NSA whistleblower and journalist Edward Snowden is known to comment on Bitcoin and crypto-adoption. However, in the latest vprašanje of his newsletter, Nadaljevanje Ed, Snowden cited an članek discussing whether the U.S could mint a platinum coin worth $1 trillion.
In doing so, Snowden also spurred a discussion on centralized money, CBDC, and their possible use case as surveillance tools.

Biti ali ne biti ... orodje za nadzor
First off, Snowden denied that Central Bank Digital Currencies are a kind of “digital dollar,” or a nation’s acceptance of cryptocurrency. To define CBDCs, Snowden se imenuje njim,
"... najnovejša nevarnost na javnem obzorju."
What’s more, Snowden opisano a hypothetical situation to show how a CBDC might be used to surveil and control users.
Predstavil je primer namišljenega varnostnika, ki mora omejiti vnos sladkorja. Po poročanju prijavitelja nepravilnosti bi lahko zavarovalnica tega moškega posredovala te zdravstvene podatke v njegovo denarnico CBDC. Če si moški želi kupiti sladko poslastico, bi mu to lahko preprečila denarnica - tudi če jo kupuje za vnukinjo.
What then is the relationship between CBDCs and decentralized crypto? Are they the same or are they related? Snowden trdil,,
"Namesto tega je CBDC nekaj bližje temu, da postanete perverzija kriptovalut, ali vsaj temeljnih načel in protokolov kriptovalute - kriptofašističnovaluta ... "
CBDC - Ali so res znak svobode?
Prizadevanja za razvoj in izdajo več CBDC -jev so povzročila, da so številne fiat valute izgubile svojo vrednost. Pravzaprav je šele pred kratkim ekonomist Johns Hopkins Steve Hanke deli tedensko obvestilo o tem, katere valute držav so se amortizirale glede na ameriški dolar.
Vsak teden objavim Hanke's #CurrencyWatchlist: košarica valut, ki se je od januarja '20 znižala za 20%+ glede na USD. Ta teden je libanonski funt še naprej polnil. Njena depreciacija glede na USD še naprej spodbuja visoko inflacijo Leba. Leb ZDAJ potrebuje valutno tablo! pic.twitter.com/bsZbbsfH0S

Here, it is interesting to note that out of these countries, Turkey’s digital Lira is in its research stage. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s e-naira is reportedly pripravljati se for a launch – though the original 1 October launch date was odloženo. China is also dirka naprej with its e-CNY pilot program.
Mnogi pa menijo, da CBDC niso vedno znak zdravega gospodarskega razvoja ali celo svobode. Snowden je eden izmed njih.
The Index of Economic Freedom considers Vrste 12 of economic freedom, ranging from government integrity to fiscal health. In 2021, the Index put Turčija at 76th, making it “moderately free.” This was not as alarming as Nigeria’s rank of 105th, however, putting it in the “mostly unfree” category.
China was close too, with an even lower uvrstitev 107.
V luči zgoraj omenjenega je morda Snowdenovo kritiko CBDC lažje kontekstualizirati in postaviti v perspektivo.
It’s worth noting, however, that the IMF’s Kristalina Georgieva was quick to pojasni recently that only one country had issued a CBDC so far – The Bahamas’ Peščeni dolar. The Bahamas’ rank on the Index was 70, making it “moderately free.”
