So you think that CBDC is just a fancy marketing move to gracefully force people into new rules of money turnover?
Well, I accept that theory.
Why did DARPA create the "internet" when they could already achieve what they want with telegraph/phone lines + satellite comms?
The task was completely different. IP protocol is basically different from what is used for phone lines and satcom. Basic principles and achieved results are different. IP add completely new properties and features that are impossible to implement over phone lines with their SS7 or satcoms,
We do this in the software world: rewrite things to make things easier to manage while the first version of the rewritten software is just at parity with the legacy one.
Name me a single well-known software project that was rewritten from scratch and things become easier to manage.
All decent projects I know are polished and enhanced old code. Some did not changed a lot for decades, and all attempts to rewrite them in "modern language" or "to make easier to manage" by some stupid newfags failed completely.
The one thing it gives is complete surveillance.
It already exists with card/bank account since the time they prohibit anonymous accounts and completely fucked bank secrecy.
When you withdraw cash noone knows how you spent
How many people you know who withdraw cash from their cards as soon as they recieve salary?
You could always go direct to the local farmer and buy some food with cash.
You even don't need cash for that if you have something useful for farmer.
With CBDC it's a mouse click
Just like with card/bank account.
but those are the problems
They could declare man a woman in a second signing some shitty law, but somehow doing something with sheeple bank accounts is a problem for them? Are you kidding me?
If they wanted to control how or where or on what I spent it, they couldn't
They already did it, and did it easily. During coronahoax in some places you was able to pay only with card. And they will easily do that again at much larger scale. Just sign a paper, and that's all. Then you could spend years and millions in courts, and even will be able to pay for that groceries in that shop in cash, but nobody will care, because sheeple will already forgot that they have such thing as cash earlier. They already forgot about cash, really and use bank smartphone apps, not even cards for payments,
Or, f.e. they could ramp up inflation and offer decent compensation to the money you have in your bank account, but not in cash. Who will still keep cash when you will need a bag of cash for a bottle of water or just a credit card with compensated money?
There are many problems for them with the current system.
So name me a single technical problem that will have more complex solution than building completely new system from scratch.
I'm focusing on technical aspect, not juridical, legislative or whatever, because only technical problems could not be solved by just signing some paper.
Cash/debit cards (to a lesser extent credit cards) makes that difficult and cumbersome etc.
How? Technically. It is just a databases, where you could add fields, triggers, procedures, views, functions and create any logic for user you want. It is well-established, carefully tested and ready-to-go things in every single implementation.
CBDC wont be allowed to be exchanged to cash like debit card/credit card is.
What stop elites to not allow cash withdrawal from accounts? They already easily do that during coronahoax and sheeple gladly accept that fearing scary virus on dirty sheets of paper. There is no problem for them at all in that.
It's not a representation of cash, it's a new currency entirely.
Card/bank account never was "representation of cash". It is cash always was representation of official currency. Card/bank account was another representation of official currency.
So why they need "new currency", if they do? I'm not shure that CBDC will be "new currency". Everywhere it is "digital dollar", "digital yuan", "digital rouble", "digital %your_currency_name%". Not something completely new like "amero" or like euro was.
What technically prevent using card/bank account for that? Or a record of SSN, or anything?
You just add fileds to whatever database and fill them with links to SSN, car plate, medical data and other databases. Do that in each database and you will have all that in any place at any moment. It is very simple to do technically. And you don't need CBDC for that at all.
What is the real differences between CBDC and card/bank account?
- CBDC is based on blockchain, accounts on database.
- CBDC is new from scratch, accounts is old
- CBDC is fashionable and modern, accounts is routine
- CBDC will need a lot of spending to implement, accounts is already in place.
- CBDC, being centralized, have single point of failure - whoever own private key of blockchain, he could change anything already in it, accounts more distributed and you need many different accesses to change something in all of them.
And so on. I thing the key to CBDC puzzle is somewhere in such things, not in the stupid hype everybody discuss.
I think they need a singular currency that also is on a block chain for it to work with all of these systems in real-time dystopia-style.
Singular currency could have sense only if most of the world is under the control. You can't create singular currency if nobody except few buddies agree to use it.
And again, there is no any technical problems to tie your card/bank account to all that UBI/SocialCredit/Metaverse, whatever and use that extended info in transactions to alter sums, limits, rates, taxes as they wish. And they have it right now without any CBDC.
I could imagine that there could be a singe worldwide CBDC with different local names but with shared blockchain, and that was one of my first guesses, but you need a unified world first.
There is no answer to my question at all.
All things they pose as "how CBDC will be used" is already fully available in current card/bank system. Every single point they show. Technically there is no any problem at all to do all that with your regular card/bank account right now. So why do they need CBDC really?
CBDC, like, e.g., ETH, is designed to be programmable, trackable, and non-fungible.
If you dig deeper in that terms, you will find out that there is no any problem with that things in card accounts too. Programmable - easily. Dtabase triggers and procedures are not a new things at all. Trackable - there is no problems of tracking anything in database. Non-fungible there is no problem in adding a column with unique number.
So, would the currency only be good/legit if you could withdraw 8 million dollars?
Obviously, there should be no any limit on sum of withdrawal. As on sum you could keep with you in travel and so on.
By your logic, even though the second amendment protects American citizens' rights to keep and bear arms, since we aren't allowed to have nuclear ICBMs, we might as well give up the second amendment, entirely. It's all just binary, no continuums, no nuance, etc.?
Seriously - yes, I think there can't be any limits on the owning of any tech. Use of tech outside your property - may be. But definitely not owning. It is just basically stupid. No government could prevent me from building and owning fusion reactor. And even from using it in my property. But it will be wrong thing if I will take my fusor and run it at voltage level when it began to shoot fast neutrons in a pub.
Would you rather have that scenario or a scenario where your car prevents you from going 1 mph over the speed limit, regardless of your tolerance for risk?
But how CBDC is different in that from regular card/bank account? If they want, they could right now implement such limit on card/bank accounts to prevent buying more than 2 rolls of toilet paper, f.e. Just in a second. And CBDC adds nothing to that ability.
Of course you could hack that system in car, or go to the black market trade of toilet paper, but you will be able to do it regardless of CBDC existence.
How about your car let you go over the speed limit and then automatically deducts a $100 ticket from your bank account, every time you go above the speed limit.
That is exactly like many road camera systems work in some EU countries and nearly same as it work in Russia (fine does not deducts immidiately, but if you will have too many unpaid, it will). Without any CBDC at all.
but it can (and will) get a lot worse.
And why they need CBDC for that, when they already have card/bank account system? I still don't get that. Not what they want to achieve with CBDC, but why they need CBDC when they already have everything needed in place. That is my question, not how CBDC planned to work and so on.
I think that CBDC is a mokup or distraction of some kind. Because when you go to details about CBDC you will not find a single thing that require CBDC and can't be done using regular card/bank account system.
I don't see any real use of CBDC for those who try to implement it. They already have everything they need to do things they declare for CBDC.
Say, you already have a microwave oven. And then declare, that you have to buy another one, of different brand to do same things you already do with your old one. So why you want to buy new one, if there is no any real need for it? You like another brand? You want to impress somebody? You believed in ads? What is the real reason?
The issue is that what you're describing is a credit card, rather than a currency.
Cash is not a currency too. That paper thing in your pocket clearly state that it is a note that some amount of currency (dollar) belongs to the holder. Banknote is not a dollar itself, it is only officially accepted representation of it. So with card/bank account (a record that some amount of currency belong to account owner) or CBDC (same as with account, but the record is in blockchain, not plain old database).
Once a CBDC replaces a currency,
Then you can't do all things you described in previous part. Just like if you have a bank/card account and cash is prohibited. Where is the place for CBDC here? How CBDC with prohibited cash is different from cards with prohibited cash?
Right now, you can go to the bank and withdraw an extra $10,000 and keep it in a safe,
And tomorrow they declare old banknotes no longer valid. Or change their value. Or ban them. Or force everybody to hand them to the banks.
What is the point of CBDC here, again?
Once everybody is using a centrally controlled digital currency like this, there will be no privacy ever again.
If you are miss something, I could tell you that most sheeple happily use cards for everything. And even not a cards themselves, that theoretically could be given to another person, but bank apps in cellphones. And modern sheeple will never separate with his phone. There are no any privacy already, with regular card/bank accounts. CBDC will add absolutely nothing to it.
they'll just take 10% of your money and give it to black people, or gays, or whatever other group of people suits their needs.
And why CBDC needed for that if they could easily do exactly the same with card/bank accounts? They could take 10% from your card, they could make all your purchases withdraw 10% more money from card, they could do everything you could imagine, you know, that computer things, they make such things much simplier.
simply giving them the ability to is no different than turning all your guns in and trusting the government will never do anything to hurt you.
They are already able to do all that things you afraid of. With your current card/bank account. And already did multiple times.
Also, notice how you unconciously limit the amount of cash you can withdraw from your card/bank account to $10k. They literally easily do everything they claim they will be able to do with CBDC. I found that, at least, very suspicious.
I think CBDC thing is completely another rabbit hole, not one they want to pose it. Or huge distraction from something we do not notice.
they would be legally allowed to micro manage it without legal hurdles. They can't do that now.
They could legally introduce new form of money with all tons of legislations and other law crap, but they can't change some paragraph of current regulation? Are you kidding me?
Because banks don't have the authority to do that they are just a business not a govt entity
The borders of "just a business" and "govt entity" is nearly non-existent today. Banks could bribe govt entities and govt entities could force business to do anything. Whoever want level of control they attach to CBDC, they could do that with regular bank/card accounts right now without any problem. Either bribe/lobby govt entities, either changing regulations/laws for business.
You cannot go negative interest with cash in circulation
First, I'm talking about digital money - bank/card accounts. Second - inflation perfectly do exactly "negative interest" thing with cash. Longer you hold cash, cheaper it become, less things you could buy. Simple al that.
Cash have important property - it could be transacted and hold anonymously. Both card/bank accounts and CBDC couldn't.
Literally everything you told could be implemented with your existing card/bank accounts without any problems. Everything.
How exactly CBDC is needed for that? What CBDC feature/property exactly?
There is no problems to limit spending from your current card. There is no problems to limit your card to some region. There is no problems to track any transactions from your current card account, apply discounts or fees for certain purchases, connect it to any social credit or compliance system, automatically scale/enlarge your payments according to your vaccination status, whatever.
I can't find anything that really need exactly new blockchain based form of digital money instead of existing database based one.
So the FED and BIS can control every account and monitor every transaction in real time.
They already do exactly the same with regular card/bank accounts without any problems. They could even see what exact groceries you bought in that transaction if you visited any large supermarket. I don't see any need for CBDC here.
You can't create anonymous card/account anymore, if you are not aware. You could only use fake identity to do kind of that stuff, but same way you could make a CBDC account with fake identlty.
if you connect it to a social score system and ID you can control peoples behaviour, movement, velocity of spending and cut off dissidents from society.
What prevents doing that with regular card/bank account? From the technology point of view it does not matter if your account state and transactions stored in blockchain or in regular database. And there is no practical difference between "programming" CBDC or adding a trigger to a database.
Central planners can also go negative interest rates with no cash.
What prevent them from doing that with regular card/bank account? Absolutely nothing.
So, again, there is obvious CBDC hype, but none of declared CBDC features are unique for CBDC only. CBDC is absolutely not necessary to implement everything they want, they could easily do using regular card/bank accounts. Even more - it is much easied to add simple small scripts to card/bank accounts to do all their shit, than to design, create and push completely new system from the ground.
So, what's the real point of CBDC? What CBDC really could give them, regular card/bank account can't?
Putin never was any kind of nationalist.
As for WWII propaganda, there is two separate kinds of it. One was regular wartime propaganda, kind of "Stand up against the enemy who come to take your land and kill you and your relatives". Pretty straightforward thing. Right after victory, it was "Russian people defeated strong enemy", "Who comes with the sword, will fall from the sword" and so on. As many veterans told - they fight against Germans, not against some political views and don't give a fuck about Jews. And there was a second wave of WWII propaganda that appeared mostly after Stalin's death and long after end of WWII that targeted specifically political side of rivals and all that stuff. All that holohoax bullshit, tales about "multiethnic soviet people defeated nazism/facsism and stopped killing the Jews" and so on.
Putin for some reasons choose second kind of propaganda, despite obvious revelance of the first kind. NATO is an agressor who want to kill Russians, and that is why Russia have to resist and defeat NATO, not because NATO is opressing Jews who should be protected at any cost.
I think never. He is a best Jewish friend.
There was one event that some accounted as a sort of important sign - banning Israeli Sokhnut repatriation organisation (obvious center of Israeli influence), but the case is still not closed, and I think that the threat of possible ban is used as a lever against Israel, nothing more.
From the other side, banning all Soros/CIA/MI6/USAID/whatever-connected NGOs could be accounted as kind of oppression of Jews, because all that NGOs and their sources of money have overhelming amount of Jews in and around. So closing that feeders of Jews could be seen by them as antisemitism.
Some try to pose war against Jewish Ukraine authorities as a sign of something, but that hopium is very weak too.
Ufortunately, Putin never did and will never do anything really antisemitic. Being NWO puppet he just don't want to do it.
All effect is completely and immidiately ruined by the wrongly build phrase with wrong words selection. It looks exactly like "russian" writings in Western blockbusters in the scenes where some "russian" tech shown that are a separate source of lulz here in Russia like that:
https://i1.wp.com/s0.rbk.ru/v6_top_pics/resized/1440xH/media/img/2/14/755442046110142.jpg
https://i1.wp.com/s0.rbk.ru/v6_top_pics/resized/1440xH/media/img/6/36/755442046111366.jpg
And so on. Endless source of lulz.
Also, they forgot to draw Crimea and new regions on "map of Russia". It is also a huge fuckup. :)
Is it so hard to make even such a simple propaganda joke thing properly? Even if it is targeted to Western audience, that does not mean it should be done in such incompetent and ignorant way. Why do they think that Western audience deserve such disrespect? I'm very disappointed. :)
Math is not a science, it is a language for science. And as in any language you could easily tell any bullshit in it without any connection to reality. Simple as that.
But somehow modern science instead of telling the truth of reality in math language began to excercise building any possible phrases with it. So, we have what we have. Linguists compete in creating different language constructs, perfectly valid from the grammar view, but absolutely senseless. Like "Prudler is fumering shafny blumpees!" - perfectly valid, but completely senseless and describe nothing real.
Complex numbers, consisting from imaginary and real path really are perfectly handy for calculating f.e. AC curcuits and some other things. I think your theacher was not bothered with explaining practical application of that thing, and that's all. It is very simple concept when it comes with example of real word application and represented in cartesian, polar and Euler forms.
Article stated that Nigerians riot against cash shortage.
I think they don't care about CBDC or whatever reason was behind government decision to create cash shortages, they care about inability to get cash.
CBDC overhyped, and I really still don't see how it really differ socially from existing credit/debit cards system, because absolutely everything that announced by both pro-CBDC and anti-CBDC as properties and abilities of CBDC is perfectly implementable in a second over regular credit/debit cards system without any need for any CBDC or whatever.
I think there is something else behind all that CBDC hype, really. May be kind of discreditation of the whole crypto idea among sheeple to prevent development and popularisation of independent money systems, f.e.
It is named chutzpa. Blatant lie said with absolute confidence and insolence so everybody listening will feel uncomfortable to dispute it. Specific Jewish ability, say, Jewish superpower, they use it unconsciously.
the best thing you can do now is to cancel your bank accounts before the bail-ins start
The best thing you can do now is to spend all your money on something really worthy - tools, education, training, land, whatever. Because if you try to withdraw cash you could possibly be denied or limited to do so. And who knows what will happen with cash - those who really own it could just declare it no longer valid in favour of some digital "equivalent" crap. Also, don't forget about civil forfeiture. And don't think that it will not span over precious metals or whatever. World knows multiple cases of forced precious metal confiscations and bans. Knowledge and skills, f.e. can't be banned or confiscated in principle and they will always allow you to have food, roof and whatever you could need, regardless of mess around.
They are able to do that only because that void state money is forced to be accepted as a payment by the government.
They will not be able to do that with sound money or whatever thing that could be used as mean of exchange if that thing should be mined/produced/whatever.
But it is senseless while there will be countries with cash. It will be relatively easy to just use the other country cash if your own country will get rid of it. There will appear a lot of gray/black exchanges where you "buy" something with CBDC in another country and immidiately get foreign cash from moneychanger. Then use that cash as you like. Another person who get that foreign cash could do the opposite - "do some service for a foreigner" along with giving cash to moneychanger and get CBDC.
