22 sats \ 6 replies \ @justanumber 14 Jan \ on: Swedish government discusses cash retention news
weird. I was in a room full of Swedes recently and they said cash is already almost non-existent in Sweden. They said it's all card and people look at you like you're doing something illegal if you get cash out to pay.
i wonder if it's all just words to placate people. The UK gov have been making similar noises, whilst the banks have been incentivizing consumers and business to go cashless with rewards and prizes.
I think there will be a big movement coming the moment Fiatlandia gets into real trouble, with
debanking like in Canada and bail-ins. Watch what's happening in Germany now. We are at the very beginning of resistance and privacy sovereignty will be important themes.

Yeah, the subject came up bc someone wanted to know how you can buy things without the banks and gov knowing what you're buying. We talked about btc and privacy coins like monero but I think a lot of people want things to be already set up for them and when they can't just go to the normal places and pay like they normally do... They don't realize "we" are the resistance and nothing will happen until we start taking action. I feel like a lot of people will eventually be tipped over the edge by different things. I was talking to a Danish friend, a while back, dropping gentle hints about what's going on but she was not really interested. Now she's woken up to the financial privacy issue bc she likes to pay with cash for that reason. When I told her about cbdcs it was THEN she said "send some some info!". So I sent her a couple of videos.

This is another instance of what I was talking about in response to this SN story -- I wonder if privacy / CBDC will be an increasing vector for orange-pilling going forward?
