When the European Union Parliament, last month, February 2024, agreed to enact the Digital ID in the EU, they noted that now the Central Bank Digital Currency could follow seeing as all citizens would be granted their “digital wallets”. Digital ID and CBDC are inextricably linked.
In other words, those advocating the rollout of a CBDC are either naïve or lacking in understanding to think that this can be done without establishing a centralized surveillance system for all financial transacting. Even if such surveillance is not included in the [initial] design, it would be simple to add it at a later stage. Once such a window to surveillance and total government over reach and intrusion is opened, it is virtually impossible to close.
While promoting the unveiling of CBDC, other forms of currency will be made obsolete, commercial banks will largely eventually LOSE their function, and the CBDC system will be a closed system, serving the interests it considered desirable.
