Europe is such a contradiction. On the one hand they spearheaded GDPR and seemed to really care about digital privacy setting a model for the rest of the world. Now it seems they are spearheading the digital euro and stupid anti-encryption laws. Can't figure it out.
👏👏👏
What a great piece of writing. @sethforprivacy
I agree surveillance states are all the rage these days. CBDCs are like moths to flame for them.
Thanks so much, @Car!
CBDCs are something I've wanted to write about for quite some time, was thrilled with how it turned out with @gladstein's help.
💯Great you got this out there, this is the type of high quality writing I love.

EU is a good marketing company, marketing itself for one thing but deep down is something else.
I doubt GDPR is a marketing exercise
CBDCs and any other toycoin, only exist to prevent people from using Bitcoin. In order for the large corporations to maintain the monetary bondage.
Your site Buries Nostr and promotes Monero...
Blocked.
What? Nostr is alongside all other socials (X) on the bottom where it should be.
It doesn't "promote" Monero, it properly recognizes that Monero is freedom tech and helps people find ways to support it if they so choose.
