I’m hoping that a few others are willing to share their thought on these subjects.
1 CBDC: take it or leave it?
2 Buy now or hold?
We absolutely don’t want the CBDC, and I will resist it “as long as it takes”
But, if it falls upon us…then what?
Take it or starve.
I’m going through the mental gymnastics in considering what would be the right thing to do, in that situation, at that time, as a phycological preparation. It was easy for me at the “covid thing” to draw a line and hold. Thank God it didn’t cause the personal damage it could have.
“If” we wake up one morning and our money is gone, but I have a card that allows me to eat, what would I do? Amongst the shrills of “the mark of the beast!” OMG! Hell, and damnation! My daughter calls and ask... Dad: what do I do?
Maybe refusing, and going under the bus at that time, could be a justifiable martyrdom. But…
I’m no newbie to being dirty and retched. Out of the briar patch, across the mud pits, and through the valley of fire to find the path that is strait. E.g., paying taxes in the US makes me a supporter of unspeakable misery and suffering that is perpetrated on humanity. But the situation dictates that I can’t live without paying my taxes. Why didn’t I refuse and go live in the jungle, or prison? I wear a mask as a show obedience to the borg (when forced to). Long story short, I am living in the belly of the beast, and it is feeding off of me already. Id like to think that I have no options, that my free-will has be taken, thus my soul is OK with this, but I’m not so sure about that. My money is already electronic, and I, to some extent, am already incarcerated on this farm. So, I’m not so sure martyrdom is called for just yet.
I’m saving final judgment on this subject for the particular situation “if” it arises, but for now I think I would take it and carry on, putting it in the classification of taxes, and my free-will has been taken. And if the restrictions that may come with the CBDC’s causes yet another fork in the road in the future, I will have to decide, situation by situation, what to do. Maybe taking the new currency would be a no-brainer, but the restrictions would become the actual battlefield.
I don’t mean to be too “hope-y” but “if” we get that far into the PTB plan, I’m confident that the plan would be falling apart, and the natural disasters would be taking over the situation, so if this situation does present itself, I think it will be short lived. Maybe just a hurdle to jump.
Buy now or hold:
If the de-dollarization happens suddenly, seemingly over-night, it sure would be nice to know when to dump fluid assets for useful things. And I think we're at a point where you couldn’t blame anyone for pulling the switch today. But having no fluid assets now would almost be suicide. I'd love to ask the C’s when to pull the plug, but fat-chase on that. They would probably just repeat, how about having needful things? Any way it’s been on my mind, but I really don’t have anything useful to add. If anyone has some thoughts on the subject, feel free to chime in.
