT support to the Ledger. This was proposed by Ripple but they still don't have enough votes to pass it. It will likely pass soon, but anyway, that's how that works.
As for WW3... use your imagination. What has the narrative been about Russia and BRICS using blockchain to "evade sanctions" or create an alternative to the USD as a global reserve currency? Do you know how many nations are on board with Ripple and XRP right now? Do they even actually have another realistic option?
I'm really just showing you the tip of the iceberg here. You'll watch this play out in real time. One by one they'll fall (not all) and by then you'll have missed out.
A CBDC is basically tokenized fiat that exists on an XRP Ledger side chain (Ripple has something called the "CBDC Private Ledger"... basically it's a clone of XRPL that connects to the real and open XRPL but has different rules, permissions, and programmability) -- or the Stellar networks (such as how USDC runs on Stellar -- USDC itself may even become the USA "CBDC"... think "private-public partnership") -- or something like Algorand.
In any case, if you want to avoid whatever limitations USA digital money might have in the future, just hold XRP now and hang onto it until you see how this plays out.
The XRPL is not built to enslave you, and neither will it be permitted to. What certain nations or entities decide to build on top of it is perhaps another story. But you can always hold a stake in the open, public, permissionless XRPL.
And by "always" I mean, you can do it now, knowing what you hold, and be so wealthy when they flip the switch on the new system that you're not going to be worrying about the bullshit they push on the masses.
Whether or not a CBDC happens is really up for debate right now in the USA. Within the Fed and politicians there's a lot of dissent on that. Just because Maxine Waters wants one doesn't mean it will happen like that.
There's a big movement for privacy of digital money and for USA to be the "anti-China" when it comes to their Digital Yuan.
Either way, and it doesn't matter, because instant payments and instant domestic and cross border settlement is happening. XRP Ledger is already set to be the global convertible currency that all nations can use to exchange anything with. Ripple will be bigger than Google or Amazon.
I'm telling you guys this because after all the bullshit we've been through, we deserve to be the new 1% if we're wise enough to be proactive about what's happening.
Says who? I didn't accept OP's premise. XRP Ledger is open for anyone to use and develop on. It's the fastest major crypto, cheapest major crypto in terms of fees, built in DEX, side chains exist where CBDCs are built that can have their own set of rules and permissions, native NFT support is about to go live, Flare is about to go live (if you don't know what that is, learn now).
XRP is the best tech of all the majors. Yes the WEF IMF BIS ECB FED etc know this and already have tested the heck out of it in preparation for it to be a global convertible bridge currency.
It's a sleeping giant right now. When this thing wakes up (soon) it will make 2017/18 legendary XRP bull run look like piddly-squat.
No, I don't think it's bad at all. I think it might just save us from WW3 and a prolonged economic depression. Those who get left behind missing the biggest transfer of wealth in generations might resent it a little, though. That includes haters and BTC maxis.
I wish I had a "better" source at the moment but you'll have to dig a little to find out these things.
SWIFT is plugging in to RippleNet as well. The Clearing House is a partner. DTCC just 2 days ago announced they're going live with R3 (whose Corda Settler utilizes XRP... for a multi quadrillion $ market).
Developed by Ripple partner Accenture. Invest accordingly. All the money flows through XRP Ledger.

Multiple factors at play
Dude I heard that same sound a couple hundred miles west of you about 2 hours ago. I live near a noisy road but this made me go outside to see WTF it was. Sounded like it was in the air flying low. Since it went away pretty quick I assumed it was some truck on a rumble strip. But I know it wasn't, this sounded like a low flying aircraft that was flying slow and noisy. Not a helicopter or regular plane for sure though.
