Just because you live under an OK government at the moment doesn't mean that in 10 years time it's not like a Chinese government, and then you might have something to worry about, even if it was something you posted 10 years ago on TVF.

You simply do not have actual money or personal wealth with a (centralized) digital currency. It's just digits on a computer screen that can be erased, debited (based on perceived social infractions), or credited at the will of the bank or Govt.

Be a good citizen, or else.

"We've got some good news, and some bad news.."

Programmable digital currency is the end of financial freedom as we know it. It is being sold as 'convenient' and 'modern' but it is a total control method.

China is already using a social credit system where people get docked "money" or freedom to travel just for perceived infractions:

Quote

Starting in 2009, the Chinese government began testing a national reputation system based on a citizen’s economic and social reputation, or “social credit.” This social credit score can be used to reward or punish certain behaviors. The idea is that the state can give or takeaway points from a social credit score in order to engineer good behavior from the people. 

By late 2019, Chinese citizens were losing points on their score for dishonest and fraudulent financial behavior, playing loud music, eating on public transportation, jaywalking, running red lights, failing to appear at doctor appointments, missing job interviews or hotel reservations without canceling, and incorrectly sorting waste. To raise one’s social credit score a Chinese citizen can donate blood, donate to an approved charity, volunteer for community service, and other activities approved by the government. The Chinese government has begun to deny millions of people the ability to purchase plane and high-speed rail tickets due to low social credit scores and being labeled “untrustworthy.”

You don't have money with a digital system. You have 'food tokens' that can be taken away at the push of a button. Your spending on eg; meat, air fares, travel etc can also be calculated and controlled using a 'carbon credit' system, that is already heavily-invested in by the usual billionaire elites. (Mastercard has started doing this already).

Keep cash alive for as long as possible.

Immune system still working great, thanks.

We hear this same snot adnauseum, when will this hub nonsense ever end.

 

Thailand is the hub of road carnage and death and that's it, I would love if all of their vehicles became electric

At least you can hear drunken Somchai coming round the bend in a diesel pickup... In an EV you won't.

Hub of hubris.

Thailand no doubt a signatory nation to the WHO's global "Pandemic Response Treaty".

Meaning they can overrule sovereign nations in imposing lockdowns, digital ID's, etc., in response to any new "pandemic" they deem serious enough to do this:

Quote

Through these amendments, the WHO, with the support of the U.S., appears to be responding to roadblocks that China erected in the early days of covid. This is a legitimate concern. But the net effect of the proposed amendments is a shift of power away from sovereign states, ours included, to unelected bureaucrats at the WHO. The thrust of every one of the changes is toward increased powers and centralized powers delegated to the WHO and away from member states.

Leslyn Lewis, a member of the Canadian parliament and lawyer with international experience, has warned that the treaty would also allow the WHO unilaterally to determine what constitutes a pandemic and declare when a pandemic is occurring. “We would end up with a one-size-fits-all approach for the entire world,” she cautioned. Under the proposed WHO plan, pandemics need not be limited to infectious diseases and could include, for example, a declared obesity crisis.
