134 countries (98% of global GDP) are developing CBDCs that would give central banks unprecedented visibility into every financial transaction. China's digital yuan already feeds data into its social credit system -- by 2019, over 26 million air ticket purchases were blocked for 'untrustworthy' citizens. CBDCs could impose restrictions on purchases, set expiration dates on currency, apply personalized inflation rates, or freeze accounts instantly. Multiple U.S. senators have introduced legislation to ban a CBDC in America.

“Central Bank Digital Currencies are not about modernizing payments -- they are a surveillance and control tool that would give governments the ability to program what you can buy, set expiration dates on your money, and freeze your accounts without due process.”
