TRYING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. WE'RE ONLY GONNA TALK ABOUT THE FACTS. IT'S A FACT THAT ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST, THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK LAUNCHED PONTECS, AS THEIR PRESIDENT DESCRIBED THE DIGITAL EURO FOR BANKS TO SETTLE THEIR TOKENIZED ASSETS. IT IS A FACT THAT IN THAT THE ECB SAID THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DIGITAL EURO FOR CITIZENS, AİMING FOR A 2027 LAUNCH. THE EARLIER THE BETTER. IT IS A FACT THAT CBDCS CAN BE PROGRAMMABLE. IT IS SPECULATION THAT CENTRAL BANKS WOULD USE THIS PROGRAMMABLE TECHNOLOGY TO DETERMINE WHEN WHAT YOU SPEND, IF YOUR MONEY EXPIRES. IT IS A FACT THAT THE US HAS BANNED THE FEDERAL RESERVE FROM ISSUING OR CREATING A CBDC UNTIL 2030. BUT IT IS ALSO A FACT THAT WHILE THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE FROM D.C.

IT IS ALSO SPECULATION THAT IN THE NEXT FINANCIAL CRISIS, THESE TOOLS CAN MAKE CLOSING THE EXITS FASTER AND EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE. IT IS DEFINITELY SPECULATION THAT ADDING ALL OF THESE ASSETS, PAYMENTS, FINANCES ONTO ONE TOKENISED INFRASTRUCTURE THE CREATION OF A SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE SYSTEM WHERE YOUR FINANCIAL BEHAVIOUR DOESN'T JUST TELL THEM ABOUT YOU, IT DICTATES WHAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO IN THE REAL WORLD.
