<p>[QUOTE=&quot;montynj3417, post: 8105622, member: 89220&quot;]Sorry for putting in a reply to such an old post. My comment is that there is going to be a &quot;digital dollar&quot; and we will have digital, virtual currency in the not-too-distant future, if the folks who own the central banking system can achieve this milestone of societal control. The nasty surprise is going to be that the only people who have any actual cash will be guys like us, liscenced and registered numismatists, who&#039;ll be able to buy &amp; sell coins and paper money under ever-tightening federal supervision. For everyone else, and more so for their kids and grandkids, cash will be a quaint memory and all of our financial transactions; our &quot;paychecks&quot; and paying bills will be embodied in the screens we now use to innocently jaw at each other about hallucinatory mint errors and the spot price of silver. If you buy a dozen ears of corn at a roadside farmstand, you&#039;re going to swipe your &quot;Cashcard&quot; on the stand keeper&#039;s digital device and the amount will of course be debited from your account, just as it is now, except that paying with money from your pocket won&#039;t be an option; there won&#039;t be any money in your pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did somebody say &quot;social control&quot;?&nbsp; Yeah, just imagine the control a situation like this will give to whomever;&nbsp; let&#039;s say &quot;them&quot;, or &quot;they&quot;. We&#039;re already slipping down the proverbial slope towards &quot;vaccine passports&quot;, aren&#039;t we? How easy would it be, to connect the availability of your digital banking &quot;privileges&quot; to your compliance of yourself and your family members to vaccine compliance or any other &quot;desirable social program&quot; our government and its owners would like to see enforced?</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who have signed up for Minimum Basic Income programs at whatever level of federal or state authority, it would be strictly No Contest; get with the program or the cash card stops working and your kids go hungry; after due notification of your delinquency has been furnished to you, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point of all this is: be careful of what you wish for;&nbsp; that digitalized, virtual money and banking is a hugely powerful genie to let out of the bottle. It&#039;s a convenience and perhaps, a more economical monetary system, but it is also potentially vital piece of enforcement infrastructure to implement whatever &quot;socially desirable program&quot; our plutocratic-technocratic elites believe will smooth out all of the hassles, friction and problems of how best they can get us to comply and become smoothly-working parts of the machine that they envision as our society.</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize for the length of this comment. Question the program.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
