In addition to that using a normal bank also means putting your trust in the fractional reserve banking system. Not as worse as a CBDC but still horrible because you are dependant on your bank allowing you to withdraw or send the money in your account. Gladly Satoshi Nakamoto gave Bitcoin to the world 14 years ago which is uncensorable, verifiable and permissionless to use if you hold it in self custody on privacy protecting devices.

They'll look into implementing a CDBC, conclude it's too complex or something, and everyone forgets. Then, CDBC would actually begin as a re-implementation of the financial system's plumbing. It would be hard for people to oppose what they can't see. Overnight, your bank account becomes a CDBC account, and your government processes every transaction, but nothing changed for you. Statistics Canada had a project to collect 100% of transactions for a random sample of 500k individuals (unclear whether it's still active) Your bank is just a skin on top of the CDBC with customer service.

Then if you withdraw or deposit 10k you get flagged reported to IRS you can't be up to anything good...surely you don't just fucking hate distrust etc their created debt system.

Great content. However, in my experience as a banker and software developer of bank software for my entire career, the government does not have direct access to your banking data as sort of indicated. In a round about way they do get some information with the annual reporting such as 1099s, 5498, 1098 ,and such forms which both the government and the bank customer gets. For the FBI or other law enforcement to see the account holder information, a warrant is required. Up until the early 80s, the banks did report account balances over $100,000 to the FCIC but that was stopped. ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions could be monitored but I do not know of any case that happening. Banks are required to report large cash ($10,000) transactions and suspicious cash transactions. So, Yes, the government does get a lot of information but they do not have direct access to the banks data and see all of your transactions as some would like you to believe.

Naomi, I wasn't sure how to communicate with you. In the past, I have posted on your support Assange and the quality of your tech/privacy pieces. I am a retired senior manager/systems designer/software engineer. Now, system security is often implemented in rings or layers. Where each successive level depends on the one beneath it. So, your spreadsheet cannot be secure if your Operating System is compromised. Your operating system cannot be secure if your hardware is compromised. So, ultimately, the base rock of security is your motherboard or perhaps its firmware (either BIOS or now UEFI). And here is the part you will find is interesting. Gigabyte motherboards were just called out for injecting a hidden account into Windows to download their proprietary software. The hidden account has an easy to hack password, and the Web site it calls out to does not even use security certificates. Yes, the created account is not privileged, but if you can run an EXE on a PC, there are ways to get around UAC and ADMIN. I became aware of this as I am building my first high end gaming PC (soon to be 70; if not now, when?). ASUS has the same DEFAULT=ON injection on software downloading in their motherboards (mine: ASUS MAXIMUS Z790 HERO). To verify this story is real, Google "gigabyte backdoor motherboard". I thought with your focus on security and privacy, you would find it interesting that so many PCs are compromised despite the TPM chip, Windows Update, UAC, and security suites; because all of that runs on a shaky foundation. Sorry, I didn't know any other way to reach you, but post a comment.

Well that was quick.

in principle, when you deposit money in a bank you no longer own that money. You don't give the bank "custody" of the money. What you own is an IOU from the bank. Contrast that to the exact opposite that happens when you buy a house on credit. You actually own the house, and the bank owns an IOU, with a guarantee enforced by risk of foreclosure, for lending you the money. It isn't fair that when you deposit the money in the bank that the bank is not required to give you the same kind of guarantee enforced by foreclosure on the bank. Instead, governments decided to insure bank balances at the cost (one way or another) of taxpayers, thus reducing bank risks to deminimis levels and shifting the risk back to everyone, whether they decide to use that bank or not.

there are several misconceptions in this video. the Bitcoin 'ledger' (blockchain) *is* mutable. that is why there is a consensus mechanism that handles blockchain forks. and that's actually the weakness of Bitcoin, that if the rich rulers of the world wanted to cripple and kill Bitcoin, they could easily do it. (easy for them. hard for someone that is not rich.) And the 10-minute update on Bitcoin's blockchain is a misconception too. sometimes it is faster. sometimes it is slower. but it averages a bit faster than 10 minutes. Mike Maloney teaches why every use of the word 'money' is inaccurate here too. Bitcoin and USD are not money. they are currencies. But this is a VERY VERY good video! Thank you, Naomi!

I disagree that Bitcoin "fixed" the issue because Bitcoin _does_ have conflicts and conflict mediation. That mediation is just trusting the swarm. But that means trusting anyone who has an entire schedule but since most of us will centralize and not host the schedule ourselves it means we are subject to a potential bad oligarchy. To be fair that's slim chances and definitely better than a single actor in most cases.

So CBDC will lead to a dystopia instead of utopia? If so, there little/nothing to fear since virtually all dystopias are unsustainable &/or unscalable, right?

I kept saying it for years. The USA is turning into a dystopian country. Where the government wants to know exactly every single step you do. How many times you coughed? How many times you sneezed? Did you go to the bathroom? And when? And where? and why? and for how long? Did you spend money on tampons? did you buy a sex toy today? where did you shop? what did you buy? How much did it cost? When did you buy it? This is just an example of whats going to happen if people allow CBDC to happen. The only way for people to stop it, is to do several things (if this is forced onto people). Don't buy anything, nothing at all. The economy needs people to buy things. And when people are forced into a CBDC dictatorship currency and control over your privacy, you have to act by not buying anything at all. Government can not force anyone to buy anything. Also, don't use city services, like bridges, tunnels, subways, busses, parking spaces. Nothing. don't use them. Let the government know that they don't have control and that they need people to make this country work. So if CBDC is forced onto the population, just stop doing everything. Don't buy clothing's, jewelry. Only buy things to survive, which is just food and water. Don't even pay utilities with CBDC. black everything out, also unsubscribe from every subscription you have. Let this government know that everything will stop, if they force CBDC on people, let the government know they can't invade your personal life and privacy. Let them know they violated your 4th amendment, by cutting them off at their knees. Remember the government need us, and when they do this type of dystopian crap on people, we will cease to use any services or buy anything.

But Naomi, CBDC does not have a government behind it. It is an entirely different institution. I do not want to get too technical but money belong to the Central Bank (not government affiliated, at least on paper) and then lent to the Government, which has to borrow it and then return it. And government has little to say about it. Therefore it is even worse case scenario, as this institution may or may not follow the local government What do you people think?

It's so bad.

Well, if putting the government in the center is bad, then why putting the banksters in the center is good? In what way are banksters better than the government?

If money transcation become more privacy focused means criminal will use that like terrorist,hackers,drug dealer and Mafia no they finical track record become total invisible

Those on government social welfare are screwed I guess... 😔 like, spend any of your CBDC on non-essentials (anything besides bread, water, rent, utilities), and watch your payments get cut off... The only solution is a worldwide synchronised toppling of every single government and major corporation... given that is impossible, better hope for a CME to send us back to the stone age! 😅

Truly terrifying to think this but frankly doesn't surprise me given the nature of those with power. Aka wanting more power / Control, why can't people evolve and think of the world and everything around them with awe and respect, rather than hate and fear. Not to mention the elephant in the room but current cryptocurrencies aren't exactly a good option either, I am referring to the environmental damage there creating from the massive server farms that are built specifically to mine these currencies; and the amount of energy required to run and e-waste generated because a lot of these now require very specialised hardware that can't be used for anything else

When we're hit by a solar storm, and that's guaranteed to happen, and the internet goes down, and your country becomes an easier target for any foreign invasion, what do you think happens with people?

The core idea is to create a one world currency, where one central bank will control every bank account and every transaction worldwide.

Well, the concept of the open ledger of bitcoin is in theory a good one, we have to acknowledge a few flaws that have yet to be resolved. First of all, the longer the coins are used, the more involved the calculations that are needed with com. It’s my understanding that that’s why it gets harder and harder to mind additional coins, there are more and more calculations that need to be done to “reveal“ The coins. But even once all of them have been mined, the ledgers get longer and longer, because they maintain all transactions. Additionally, even with improvements in the underlying system, they are still the matter of how much power it takes to maintain the system. At minimum, unless bitcoin moves to another platform of Blockchain, Bitcoin can’t be the final answer to an open ledger system. What’s more, because it’s an open ledger, that should in theory mean that all transactions are public to everyone. Including the government. I have heard stories, maybe even on this channel, where the Farias folks have been tracked down and traced by their bitcoin transactions. So it doesn’t sound to me like, at least, from a government perspective, It’s the paragon of privacy. But the biggest thing that concerns me from a philosophical perspective is that we don’t actually know who created the original Blockchain system. I presume because of its nature people are able to look at all the code. But I’m not 100% convinced that everyone knows exactly how all of Blockchain works. That is to say, are we 100% certain there’s no back door? Are we 100% certain there’s no time released system that would make all the valley go away? I would much prefer it if people who we know are the ones who create the system.

Maybe the biggest hurtle for using bitcoin is the large fluctuations in price. I don't know if my $10 I release is actually $100 tomorrow or $5 tomorrow. With existing monetary funds the country acts differently in an inflationary or deflationary period. It seems like bitcoin is always jumping from one form to the next. Then use stable coin. They have their issues and as shown it is bitcoin that has wider acceptance at retail establishments. How can we transition to such an unstable currency?

Thankfully the Federal Reserve will be abolished in 2025!
