Show Notes

"Neither is a Central Bank Digital Currency a State-level embrace of cryptocurrency—at least not of cryptocurrency as pretty much everyone in the world who uses it currently understands it. Instead, a CBDC is something closer to being a perversion of cryptocurrency, or at least of the founding principles and protocols of cryptocurrency—a cryptofascist currency, an evil twin entered into the ledgers on Opposite Day, expressly designed to deny its users the basic ownership of their money and to install the State at the mediating center of every transaction." - Edward Snowden Today we take a journey with Edward Snowden diving into the nature and problems of Central Bank Digital Currencies, or CBDCs. More honestly known as centralized surveillance coins. Start playing today's read, and then buy a little Bitcoin to help navigate us around the dystopian nightmare which is a future with CBDCs.
