"...demanding everyone use FedNowCash..."
BTC, you mean. A public ledger of all transactions that can be centrally controlled because it all depends on the physical network it is transmitted over, that censoring this or that specific datum on is trivial, and transactions are only validated by the banksters that have bought all the miners.
BTC is going to the moon. The higher it goes the more fiat will inflate to make BTC the only viable currency - and it is a trap. When your fortune has just been inflated into $M's, even $B's, will you just walk away when to enjoy your fortune you must submit to biometric ID, to being tracked and traced, surveilled and probed to leave your 15 minute prison? When your BTC fortune is the only way to purchase some bugburgers and stave off starvation, will you be in a position to refuse to eat ze bugs because you have invested in food producing infrastructure instead of the massively bubbling BTC opportunity that has driven you wild with greed?
Dollars are what HBD mirror. When the value of dollars is inflated away, and like Deutschmarks in Weimar Germany, become 1/billionth as valuable, HBD will not be able to be devalued fast enough to keep up with hyperinflation - but this will not make them more profitable. It will make them useless. When BTC is $1B, or $1m, or whenever they decide it's enough, that is when the trap will be sprung. There's no playing the market when the market is the trap. As long as crypto must depend on proprietary infrastructure, the black box that is the privately owned internet, that validate every transaction, the private parties that own that network can decide which datum to transmit and which transactions to validate. It does not require a law, a government policy we will consider and vote on. They can just impose a CO2 ledger on transactions because they are the miners that validate transactions. Their hashpower, their transactions.
Invest in real wealth, not financialization. Invest in what your hands can make, not dependence on the benevolence of the banksters. They are not benevolent, and every fattening of your 'profits' is just making the bait juicier.
"...people in The US would just find a work around."
Ok, propose one. How will you transact with your fresh fabulous fortune in BTC when the miners that must mine the blocks validating that transaction are the Fed, the WEF, and Greterbae that will allow only approved CO2 reducing transactions? When the transactions aren't transmitted because that data isn't clear text, but encrypted? When the Commies' laws say you have eaten one too many burgers this year and can only spend your $B's on bugs, and you have to use your biometric ID to log in to the proprietary internet to send a payment to Bob's Burgers for your illicit meat, and Bob cannot accept the payment or Grok will grok the spend and butcher Bob for his CO2 crime? How can you work around depending on overlords for your wealth?
I tell you now: do not depend on overlords that pretend to benevolence now to bait the trap they will spring with malevolence then. Buy reticulum or BTC will not have ANY actual value because it cannot be communicated to transact with. Also, BTC is captured by IRL banksters, that own the mining process that validates all transactions. It is known. How can you validate BTC transactions without the miners? You can't. BTC cannot be anything else but a trap. The CBDC features do not have to be programmed into BTC because they can be programmed into the validation done by miners, and in transmission over their network. There is no workaround because those are built into BTC, and if you change them it's not BTC you're using anymore. BTC is governed, and it's governed by the miners. Back in 2017 they charged as much as 25% to post transactions in blocks. They can charge whatever they like to post transactions, and you can't transact unless they post it. You can't post it because you don't have the hashpower to outcompete them. They bought it, and they own it.
You can only use BTC at their pleasure. It's a trap that hasn't sprung yet. The jaws tremble with constrained power to snap, quivering with anticipation of the helplessness of the victims they will close down.
Escape. The inflation that inflames your greed will only become more powerful as they fatten the prize that is your BTC. Just walk away, and the horror will end.
Invest in actual wealth, in tools to produce goods and services available to you right now. At least to destroy that investment they will have to physically take it, unlike BTC that can become CBDC at the flick of a switch, the activation of an algorithm, asserted by AI at any time. BTC is a trap. Run away.
