Be aware that there are other proposals for “electronic money” which are not nearly so protective of individuals’ privacy. Chaum’s proposals are intended to preserve the privacy attributes of cash, so the term “digital cash” is appropriate. But other electronic replacements for cash not only lack its privacy, but would actually facilitate computer monitoring by putting more detailed information into databases, and by discouraging the use of cash. If you see a proposal for an electronic money system, check to see whether it has the ability to preserve the privacy of financial transactions the way paper money does today. If not, realize that the proposal is designed to harm, not help, individual privacy. Hal Finney (Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash, 1993)

The writers don’t seem to realize that the CBvS has always been a political working arm of the criminal government. Read more ⟶

The eyes of our citizens are not yet sufficiently open to the true cause of our distresses. They ascribe them to every thing but their true cause, the banking system; a system, which, if it could do good in any form, is yet so certain of leading to abuse, as to be utterly incompatible with the public safety and prosperity. Thomas Jefferson (June 22nd, 1819)

The Spanish Prisoner
I mentioned before in my post “On money, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general” that the financial elite will try their best to co-opt Bitcoin (and true cryptocurrencies in general) because it poses a serious threat to their global monetary system of enslavement.
