What is actually even the benefit of going to cryptocurrency if the government is going to control it, and be able to inflate it at will?

You end up with only very minor benefits. Basically, the current dollar already is a digital dollar, because most people pay using credit. Cards are slowly disappearing and being replaced with CashApp or other bank apps where you pay by scanning a QR code. So most of the benefits that a CBDC would present already exist with the current dollar.

The benefit of Bitcoin is that it is sound money – it is a limited supply, which means that it cannot be inflated. The government cannot rob you by printing money and making your money worthless. It is also a perfect balance of transparency, privacy and independence.

Signs are starting to point to it.

If the dollar fails as the world reserve currency, it would be because faith is lost in the US GOVT.

When they get to the point where they have to choose between a decentralized crypto based currency they can't control, and a gold backed digital dollar that the world elite will get behind, they will choose the latter.

Foreigners love dollars, so the US will contribute the name recognition of the dollar to the one world currency.

I'm not sure whether all of this is stupid or malicious but it sounds like one of the two.

>rumor has it

>signs are pointing to it

>my bet is

>The FED, the fucking FED, is going to return to a gold-backed currency

>how else would they stabilize a new currency? they've never done a currency backed by nothing before right?

>everyone buy gold now

>they've never done a currency backed by nothing before right?>>

How could they simply put out a new currency backed by nothing if their first one failed to the point of losing its world reserve status? You completely ignored my point.

If you fucking read I had set up a choice. A decentralized uncontrolled blockchain as world reserve currency OR a new exciting gold backed digital currency that is controllable, has name recognition, and will keep the elite in control of the money.

Last I checked it has not lost its status as the world's reserve currency. I read your comment, it was just totally stupid to only consider these options when obvious others exist (create a centrally controlled, fiat currency and continue playing the same old tricks, for example). Moreover, gold-backed currency would not be an attractive option for the Fed at all because then they wouldn't be able to print infinity more of it whenever they want. That is the whole reason for having this system in the first place, so obviously the system is not going to endorse effectively getting rid of itself.

No one is really this stupid. You are pretending to be a stupid person in order to push these malicious ideas.
