U.S. Senator Warns Against CBDCs

June 12, 2023 By Dick Young

Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee has warned against the dangers of implementing a central bank digital currency. Bitcoin.com reports: U.S. senator Bill Hagerty has warned about what he thinks are the true objectives behind the recent legal actions against exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, which have been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with violating securities laws. Hagerty, a long-time critic of the SEC’s stance against crypto, believes that the organization is purposefully leading platforms out of the U.S. with a single objective: to establish a single central … [Read more...]

No one knows, but it is obvious regulators are ramping up the attention they're paying to crypto after the SEC accused Binance and Coinbase Global of violating the law. Barron's Jack Denton reports: Doomsayers have called the death of cryptocurrency many times since Bitcoin launched 14 years ago. This week provided another opportunity after the Securities and Exchange Commission accused two leading exchanges of violating a slew of U.S. laws. The crackdown against Binance and Coinbase Global COIN +1.41% (ticker: COIN) darkens long-term prospects … [Read more...]

CBDCs Not “Just Another Form of Money”

June 6, 2023 By Dick Young

At the Cato Institute, Norbert Michel and Nicholas Anthony explain that a "CBDC (central bank digital currency) is not 'just another form of money,' as some of its supporters have claimed." No other form of money gives governments the ability to control what you spend your money on, how much you spend, or even to take money back out of your account at a moment's notice. Michel and Anthony slam the recent defense of CBDCs by Paul Krugman. They write: This April Forbes column describes why central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are a fundamental issue related to Americans’ freedom and much … [Read more...]

June 5, 2023 By Dick Young

BEWARE: The Road to Digital Currencies

March 30, 2023 By E.J. Smith

With everything going on in the banking world, is it any wonder Your Survival Guy likes doing business with Fidelity? It’s a non-bank, non-publicly traded company. Banks are under enormous government pressure to consolidate, while publicly traded brokerages are pressured to meet quarterly earnings. It’s a bad one-two punch. Look at Charles Schwab, for example. It has a banking division and is publicly traded. Its stock is down over 30% year to date. Fidelity is not a bank. It’s privately held. It’s a family-run business. What could possibly go wrong now that all depositors are … [Read more...]

Will the Black Swan Usher in Digital Dollars?

March 15, 2023 By E.J. Smith

What’s most disturbing about a black swan event is how it affects the rest of us. What will this non-bailout, bailout of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature usher in? Will we have a new way of banking where the Fed gets to call the shots? Will digital dollars be their way to control us? Because it’s times like these when those in power usher in change in the name of following “the science.” Will this give them the extra inch they need to tell us that currency digitization is for our “protection?” One thing’s for sure, we’re not going back to the way life was. Sitting in my cave, it never … [Read more...]
