If the central bank is prevented from introducing a central bank digital currency (as proposed by Tom Emmer and Ted Cruz, etc), there is nothing stopping the major banks themselves from introducing similar systems. The consequences for citizens would be roughly the same. An administration could in the future outsource financial censorship to the private banking system, similar to how the Biden administration is accused of circumventing the First Amendment by enlisting private companies to implement censorship (this case has now reached the Supreme Court). If you care about freedom, what should be done is enshrining the freedom to transact into the US Consitution (or similar). — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/flash-news/nevent1qqsryjk4ggkxja9pyg0krejlf3ewyarkd6wzlr9dzx22w90jywysdwgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9ejx7unpveskxar0wfujummjvuq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7q3ql4uvxlcncw5at08gphpj0r2jnw5s3eg3n6g0jyceqhz6tg8vpqes6tpmwl
