86 - CBDC Tracker with Nicholas Anthony

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Nicholas Anthony, co-creator of CBDC Tracker. They discuss how Central Bank Digital Currencies will work practically, their myriad logistical problems, and their legality in the United States. They also cover the unrecognized economic problems of CBDCs, black box debanking, cybersecurity concerns of CBDCs, CBDCs as a PSYOP, Operation Choke Point, the Financial Tyranny Index, and more. Anthony’s scholarly take on CBDCs is much appreciated.
