I hope this doesn’t turn out to be the playbook that TPTB use to justify putting a CBDC into place and removing physical currency from existence. Everyone knows how corrupt most politicians are and especially Joe Biden, is. If the deep state ever gets overturned and the Chinese and Ukrainian payments to the Biden crime family are ever documented, there could be a call to issue a CBDC and remove cash from the system based on the narrative that this would be the only way to prevent it from happening again. If the only system was one where all payments are traceable and documented then crooked politicians would never be able to get away with taking payoffs. The way around it of course would be to use gold to bribe the politicians. What if gold were to be in a CBDC backed and redeemable in gold like the new system proposed in Texas? Probably no foolproof way to be 100% sure but the evil forces looking to implement total control and a CBDC, won’t stop trying.
