The Land of the Free Has a Financial Surveillance Problem - Nick Anthony
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTGHga9cvC8
Nick Anthony is back, and this one goes deep. He’s one of the few people actually tracking CBDCs, legislation, and financial surveillance in real time, and translating it into something we can understand. What’s becoming clear is that this isn’t just about new technology… it’s about control, incentives, and how far governments are willing to go to enforce both.
We discussed:
- Why the EU admits a digital euro needs coercion to work
- CBDCs aren’t money evolution — they’re control infrastructure
- Stablecoins being pulled into surveillance frameworks
- The US contradiction: anti-CBDC, pro-surveillance
- Samourai Wallet & criminalizing privacy tools
- Why Bitcoin adoption can’t be forced
