In a paper published by Payments Canada back in 2021, they admit that a lot of the perceived negatives for Canadians’ privacy posed by Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) are seen as a positive by the Canadian government.
Corbyn goes on to paint a compelling picture that, with or without this disastrous policy of money printing, the US dollar was close to reaching the end of its life cycle as a fiat currency anyway. Corbyn explains the ‘long term debt cycle’ here, and how the U.S. dollar was easily calculable to be reaching its fiat dollar twilight years in and around the year 2020.

Can anyone really afford to wait 10 minutes, minimum, when buying coffee at Tim Hortin’s? The idea is ridiculous and although Bitcoin was built with the aim of replacing the fiat system until recently it was incapable of filling all the roles the fiat dollar system filled in society.

The current trendy propagandist push against Bitcoin is that it is bad for the environment, an attack line perfect for an organization like the World Economic Forum.

There is no rule that says countries must declare their intent to make Bitcoin legal tender at the annual Bitcoin Conference. It could very easily happen sometime even this year that more countries follow the path El Salvado has set out, and here’s a list of strong candidates in contention.
Less than a week after appearing as a speaker at the 2022 Bitcoin Conference in Miami, promising to forward legislation recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender in Mexico, Mexican Senator Indira Kempis has forwarded legislation to push for CBDC adoption in Mexico.
