hmm anyone able to evaluate this? https://t.co/Hipoxaw8kN
@eigenrobot That appears to be just an elaborate way to describe what military operations already do to stay semi-autonomous. https://t.co/ZT95AL1Xdb
@eigenrobot Interesting to think that its just a form of state backed paper script.Imagine having a pog with a cryptographic ID embedded in it. Probably that.https://t.co/3FlU4konub
@eigenrobot Presumably that is the same thing talked about here https://t.co/M9coEo0Pbp which is a "digital currency" (but not a 'cr*pt*').
@eigenrobot china has one https://t.co/imG1K5qoFS too and the US is probably not far behind. https://t.co/IuuhiDVISpIIRC china's option included a paper form, so presumably we'll see similar here.
@eigenrobot I think this is being framed in military language because of the current strife, but its not new at all by any means. The idea of a centrally controlled national digital scrip that can be remotely de-authed has been a long time in the works.
@eigenrobot "Russia has argued for years against cryptocurrencies, saying they could be used in money laundering or to finance terrorism."https://t.co/Kf6SWyqGMvIt's all about framing.
@eigenrobot It's happening everywhere.https://t.co/raNY3sn0KA

@eigenrobot Gonna be fun watching this play out. https://t.co/VlKFOHKASUThe stage is being set.https://t.co/Sx6ABVcS5e https://t.co/NMyDFHNGeN
"In the long term, the card infrastructure should be converted into a permanent, Treasury-administered digital public currency wallet system, to serve as a privacy-respecting ‘eCash’ complement to universal Fed Accounts and/or Postal Bank Accounts for All"https://t.co/tPQSuEyneo
@eigenrobot I don't have any way to prove who I am anymore.https://t.co/JwwcQqxlmv
@eigenrobot I smell blood.https://t.co/Yq0n969w57
@eigenrobot Watching.https://t.co/SXfdDjwiZg
@eigenrobot I was 14.https://t.co/b8YfFLfr5x
@eigenrobot Have you now or ever been associated with a terrorist? https://t.co/WgSjScIkwC

@eigenrobot I just spent like 3 months of my life trying to get a bank account going b/c of asinine regulations that are meant to stop terrorists, and am not looking forward to jumping thru the hoops to prove my legitimate grant to solve a long-covid problem is real.Boot to face, forever.
@eigenrobot Slow, then quick.https://t.co/bkdKBG1UVS
@eigenrobot Slow, then quick.> Biden Administration seeks China-style CBDCs, warns US Congressman [May 22, 2024] https://t.co/qXAVkIR3O7
It's just preventing the Feds from owning the CBDC. It's a power play.> "In a speech to the House of Representatives, Emmer expressed concern that the administration is “itching to trade Americans’ right to privacy for a CCP-style surveillance tool.”https://t.co/1hCcOXxLFg
@eigenrobot Have you now or ever been involved with terrorist money laundering (euphemism: crypto)?https://t.co/esU6D247Gk
Ever worry about your government forcing banking institutions to unilaterally limit access to the ability to eat because they don't like a whistle-blower / dissident. Can you imagine this happening to shut down a journalist who writes against the regime?https://t.co/Uz88Z8mc6D
@eigenrobot Maybe you have your genes leaked because a family member opened up their 23andMe profile, like me? https://t.co/JZ7A6EQ3hR
@eigenrobot Are you worried about your identity like me?https://t.co/RZViQg1u9B
