Topic: Bitcoin vs CBDC - Print your own stickers - page 3. (Read 452 times)

but have YOU done the work of researching and learning about CBDC to then proclaim yourself an advocate for teaching others?

i say this becasue i bothered to read alot of the CBDC white papers and prototype code and plans.

and reading their plans vs what some people spout out.. . what people spout out sounds more tinfoil than factual

CBDC is simply the same as digital fiat today.
from a oversight/monitoring prospective
(politicians dont watch peoples transactions, nor do regulators. it gets delegated to the commercial payment services to police their customers and report the suspect users)
CBDC is the same concept

from a KYC
(value above X requires certain level of kyc)
CBDC is much the same

and yes that includes china's  e-yuan

ECB is indeed working "as fast as they can", which means they've spent years debating whether or not they'll do it, and as far as I know they're currently in the "investigation" phase which will take years again.

It's kinda funny, central banks are dinosaurs and know they have to do something, before they're too late and nobody wants them anymore. They also don't want to get rid of all their rich banker friends, so there's still a role for traditional bank accounts in their plans. And they want to add the ultimate control to their token.

But none of it matters. It's just another form of inflationary fiat money, controlled by unelected people. Same old, same old.

It's about spreading the word about CBDC. This is an awareness campaign to make people learn and be warned about CBDC so they know it's all about surveillance.  CBDC may really come and no one can stop it but people will learn that there is an option to use which is BTC, I think the sticker should be introducing BTC as well.

So far there are only 6 countries that have pilot CBDC. No country yet fully launched CBDC.

i do laugh some times

politician and big banker businesses go to meetings and organise lobbying efforts to push other politicians to write things into law

someone in bitcoin community tells people to "fight" ... by wearing a sticky

to truly want to keep paper/polymer notes in circulation. needs to be done via petitions where by people in a politicians constituency(region/states) receives enough signatures that enough of the people they represent do not want the removal of paper/polymer notes. sways the politician not to push for paper bank notes future removal
thus if enough politicians see that they wont push so hard(or risk no being voted in again next election day), then it can stop such activities going forward.

along with a lobbying effort by big players that also want to see paper/polymer notes stay in circulation to fund a campaign to keep paper/polymer nots in circulation.

however.. this push FOR CBDC is not citizen led its IMF and BIS pushed. along with those big businesses of WEF
(in short: big bankers/payment services)

bankers hate having to handle paper notes. they hate how visa/mastercard are taking nice fee's leaving to pay the costs of cash handling.. the bankers want to earn the fee's and not left with the costs of handling paper money

you are not going to win a fight over their motives.. with stickers

Thanks for this link, I added it to my original post.

Maybe this is true, but I certainly won't give up easy and follow all their crazy future scenarios, because they need 100% of people to participate for this crap to work.
Their plan won't work even if 10% of people reject this change and make up their own economy outside the narrative of WEF and their operators, maybe with Bitcoin, produce, salt, food, and everything else people used to trade before.
I never had negative frame of mind despite all the dark scenarios and prognosis, but people are wrong if think they will be able to use Bitcoin normally after this creeps introduce CBDC to all countries.

Maybe this approach can work in civilized countries, but not on the generalized corrupt ones, that is the case where I live and as I see, CBDC is already in Proof of Concept stage here. Politicians rely on the ignorance of the citizens to pass laws they want which will favour them and their groups on long run, without any kind of uprisings from the people. The conscious minority who protests is just going to be ignored by politicians, since they don't really their votes to be elected. If the three powers (executive, legislative and judiciary) want to approve CBDC, they are going to do this here without any setbacks.

I hope in your countries you have more luck fighting it back.

Haha trust me printing stickers and resisting is not going to be effective at all. This way is exactly similar to governments shouting against Cryptos telling that they are a scam they are risky they are fraudulent. CBDC is just their answer to tackle Cryptos and trust me it will never affect Crypto market in any way. Only thing it will effect is fiat. People are into crypto either for it's value appreciation or for it's decentralised and confidential mechanism and none of them can be provided by a CBDC. So chill out CBDC cannot harm Cryptos.

Do you really think this would be effective? The desire of governments to control our lives is obvious in many countries and anyone who is yet to come to that realization would not do so cause of some sticker.

We cannot boo away CBDCs or sign petitions against it, we can only avoid it and stick to decentralized medium of exchange on the blockchain. And hope others would follow suit.

CBDCs no matter what technology governments want to and actually use, they will try to convince their citizens that they are applying blockchain for their CBDCs. It can be true or a lie and citizens will know about that. The interesting point is even if governments lie, they still promote blockchain technology.

CBDCs will contribute to blockchain adoption in generally by exposing more people to that technology.

Governments and countries around the world are working hard to implement CBDC as fast as they can and they are getting serious about it.
I won't name all individual examples but I will post one website who is keeping track of all worldwide news and status for most countries.
There is currently WEF forum in Davos and they are advertising CBDC currencies that are going to be protected by Interpol, and in same time they announce catastrophic cyber attack, removal of cash payments, and concern about Bitcoin

One website for tracking CBDC projects is called Cbdctracker and it is showing world map of countries with more information:

What can you do about this?
You can write your local politicians, complain, call them, visit them and demand from them to stop working on CBDC crap.
I also found interesting project called @NoCBDC that created cool stickers that are pro Bitcoin and anti-CBDC in the same time.
You can print out this stickers, share them in your local areas, send them to friends and spread the word while we have time, or you will wake up in nightmare scenario one day.
