Bitcoin puts at risk both a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and the state’s monopoly on money, which is why the federal government will do everything it can to prevent its successful emergence—or that of any alternative currencies. We need to fight against laws and rx.com/i/web/status/1…money’s independent development. Good money—whatever form it takes—is indispensable to a free future.

The Federal Reserve has long been involved in currency manipulation, and it now threatens to extend the state’s reach over our money and lives through a digital dollar known as a central bank digital currency. Under a CBDC regime, federal officials could—without the aid of any tx.com/i/web/status/1…—alter the value of our funds, set units to expire, block our transactions, seize or transfer our funds, or coerce us into taking certain actions. No government with these capabilities will be able to resist exploiting such power for its own ends at the expense of due process of law and individual rights. We need to stop CBDCs and promote the freedom of money.

@twobitidiot @blknoiz06 @standwithcrypto Ryan, there’s clearly some mistake here. Mike Rogers is an architect of the surveillance state and also terrible on crypto (he earned a “?” on the scorecard—and even that’s way too generous given his horrible record), while I’ve been relentlessly focused on decentralizing money. x.com/justinamash/st…

A digital currency administered by a massive central government is one of the most dangerous developments in history. Finance must be decoupled from the state and decentralized. When the state can turn off your ability to transact with a switch, it controls your whole existence.

We must prevent adoption of a central bank digital currency but then also take the next step of denationalizing money. Bitcoin is the most promising money innovation in our lifetime. We need a wall of separation between money and state. Click here to help: secure.justinamash.com/donate?source_…

Mandatory E-Verify is yet another tool for the federal government to control you, being sold to you as a security measure. E-Verify is laying the foundation for national biometric databases, CBDCs, and a social credit system, giving the state almost absolute power over your life.

A central bank digital currency is an instrument of tyranny. No government can resist the impulse to “correct” your divergent thinking or behavior when it has such a potent and convenient economic weapon to compel your compliance. Decentralize money and reject the digital dollar.

As speaker, I would decentralize the House of Representatives. Outcomes must never be dictated from the top. The speaker’s primary role is to ensure a fair, open, deliberative process that allows members of the House to *discover* outcomes by voting on ideas from the whole body.

Maybe (in fact, likely) a radically different social media model—a type of decentralized network—is necessary for the health of humanity. If so, let’s get to that place sooner by trying different things and not settling for a system that most of us acknowledge doesn’t work well.

When the Federal Reserve rapidly adds trillions of dollars to its balance sheet to cover trillions of dollars in government spending, don’t be surprised when prices go up. If you want to end serious and persistent inflation, then you have to end the Fed. Decentralize finance.
