A lot of people somehow think that the move to Digital Currency is a completely new monetary system, It is targeted to eliminate cash transactions so everything is taxable and nothing can be hidden from our overlords. If we look at commerce in the United States during 2022, 82% of all transactions were digital – Debit cards (20 percent), credit cards (30 percent), and digital wallets 32 percent. That was e-commerce.
from 21st Century Wire:

Every time a geopolitical flashpoint emerges, or some emotive ‘terrorism’ event plays out, the western Establishment will not let such a crisis go to waste. Specifically, they will use any opportunity or incident to blame Bitcoin, claiming that the cryptocurrency is somehow responsible for financing acts of terrorism.
That said, due to Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, as well as the relative anonymity built into cryptocurrencies, such transactions cannot really be regulated. In reality, if Bitcoin wasn’t used, some other method or foreign currency would be employed to procure what Washington deems to be ‘illicit’ goods and services.

Some folks in the libertarian crowd are seeing the GENIUS Act as a win—a sign that the government finally gets crypto, fostering innovation under a federal framework. In theory, that would be amazing… if it were true. But when you look closer at what this legislation does and how it treats stablecoins, you find a Trojan horse: a path toward programmable money, surveillance, and control—all under the guise of legitimacy. So, in an attempt to remove the wool from the eyes of those who still don’t see it, here are ten reasons government-compliant stablecoins are practically indistinguishable from CBDCs.
