Welcome to another episode of Proof of Words, where we delve deep into the world of CBDCs and their potential hidden threat to our financial freedom. In this engaging and eye-opening conversation, our host Patrick Lowry discusses the dystopian future portrayed in Joe Martin's book, "2024," inspired by George Orwell's "1984." They explore the real-world implications of CBDCs, the surveillance state, and the need for alternative payment systems.
As the discussion unfolds, Patrick and Joe reveal how CBDCs may be weaponized by governments and used as a tool for tyranny, with frightening examples from both the left and the right of the political spectrum. They also discuss the importance of grassroots awareness and opposition to CBDCs, as well as the potential for a more decentralized and private financial future.
