Bye bye Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and many others. They can go and play “America First”. We’ll have our own independent system by november 2025.

      OK. I’m out of this conversation. Nothing can be a positive outcome of this conversation. So I admit: The European Union is working on the behalf of China, with a hidden authoritarian agenda who wants to make all EU citizens helpless peasants. All actions the EU are taking are not real. They just want to screw us up. I’m moving to the US. Maybe I’ll be better off. (note: sarcasm)

        Someone who phrases a question like that doesn’t want discussion, nothing good can come of engaging indeed

          It seems bizarre to me you think that. Europe clearly has fascitis in the same way most of the world does – trump may even help pull you back from that by being such a flaming turd. But it’s not irrational to wonder about what level of control a new financial system might be able to exert.

          I don’t see anything in the first post indicating they think come November you’ll have social currency systems, just a healthy level of skepticism about the new thing.

        Clearly they weren’t asking that question in good faith, but you countered by cranking the bad faith up to eleven.

        I also have concerns with central banks; however, I still appreciate you making this newsworthy OP. Don’t stress if everyone doesn’t share the same opinions. This would be a boring place if everyone was just reiterating why they agree with each other. ✌️

      Right now the corporations OP listed can already do that. If you don’t want anybody else to be in charge of your money, then go use crypto.
