It's time to get these people out if politics.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

This is so dangerous for one thief to have this much power over the people's money.

[elizabethjones]

I feel like we are in the twilight zone. Digital currency seems like a no-brainer NO to me. But so do other happenings these days. Why would humans go along with this type of government control? Unreal

It's called "SLAVERY". Which I was under the impression was abolished a long time ago.

[adelinosantos]

That would be the end of freedom. It scares me and most of the people. God help us.

I cant believe Forbes took this tone. We should be very alarmed at what’s to come.

[dianabraley]

It feels like money will become easy to steal, hack, and transfer to others. I’m not a fan of this. And the idea that money would expire? Hello? If I want to hoard my money and not use it - I should not be forced to spend it.

Cbdc is a massive power grab. Terrifying

[LondonCryptoNetwork]

Absolutely correct. CBDCs are the end of our financial freedom and will have a devastating affect on the unbanked - the complete opposite affect of bitcoin. Well done for speaking the truth Mr Forbes!

This is a bad idea, they can control what you buy or do, they can take your money without your consent, they can charge you a fee every time you purchase something

WHY IS A GREAT AMERICAN LIKE MR . FORBES NOT ON EVERY TV CHANNEL AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND EDUCATING THE MASSES

[ronrathey]

Why isn't more people concerned about the digital currency move.

[WWEFans]

What happens 15 years from now when it's just easier to put a chip under your skin that holds all of your personal electronic data? Very slippery slope indeed...

[sandikennelly]

Thank you for speaking the truth. That’s hard to find these days.

[YumegakaMurakumo]

We as a nation have stood up to tyranny. And the time to do it again is NOW at hand. Are we going to be sitting ducks in comfort and complacency come July 1st?

[georgew.]

It’s going to happen. It’s been prophesied about in the Bible. It’s happening. It will be connected with the mark of the beast. And without it you will not buy or sell anything period.

[randywl]

The scary thing to me is I don't know if there's anyway to stop this from happening. I think it's starting out slow and will at some point turn into a steamroller.
