The "dismal science," aka traditional economics, is a house of cards floating in some empty part of the skulls of all too many people. The "Federal Reserve Board" is neither federal nor reserve. It's a cabal of sneaky bastards controlling $$$ that even otherwise brilliant people think is real. Gold Bars on the Global Titanic aren't likely to be very helpful, neither are zeroes and ones in your computer "bank account."

But this will look like the Good Old Days when Centralized Banking Digital Currency, CBDC, rolls all the way out. Reason? It's rock solid foundation is raw unadultrated fascism, as per the greatest scumbags of the world.

Albert Einstein: Compound interest is the Eighth Wonder of the World. Me: CBDC is the Ninth Wonder of the World, that will make life not worth living.

Exactly! The not-so-federal Federal Reserve System was named so to give people the impression that the federal government was behind it, that the currency it issued was backed by a gold reserve, and finally a system is supposedly NOT a bank.

Elon Musk is doing everything he can to position himself better than Bill Gates with his patent 060606. Trans humanism, graphene (think MRNA) and 5G are also a part of this. I imagine when the chip is rolled out, the powers that shouldn't be can sit at a terminal and decide which computers will be rebooted, and which ones will simply be turned off.

Like you said: That will make life not worth living.
