Many people are willing to sacrifice privacy for “convenience” and are too myopic to understand what a world without cash would look like in the long run. It’s truly game over for any level of privacy and freedom in society. Everything will be tracked and I have no faith that any due process will exist when government wants to pull levers on citizens who will be like puppets.

Well there ARE a few things going on

1) Sen. Cruz introduced a bill about DBCS

2) Rep Emmer introduced one too

3) DeSantis has a proposal to "just say no"

At least, it seems SOME are willing to step up just wish there were more.

I would contend that the idea to depreciate the value of cash vs. digital currency would backfire as cash would be in huge demand and trade at a premium
