As central banks all over the world race to launch their Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to please the global elites such as the World Economic Forum, we as citizens have no other recourse but to learn and understand what these new technologies will entail to our life, liberty, and property.
To explain what are CBDCs, a good way of going about it is to compare them with Ethereum Classic (ETC).
ETC is the most secure and advanced blockchain technology in the world and CBDCs seek to imitate the EVM design that it uses, but to add to them their central control and planning devices.
Bitcoin was not a useful model to follow by them as it was so basic that it didn’t enable any kind of central planning scheme.
