Digital currencies are coming fast—and they’re not what you think.

In October 2025, the European Central Bank will launch the digital euro. But this episode isn’t just about Europe. It’s about the global shift toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)—and the quiet, dangerous power they bring.

What if your money could be tracked, restricted, or even expired?
What if the state - not you - decided how and where you’re allowed to spend?

In this episode of "The Stoic Pirate", we break down:

- How digital currencies open the door to total financial surveillance
- Why programmable money gives governments the power to control behavior
- How negative interest rates and expiration dates destroy saving and ownership
- Why the digital euro (and other CBDCs) mark a political power shift—from citizen to state

This episode is not about fear.
It’s about freedom.

Because once these systems are in place—your choices will shrink.
This is your wake-up call to stay informed, think critically, and resist the illusion of convenience.
