As CBDCs Approach, Many Fear a Future Where Digital Money Gives Governments and Technocrats Unprecedented Financial Control

There's a new wave of mass public social conditioning coming very soon. This programming, while not obvious, has to do with your future money and how it will be digitized and controlled to the point that government and big tech will have more control over it than you do. The control over your money by the technocrats isn't the Trojan horse as much as the mental programming surrounding how you view their control of your money.
It's obvious that I'm talking about the soon-to-arrive Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Money for all, control over it for none—well, at least not for the public.
Control over your financial movement is a crucial step for the government and the technocratic society we're moving toward at an ever-increasing pace. If we, the public, lose control over when and how we're able to move our finances, then we risk placing control over our lives into the hands of a select few.
The further down the road we move as a society toward fully digital money, the harder it will be to hold government officials accountable. If you think it's difficult to hold our government accountable for its actions now, just wait until it has the power to shut off your money flow for attempting to do so. CBDCs could act as a financial water spigot that can be restricted to a trickle or shut off completely with the flick of a switch.
I thought it was fake news when I heard that during Trump's visit to China, he praised their heavy handed dystopian digital financial system. But upon further research, I found that he did.
So what will happen to other cryptocurrencies that some of the wiser members of society have set up for themselves in preparation for such an event? I'm not sure yet, but if the past is any indicator of the future, the elites ushering in CBDCs will want to completely crush any currencies operating outside of their control.
We've witnessed governments pressure crypto exchanges and projects through stiff regulations until they could no longer operate. I've seen and experienced this firsthand as the owner of a crypto project hosted on a decentralized crypto exchange.
It was brutal, and unfortunately, investors, users, and exchanges lost money that the government didn't seem to care about. I forget the number of exchanges and crypto projects that failed to survive the heavy retroactive regulations, but it was a lot.
I guarantee that Central Bank Digital Currencies won't face anywhere near the scrutiny that crypto upstarts faced just a few years ago.
I'll end this update with a bit of friendly advice to everyone reading this short article: diversify your crypto holdings as much as you can, and do so as widely and safely as possible. Because when CBDCs are launched in the United States, the Federal Reserve may pursue policies that challenge currencies it views as threats to its financial authority.
When it happens—and I believe it will—remember this short article. The Trojan horse won't look like a horse. It will arrive on the back of social programming that the public has already accepted as normal.
