With a digital currency which is controlled by government, 'they' tell you what you can and cannot spend it on...
For example: If they decide you've had your monthly 'quota' of any given 'stuff' - gasoline, home goods, meat, etc. - they can literally cut you off from access to that digital 'money'...

people in certain circles are stashing gold and silver.
good idea? or will the Neu Order decree to be valueless?
I do think a lot of comfortable, even arrogant, people, will be outraged when the changes start.

So, you are saying it makes rationing easier? There are easier ways of doing that.

I'm often here on this site complaining about the plans of the elite, to subjugate us under a control system which totally removes personal agency in terms of how we are able to interact with the world. They plan ULEZ zones, 15 minute cities, a diet of insects for our kids, central bank digital currencies, and so on.

Ah , fear mongering again. You're a human, what do actually want to live? Food, water and shelter, end of. You have a gold bar and say it could buy you a sack of potatoes, now of what use is that gold bar to the person selling you the potatoes. What could he buy with that gold bar? In hard times (the times that are being talked about) the sack of potatoes are vastly more valuable that a thousand gold bars cos you can't eat gold.
The bottom line, humans do not really need electricity, gas/petrol, modern sewerage etc. etc. Humans only want those things for luxury. It's only the governments forcing your employers to pay your wages into the banking system. So you do a job and make clear to the employer you work for cash only. They could refuse saying "they have to pay you by bank", so refuse to work, the business stops and when all the businesses stop and then is no economy for the "elites" to milk, because even the elites need an economic infrastructure to survive. IE. who grows their food, who unblocks their toilets when they get blocked, who and how do they get electricity with the manpower and maintaining that infrastructure. The list is end less. It might happen in small areas but world wide, naah.
