BofA: Digital Dollar Coming 2025-2030

Money that expires if you don't spend it fast enough... forcing you to consume instead of save. Money that only works on approved purchases... Money that can be switched off entirely. This isn't a conspiracy theory. 114 countries, representing 98% of global GDP, are already building it. But while they build the control grid... A parallel system already operates outside it, something that allows you to opt out of the control they're trying to force.tc pixel
