Is the time for Revolution upon us

Resisting the impending transformation of our monetary system is a cause worthy of a historical revolution.

I do not utter these words lightly. There's no turning back once we embark on the journey toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). We will find ourselves inextricably bound to the state, our freedoms tethered to their whims.

No, this won't occur overnight. It will begin innocuously enough. In their naivety, many will embrace it, scoffing at the warnings of those who see the larger picture. In doing so, they will not only be forging their own chains but also condemning future generations to a dystopian world of their making.


Privacy Concerns
With CBDCs, every transaction you make can be monitored. The veil of financial privacy we currently enjoy, albeit thinning, will be lifted entirely. This level of oversight could be used to control or manipulate economic behavior, a serious concern for civil liberties.

Exclusion Risks
With a state-controlled digital currency, the government could potentially exert unprecedented control over our finances. Imagine a world where your money could be turned off like a switch if you fall foul of certain rules or fail to meet specific social criteria. This isn't just about access to technology; it's about the potential for a 'social credit' system where your financial freedom is at the mercy of the state. This level of control could lead to a society where compliance is not a choice but a necessity for survival.


To those who declare, "I'll stick to cash; I won't use CBDCs," consider this: Do you genuinely believe you'll be able to travel freely, make substantial purchases, and live your life as you do now? As the state's control tightens, your ability to navigate life on your own terms will become increasingly challenging. The state's grip will constrict, and survival will become a game played by their rules.

Grassroots Revolt Against GOP Elitism

By Matthew Hayward In the complex arena of political strategy, even those who occupy the highest echelons of power can falter, demonstrating a profound disconnect between their strategic intentions and operational execution. The recent failure to secure the endorsement for their preferred candidate, Dave Reichert, is not merely a setback; it is a revealing exposé of the grave strategic missteps at the heart of the Republican party's establishment in Washington State. These seasoned campaigners, these stewards of conservative strategy, have evidently underestimated the critical importance of grassroots engagement. While I acknowledge the logic behind promoting an established politician strategically positioned geographically and perceived as moderate in our swing state—a strategy driven by considerations of electability, which admittedly has its merits—the incessant focus on this argument and complete lack of any meaningful engagement and education has alienated the grassroots yet a...

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price  Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

When the Census Goes Beyond the Constitution

 By Matthew Hayward The Census: From Counting People to Collecting Control The Constitution established the census as a straightforward tool for representation—nothing more, nothing less. Article I, Section 2 mandates an enumeration every ten years to determine how many representatives each state is allotted. That’s it. Simple. Effective. Proportional representation was the goal, and the census was designed to achieve it. So how did we end up here—with government agents asking about the number of bathrooms in our homes, our ethnic identities, and everything in between? This is the creeping hand of central planning at work. What began as a tool to empower individual representation has been twisted into a mechanism to empower bureaucrats, planners, and those who believe they know better than free individuals how to run their own lives. Central Planning: The False Promise of Data The justification for prying into the most intimate details of our lives is always the same: “We need the ...
