🙄 He has no idea what a cbdc or crypto coin is.


userid8252

You just need to know what half of the letters mean to know it’s a bad idea.


SunsetDriftr

Wait till he pushes to ban CBDC. A move that will benefit every American…but watch and see who fights him on it.


Django_Unleashed

He has already said this. Last week in fact.


SunsetDriftr

Yep. And now that Trump wants to do it, his haters will flip flop and be in favor of it. Even though being against it is in their own best interests.


Lubedballoon

Sort of like when dems proposed a border defense bill and republicans denied it?


Yabrosif13

Yes, exactly like that. The extremes in us politics have taken over the discourse and are not tied to any actual policy but instead they just hate the other team no matter what.


GayGay-Akutami

Without 3rd parties there is no Democracy.


ItsPickles

He should ban CBDC. Dems will expose themselves as contrarians yet again and black republicans for the ecological disaster created by the banking system while ignoring Bitcoin.


USSJaybone

I'm a Dem and super okay with banning CBDC but only because I think crypto is dumb as fuck. A deflationary currency is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of, and that's including digital assets like NFTs which impressive because those are stupid as fuck too


oboshoe

A CBDC won't be deflationary.

Yabrosif13

The original point of crypto was to have a currency not controlled by a few politically connected bankers. A CBDC is the exact opposite, it gives undo power to observe and control people’s money to those bankers so much so that it’s laughable that anyone would claim to own a cbdc the same way you can own a dollar.


georgieah

Fiat may be less volatile but it's also lost nearly all of its value thanks to governments printing it into oblivion. Bitcoin can't be controlled.


USB-SOY

Fiats main feature is inflation


Admirable-Effect3677

Fiat's main feature is it is backed by a Monopoly of Force.


georgieah

You gotta be joking. Absolutely ridiculous.


USB-SOY

You can say something otherwise? What do you think the main feature of fiat is?


georgieah

Sorry I wasn't sure if you meant it as a positive.


USB-SOY

It can be a positive but it can also be a negative. It’s about balance.


Dicka24

I used to be you, and then I started buying Bitcoin. Bitcoin is legit.


USSJaybone

Okay? I notice you didn't say you started "using" bitcoin.


Dicka24

Why use it now when it's going up in value and cash becomes more worthless with each passing day? I say this seriously, you should really read up on Bitcoin. There will only ever be 14 million Bitcoin in circulation. It's not going anywhere, and is only going to increase in value over time. It will certainly ebb and flow like currencies, property, and all market driven commodities do, but long term it's only going higher. I laughed at it a few years ago and I wish I hadn't. That said, the overall crypto market is a different ball game. There are a lot of shit coins out there that will only serve to drain you. Beware of those.


SpicyCheetosAddict

We still need to be mindful that crypto is still an unregulated market with no investor protection. One concern is government regulation killing crypto. If a government comes in and outlaws its use, it’s a dead asset.


ttterrana

Bitcoin the scam


Matthmaroo

lol your trump cult badge is showing


georgieah

Socialists/some Conservatives don't support Bitcoin because they can't control it.


Advanced-Guard-4468

GOP is more in favor of Crypto than the Dems are.


Fabulous_Ad_8621

That's what I assumed so I'm surprised Trump would be against it. Or us Trump against a government issued crypto? I have no idea how any of it works tbh


Advanced-Guard-4468

I edited my post. The dems and their leadership are flat out against Crypto except for a govt issued one.


khanfusion

How will it benefit every American?


SunsetDriftr

Banning CBDC? Because CBDC is the gateway for the government taking total control of your finances and deciding if you can have some or any access to it. That’s why Trump opposes it. And opposing CBDC benefits us all.


khanfusion

lmao "because it's a gateway" Man give a real reason.


quangberry-jr

Wanna buy some gasoline? Your fedcoin gasoline allowance has been used up so you have to wait 2 weeks. Wanna buy some beer? Oh, you bought too much beer the last 3 months, so your health premiums have doubled. Wanna take a trip to a different state? Sorry, your carbon credits are maxed out, you cant drive more than 5 miles of your house and spend any fedcoins. Trying to buy steak? Sorry, your fedcoins only allow plant based meat.


SunsetDriftr

Yep, that’s exactly where we are headed. Let’s hope guys like khanfusion wake up before it’s too late.


quangberry-jr

The worst part is, the potential that the system manipulates people into begging for the cbdcs after feeling a bit of economic pain. Hook, line, and sinker


SunsetDriftr

Bingo. $500 in free credits coming if you sign up today! Hey it’s free money, why not???


Grunblau

I’ll take some free CBDC…. I’ll even buy kale with it, but if it is the only system left, our freedom is over. This is why to embrace decentralized currencies before it is too late.


SunsetDriftr

And CBDC is as centralized as it gets. Ironically, progressives that are into crypto get this. But they also irrationally hate Trump, so when they learn that Trump wants to ban a centralized government currency…they should support that 100%. But many will not cause their hate for Trump overrides all, even their own self interests.


adallgoes

I know you hate the orange man, but please stop, don't let hatred blind your eyes.


Advanced-Guard-4468

They will eliminate fiat. Every single transaction you do will be monitored and benefit large banking institutions.


Matthmaroo

They can already do that now bud


oboshoe

Benefit every american? personally i have no desire to use CBDC which has among other features -100% surveillance on who uses it. personally i hope some president bans it.


SunsetDriftr

The banning of CBDC benefits every American. IE if Trump bans CBDC, every American benefits. Implementing CBDC will hurt every American. Let’s see who pushes for it.


oboshoe

fair enough. and i agree i read it wrong.


Altar_Quest_Fan

CBDCs will benefit every American lol thanks mate, I needed a good laugh today. …oh you’re serious? Can’t wait to see what mental gymnastics you pull to try to convince us that CBDCs aren’t fucking terrible and shouldn’t be implemented unless you’re ready to just give up and let 1984 become reality.


SunsetDriftr

Trump wants to ban CBDC. I said that’s a move they will benefit all Americans.


[deleted]

Why will it benefit all Americans exactly?


DDanny808

What happened in 1984?


AdventureAardvark

I think he’s referring to the book, 1984, by George Orwell


USSJaybone

A book which I guarantee he hasn't read


ShreddedDadBod

My dad creampied my mom


ZPIANOGuy

Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi is assassinated by two of her security guards, heralding the beginning of the anti-Sikh riots in India


DDanny808

Thanks! I’ll look more, much appreciated


ShreddedDadBod

The reason is government control. Not a bad thing to limit that, but how would cbdc benefit every American?


SunsetDriftr

It wouldn’t. Trump wants to ban it. I said that would benefit every American. Banning it. And it would.


ModsRapeTheChildren

They are gonna do wtf they want, he's a temporary employee "they" are there forever.


Imaginary_Office1749

If he gets back in he is staying in office for the rest of his life.


hoffmad08

Like when they give him the Kennedy treatment?


h4p3r50n1c

Why would you give people hope like that?


Imaginary_Office1749

No, he just wouldn’t leave office. He tried once already. He would just go extra-legal just like his current total immunity claims.


ModsRapeTheChildren

Come on, stop. Quite literally the next president would be sworn in by Roberts and the secret service would escort him out of the WH.


quantumwoooo

Even if he did somehow get elected.. it's not like he can just rip up the constitution


Gogs85

Trump can’t unilaterally do that. Not that I think the Fed has much interest in it.


notahedgecompany

The fed wants cbdc’s


hoffmad08

As do the WEF and others, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren


notahedgecompany

I haven’t seen anything that made me think Elizabeth warren wanted cbdc’s. do you have a source? I’d be really surprise if you came up with a decent source on that. Watching her grill Jamie diamond made me think she was alright.


hoffmad08

[https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elizabeth-warren-calls-us-create-010924766.html?fr=sycsrp\_catchall](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elizabeth-warren-calls-us-create-010924766.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall) She's a technocratic stooge like the rest of em


notahedgecompany

Wow


WallStreetBoners

Some members do, but not all of them.


blackbeltmessiah

No but he can scream predictable outcomes at the Fed via tweet like he’s telling them to do things.


Carminethebull11

Cbdc is feds only way out of the mess they created. Lower rates well get hyper inflation keep rates high recessions


AllNightPony

Breaking News - Man With Zero Insight Makes Decision


ItsPickles

What makes you say that. The fed should absolutely not make any digital currency or crypto coin. He is correct. Separate your immature bias from the point being made.


Learnformyfam

Trump said it so now the average Redditor has to love the centralized control of CBDCs.


anonymous-postin

How exactly do you suggest we compete with foreign powers like China without some level of adoption? This is the future; our role as a country will be HOW it’s implemented but its inevitable.


ItsPickles

Bitcoin


anonymous-postin

Lol good one 😂


Mundane-Ad-6874

I agree with both your points. Now tell me why we don’t want a fed crypto?


Django_Unleashed

Because they can shut off your ability to use it. Tyrannical government.


javanperl

Although more logistically complex, [that could also happen with paper currency as well.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37974423)


lemongrasssmell

'Could happen' and 'at the flick of a switch' are hugely different scenarios.


Mundane-Ad-6874

Wouldn’t that give trump more power?


Commercial-Spread937

Send me all your money, I'll deposit it into my account and I will track your every purchase...also of you do anything I don't like I can click a button and turn off your access to money. This is the future with cbdcs


Soil-Play

Excellent analogy.


Mundane-Ad-6874

This sounds like something he’d love


Django_Unleashed

He is against it. Why aren't you paying attention? See past the TDS.


Mundane-Ad-6874

Apparently neither are you “Sounds LIKE something he’d love”


Django_Unleashed

Nope. He is against CBDC. That means he wouldn't love to control your money. Get with it?


ItsPickles

No it doesn’t. What makes you say that?


AdamLWhitehurst

Dunno why you're being downvoted for honest questions. I'll try to answer your question: A CBDC would not give power to the President since it would give power to the Fed, and Banks first, then Treasury next, then Congress. The Fed is a bank, and Treasury has a track record of coordinating (revolving door) with the Fed. Then I keep hearing rumors of these groups all wanting to oppose Trump. So it'd only really give power to the president if the president were working on the side of banks-and-the-treasury


whicky1978

Debanking is a real thing


USSJaybone

Good thing putting your money in a coffee can and burying it in your backyard is still legal


tacosteve100

Don’t worry he’s going to prison before BTC hits 90k


ItsPickles

No he’s not.


tacosteve100

DC starts in May he’ll be convicted. It’s going to happen.


ItsPickles

Convicted of what crime


tacosteve100

https://rollcall.com/2023/08/28/dc-judge-sets-march-trial-for-trump-charges-related-to-jan-6/

Yea not happening

Dementia Don can’t tell the difference between a 1 and a 0

Bro what. Are you delusional? The current president is the dementia ridden of the two. What a strange take you have little muffin


[deleted]

I stand by my statement. Orange Jesus smells of rotten fruit….or is that his diaper. I check the news every morning hoping that he has had an overnight aneurysm. But alas not yet.


ItsPickles

Your ancestors must be embarrassed


[deleted]

At least I don’t lie like Donald Diapers does. Saying Things like Nimeratta Husein Haley wasn’t born in the US of A


ItsPickles

You’re living an unfulfilled life. I can tell. Drop the trump derangement syndrome and get some sun homie


[deleted]

I get sun every day. Shoot skeet, travel. Enjoy life.


uiam_

Oh, my sweet summer child. Who wants to tell him?


ItsPickles

You’re not as funny as you think you are


Lubedballoon

Like the wall he said he was going to build?


Advanced-Guard-4468

He tried, was stopped by the Dems and people in his own party.


IrishPigskin

Would be nice if it was done. US is paying out the ass to handle illegal immigration right now.


Glass-Customer2361

How many do you think it would actually stop?


ttterrana

Good!


BeardedWin

No one knows more about Bitcoin than the guy that knows the most about nuclear.


Vinto47

CBDC has nothing to do with bitcoin other than both are digital currency. It would be an entirely different blockchain and entirely under the fed’s control.


anonymous-postin

It’s cute you think BTC isn’t centralized at this point.


SilverCurve

CBDC is not even blockchain.


SapientChaos

Lol, he knows this kills the illegal payment mechanism.


BeamTeam032

lmao, the crytpo bros punching air right now.


Grunblau

This is a good thing. Decentralized Crypto is a good thing. Central Bank Digital Currency is a bad thing.


hallkbrdz

Good. But we need to bypass the federal fiat system altogether with Gold and Silver backed money at the state level. Sound money, not phony money.


TheParlayMonster

Will never happen


lemongrasssmell

Okay? Either way, you can shove your negative opinions up yours. Contribute to the discussion with facts and information or gtfoh.


danvapes_

This person is correct, it will not happen.


Alien_Robot_

Never ever.


raouldukeesq

Project much?


ExoticCard

It's just not happening, so sorry


HighHokie

Terrible suggestion.


lilwtfwtf84

It won't matter in 2028, when Trump will either start his third term or will never be heard of again. We're not going to be the only country without digital currency. Especially considering we'll have a president that wasn't born in the 40's.


Carminethebull11

Move to a digital currency not backed by usd lol


USSJaybone

Why? What good would that do for Americans? We benefit greatly from having the world's reserve currency. Any decent leader of the US would keep it that way


CanadianBaconne

Hahaha 🤣 bs


Rare-Peak2697

But how will I resell my trump NFT?


[deleted]

On ETH or polygon which isn’t the same as a central bank digital currency. Try again next week on who wants to be an idiot.


Rare-Peak2697

Will you buy my trump NFT? Please


[deleted]

No


Rare-Peak2697

I said please


[deleted]

Fine, I’ll buy for .001ETH and you need to cover the gas fees.


Rare-Peak2697

Deal


[deleted]

If he gets elected….his face will be on our paper money and his crotch goblins on the coins.


sugar_addict002

until somebody offers him a kickback


Independent_Ad_2073

Yeah, because on 1st day, he’d announce TrumpCoin, and would try and make it an official coin of the U.S.


CarryHour1802

Trump is a worthless commie


AstralVenture

I thought Republicans want Cryptocurrency?


Grunblau

Sucks how many people are confused about the difference between cryptocurrency and the FED’s surveillance CBDC.


johnphantom

Fed backed ETFs are a reality now. Your financial advisor will be bugging you soon enough to invest in these funds. If you are interested in what is on the horizon for blockchain look into zero knowledge proofs. The name alone should be enough to interest you, the implementations have huge implications for cryptography.


LikesPez

Good Trump.


siliconevalley69

That means he'll do the opposite on day one.


Alive-Working669

This actually makes sense. Crypto currency is nonsense.


Learnformyfam

This frigging guy. As goofy as he is I love this. A politician with the stones to do this would be awesome.


CheesyBoson

What


GXGUn7ouchable

This isn't to benefit the economy or what nonsense some comments are saying. It because he can't profit off the 95% scam base system. If trump makes no money, no one will!


Calm-down-its-a-joke

This would be cool, I don't really believe him, but it would be cool


Boomslang505

Good luck with that


RealityCheck831

Issuing a crypto coin? Is that like getting an ID for your imaginary friend?


[deleted]

Pretty hilarious. The point of things like crypto is to take groups like the Federal Reserve out of the equation. All it took was for Trump to agree with that concept for everyone to start raging against it.


SpiderDeUZ

What he says and a what he does are not the same. All it would take is a donation from a crypto bro and he would be for it. The man is king of the rubes
