The New Digital Currency That Could Save The Global Economy – Steve Forbes | What's Ahead | Forbes

Governments, including the U.S., are spending money on a scale not seen since WWII, and most of that is being financed by their central banks printing massive amounts of money. Inflation is, undeniably, a looming threat, but what can we do? Steve Forbes takes a look at a possible solution emerging in Latin America that would be one of history’s biggest monetary revolutions and the new digital currency that could save the global economy.

  1. RUN ON BANKS IF THEY ATTEMPT IT, GOLD BACKED PAPER CURRENCY, DIGITS ARE WORTHLESS, GOLD, SILVER, COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, IS REAL WEALTH, A DIGIT IS UTTERLY WORTHLESSX AND CAN BE STOLEN BY BANKRUPT GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND EVIL TRAITORS IN THE MILITARY WHO MURDERED 1 MILLION AMERICANS
    FOREIGN CENTRAL BANKER TOTALITARIANISM
    PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, WE ALREADY HAVE CREDIT CARDS 6 MOS PROTECTION, DEBIT CARDS, GOVERNMENT IS BANKRUPT AND OWES $31 TRILLION,

  2. No gold physical gold silver, and food and farming animals fruit and eggs milk. Vegetables and oil, and long with raw meteral.
    What happened resent near my house a Cumberland farm credit card machine went down
    Sign said cash only.
    Another store lost power a few months ago guess what sign pop up .
    Cash only.
    It happened more then you think.
    When there no power how do buy with Digital currency.
    The person selling product need power to receive digital currency.
    But when power out or internet down the sign pop up cash only. Even gold back are being used in our state don’t need power or internet for that 2

  3. I like decentralized technologies but for example bitcoin would be horrible as a world currency replacing ordinary money. Why? I suspect that there are technical risks with Bitcoin but even if it is technically safe and decentralized without centralized control, those who own a lot of bitcoins today would become multi bitcoin trillionaires if it becomes the world's dominating currency, cementing a huge rich-poor divide. The same with any new cryptocurrency, those with a lot of money today would be able to "corner the coin" so to speak at an early stage and reap large profits as the coin becomes more and more used. I think we instead need a global digital currency issued by for example the IMF (e-SDRs) that can be tokenized into e-dollar, e-euoros and e-yuans etc.

  4. “ The Truth is that every single AMERICAN it will be turned in to Slaves, now We have a Toilet paper Dollar bill, but next Year You will look at the Screen and You will be Happier than ever.”

  5. Fed coin will make crypto less profitable for investors and more profitable for the government. If the government makes crypto more stable it means they own most of it and investors won't see the volatility to make money. Don't be fooled!

  6. Any centrally controlled currency is in opposition to freedom. Do not let regulators and those who wish to be in control of global banking give you the solution. They are why we're in this mess to begin with.

  7. Wisdom and Counsel help the Government save Billions of Dollars in War Spending, Medical Expenses, and unnecessary spending related to Recovering from Damages and Losses.

  8. I'm sure the next generation of the dollar aka robo dollar will save the world…. it'll most likely be no diff than the paper dollar.. it'll be much easier for the fed n Gov instead of printing all they need to do is add zeros to it……. guys buy silver and gold and protect yourself from the ponsey scheme known as the us dollar

  9. Umm hi hello🤚The cbdc central bank digital currency.Will be on blockchain ,if u do not know what that is I will tell u.Its basically slavery! tracked and traced 💯. Freedom will be byebye.All no good at all!! We already are getting screwed because the backs at this moment are completely corrupt and fraud from its founding!!! Illegal as could be!!! give me a break!!

  10. This will give total surveillance control over every aspect of freedom you have throwing you into slavery state to the likes you have never seen or imagined. total control over everything you do.

  11. That's why cryptocurrency doesn't work today. It's tied to the dollar which is controlled by Central Banks and greedy politicians paid to look the other way. I'd rather go back to trading sea shells.
