Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) corrupts money into tool for coercion & control. Thankfully, there is no legal way to implement CBDC in America w/o legislation. In addition, a bipartisan coalition in Congress is working to actively ban CBDC development or implementation. twitter.com/CatoInstitute/…
