Cash or anything else
Again, it's the voucher nature of the stuff. It can just quietly decline to be used for purchase of physical cash, or of fixed assets, or anything that lets you escape this combined vouchers-and-social-credit system that's being built.
I imagine any possibility of currency trading goes out the window as well, for the same reason: You're on ProleBucks™, now go spend what meagre money we've graciously decided to give you on an insect burger, pleb!
The key point about digital currencies, from what I can tell, is that the organisation issuing the digital currency still gets to control what it is used for, even after it's issued.
It's less "cash" and more "food vouchers". If your employer decides that your wages aren't to be spent on anything irresponsible like stocks and shares, with digital currencies they can enforce this.
It's their ideal form of government. One giant, authoritarian machine, that they get to control.
Haven't you noticed that whenever you try and convince a population to go socialist it never quite works?
About the only "successful" (if it's not obscene to use that phrase in this context) implementations of socialism have been when a very small group of people are convinced to impose it upon the rest of their population.
This bunch fundamentally believe that as a mere citizen you are simply too stupid to act in your own best interests and that, because of this, you must surrender your decision making capabilities to the state or it's agents. Willingly or not.
At it's core, it's an argument from authority.
If I was LGBT I would not be terribly happy about the way that lefties keep linking paedophilia and LGBT.
I mean, if you're just a regular gay guy and these geniuses keep insisting that paedophilia is fine because gay ... do you not find it concerning that the state is saying that yes, the gays are coming for your children - but the state is just fine with that?
Not least if you have to interact with the parents of any children.
If you're of a particular bent the purpose of mass media is to bend entire populations to your will, it's an almost Soviet attitude towards it.
Can they please just make sci-fi/fantasy at least mostly about sci-fi/fantasy?
They already can. But they won't. They're campaigning to make USD useless anyway, what possible concern could these people have for losses?
I suspect that's the point of it. Give an interval that can sound reasonable while actually doing everything you can to prevent somebody making use of it.
It's not any shadier than anything else Lorenz has done, is it?
It's difficult, though, because you have an entire state apparatus telling them that they personally have been rendered helpless by whitey, but it's OK, the government will fix it for them.
It's deliberately a seductive, almost anesthetic message.
sacrificed our elders for the sake of freedom
This is the thing that gets me.
Did they ask those elders if they were okay with everybody's freedoms being revoked in their name? Maybe I missed it because I'm British, but I'm fairly sure that nobody over here actually asked those elderly we're protecting if that's what they wanted. Speaking to my mum, it certainly isn't what she would have chosen if anybody bothered to ask her, but they didn't, such was their haste to imprison the entire country.
As far as I am aware, nobody ever successfully doxed Mombot, although a few SJWs tried and failed.
