sdyUK Prepares to Introduce a ‘Digital Pound’ Central Bank Digital Currency
https://www.breitbart.com/euro...nk-digital-currency/The de facto head of His Majesty’s Treasury announced this week that the Bank of England has begun consultations on implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) that could usher in the globalist vision of a cashless society in which all transactions are traceable by the government.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt revealed that, as a part of his ‘Edinburgh Reforms’ of Britain’s financial services, the Bank of England will begin consultations on the design of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) which would act as a digital version of the pound sterling.
Hunt, an anti-Brexit, pro-China figure resurrected from the David Cameron era, said in a written statement to Parliament that the government will begin “bringing forward a consultation in the coming weeks to explore the case for a central bank digital currency – a sovereign digital pound – and consult on a potential design.”
Central Bank Digital Currencies are also heavily supported by the globalist Davos-based World Economic Forum (WEF), which listed it among the technologies that will “change the world by 2027“.
The Biden administration in the United States and the European Union are also both working towards the implementation of digital versions of their currencies.

RightwireAnother big chunk out of freedom. Nothing like the government knowing where every penny you spend goes. Much worse, they can control it.

BBMWI'm sure the Fed is drawing up similar plans. They just haven't announced them yet.

Yep, it’s all tied together.

gearhoundsGovernments wanted to destroy bitcoin trust because it was impinging on their plans to do the same thing with one major difference; instead of hiding money, they want to control every red cent of it. Dissolving physical currency is big government’s wet dream.

c1steveNo, it is very similar to cutting the Jews in Germany off from everything, one at a time. They will choke off the conservatives, leaders, patriots by stopping their ability to buy food, fuel, to travel, etc. They will start off by choking off just a few enemies first, then more and more until all their enemies are dead or in concentration camps.
Just like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, commies in China, etc. Power, power, power! This is what Nancy and her likes dream of every day and every night.

IntrepidTravelerDon't we already have digital currency? I'm pretty sure that there are not as many dollar bills sitting in a vault somewhere as there are in actual use. I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that only about 10% of currency actually "exists" as paper/ coin.
What the .gov is trying to do is to make it a purely digital system, not a hybrid one like we have now. (For the record, I oppose this, for all the stated reasons.)
Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.
