Thanks Ray for the reminder for me to use cash today. 🤣 Glad I have some local farmers around me at least.

Question: what countries do you know of that aren't using CBDC? Uraguay?

A few months ago I ran into the actual patent documents for what claims to be the most sophisticated "contact tracing" app ever developed. It was filed in the US by two scientists from Israel. It has the ability to synchronize everything digital your talking about here. Contact tracing, social credit, digital currency, etc. It sounds like its capabilities are almost limitless. The contact tracing is incredibly advanced. It automatically turns all smart devices into interlocking networks that can say within a foot or two who you were near and for how long. Obviously it would probably also be used to monitor all conversations you had with those people as well. It "monitors your health" (doesn't that sound nice?!!) and can "prescribe a treatment or vaccine". It really has to be read to be believed. It took me an hour just to barely skim over the very long patent documents with all the usual peculiar legalese.
