Or they do but I feel like the gravity of the statement alone never really registers

Was recently reading a book written a long ass time ago by some Brit where he talked about how a lot of the value in currency (coins and paper of the time) came from the fact that they were all tangible

And now wealth/money is completely digital. Of course the fed still prints shit, but with the amount of people who use Apple Pay/venmo to exchange “money” from person to person?

Actually, does anyone know what I’m trying to say rn? Is money just a Trojan horse?

Non-cash currency is a project to exclude non-consumers from the economy and to surveil everyone else. Every good or service that requires a credit card or only does online payments is a good or service that is denied to people that can’t afford the cost of entry into the non-cash economy. Every digital payment is a non-repudiable contract with your name on it that’ll be a tack on some electronic conspiracy board cooked up by an LLM.
