Outside of returning to God & election integrity I believe the greatest threat to our liberty is the implementation of CBDC.

I would love to discuss creating technology to combat what is currently an inevitability. Any other tech professionals around that would like to set up a regular discussion and game planning session?

Technology is very fragile. Environmental disasters, cyber-warfare, infrastructure failures of all kinds can and will disrupt anything that relies on computers to function. Credit cards and crypto work great until the lights go out. Also, all electronic transaction mechanisms are able to be turned off by someone.

CBDCs are really just a fancy name for an upgraded credit card. Central banks today provide you with a digital currency that isn't backed by anything. They already can track all of your spending and can turn it off at any moment.

Distributed consensus based crypto is vulnerable to spoofed wallet attacks where whoever wants to control the state can just create 51% more wallets. Centralized crypto exchanges would create a new set of digital oligarchies.

Gold and silver are ok, but they are too big to use for most things. Are we going to purchase breakfast in gold coins? That's quite a tip!

Fiat currency is bad because it is not backed by anything, but it is the least bad option when compared to CBDCs, consensus backed blockchains or carrying around gold bars and coins. Fiat currency just works all the time.

The problem is not in the way we store value, or the way we transact. The problem is the fraud and abuse of the system by the government and big businesses and use of the system as a mechanism of control. Digital systems are far more easy to defraud and abuse. The best thing that can be done at this point in history is to un-digitize our use of currency where possible. Keep using fiat paper money and fiat coins to discourage their abolishment.

As a crypto Enthusiasts and NFT artists I do believe crypto is the answer to the cbdc, the main issue is that the vast majority of cryptos are largely owned by a small group of individuals just look at Sol, Algo, aptos and so on. The other issue is that the block producers are also controlled by a few companies or people. They say that eth is decentralized because it has so man block producers (BOs but what they don't tell you is that the same company owns something like 80% of them. The coin would have to have true community governance and limit the amount of BP's an individual or a company can hold. Also voting would have to be weighted between an elected board, the Bps and token holders. this way no way group can solely determine how the coin works. I would also like to see a privacy feature built in.

Why not make a WPSN crypto? Investors buy in with precious metals: gold, silver, copper, etc. Or set up a WPSN market place that is valued in precious metals as a back up or alternative. If its based in a group like this one, the clientele is of the sort that is worth doing business with at least.
