Welcome to the New World Order

The Dark Side of Crypto

8/6/2025

Cryptocurrency symbolizes the future of commerce and personal finance. However, the appeal of efficiency and privacy hides a darker, Orwellian-like scenario of government control, compliance, and submission. The ideas of the New World Order come true with the establishment of a central banking system.

While decentralized digital currencies like Bitcoin were initially celebrated as tools for financial freedom, offering anonymity, peer-to-peer transactions, and independence from traditional banks and governments, central banks have quickly responded with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Unlike Bitcoin, CBDCs are not decentralized. They are issued, regulated, and monitored by the government, allowing an unprecedented level of surveillance over every transaction.

With CBDCs, every purchase, donation, or transfer is recorded on a ledger fully accessible to centralized authorities. In theory, this could help fight crime and tax evasion. In practice, it creates the possibility for complete financial surveillance. Imagine a world where your spending habits are analyzed in real-time by algorithms trained to flag "suspicious behavior," and where the definition of suspicious can change overnight, driven by political shifts or bureaucratic overreach.

What’s more concerning is the programmability of these digital currencies. With a flip of a switch, access to your money could be restricted based on your social media activity, political views, or even your diet and carbon footprint. This isn’t hypothetical. Pilot programs are already happening in several countries, where expiration dates are added to digital currency to force consumer spending or restrictions are placed on purchases to promote “responsible” behavior.

This level of control turns money from a symbol of freedom into a tool of obedience. Non-compliance could mean more than frozen accounts; it could result in economic exile. A society where financial freedom is conditional is one where liberty itself becomes transactional.

The EU has approved Central Bank Digital Currencies, the UK is requiring Face-ID for most applications, and the US government is advocating for CBDCs in the form of stablecoins (Genius Act). It’s shocking how quickly they’re pushing the surveillance agenda.

Even more troubling is how CBDCs seamlessly connect with digital ID systems, facial recognition, and AI-driven surveillance. Collectively, this infrastructure resembles a digital panopticon, where every movement, decision, and dollar spent becomes a data point in a vast system of control.

The dream of a decentralized future is being rewritten by those who seek power through precision. In the name of modernization and efficiency, we may be willingly walking into a cage of our own convenience.
