A warning to elites & regular folk alike - 'The Great Taking' approaches & we all must prepare.

Although you are in essence correct - fiat currency is not backed up by gold as it should be - the difference between cash & CBDCs is that CBDCs will be programmable, in that the issuing authority/government will be able to control how you are able to spend those 'tokens'. With fiat currency as it is currently, we can take cash from an ATM and use it to buy literally anything we want 0 with CBDCs they won't allow you to spend more than a certain amount on booze, they probably will be banning the sale of cigarettes at some point (there's a crazy plan afoot in the UK currently by which people under the age of 18 at the current time will never be allowed to purchase cigarettes legally). There are many ways in which the funds can be manipulated by this fact that they are programmable. Certainly you won't be able to take notes from an ATM & then spend £50 on coc aine from Fred the dealer who hangs around the street corner on a Friday night to await his customers. All that will stop. Furthermore it will be much easier for them to deduct fines for bad behaviour, to collect taxes, and even to switch off the money flow either temporarily or permanently, if you are 'unpersoned' by the government for perceived crimes against the state (such as attending a protest). These are a few of the ways they will be able to manipulate our lives through the demonic power of a CBDC financial system.

No, we're not talking about 'rationing' (which makes it sound like somehow it's a benign plan to be more efficient) - we're talking about how the issuing authority/ government will utilise the CBDC system to enslave you completely, to force you to comply with a social credit scroe system such as the diabolical system in place in China currently. You seem to be having a hard time grasping this - are you by any chance a Communist? Do you think that having total programmable control over the currency which people depend on for their living a good thing? Because that would make you some sort of evil authoritarian in cahoots with the New World Order.

I'm going to be investing in a great pair of bolt cutters. I'll hire myself out for break-ins at government premises...

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'...

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

It will make rationing easier but that isn’t the main goal.

Control is the goal.

Control your diet.
Control your movement.
Control your medication.
Control your speech.
Control pretty much everything you do.

Because if you aren’t a good boy you won’t get a CBDC cookie.

CBDC is a Social Credit wet dream.
