Crypto Euro - Cash+

InsolentiaeCash+, the digital crypto-euro unveiled, a digital ticket that is useless!

Insolentiae – June 29, 2023

I will let you read the latest speech by the Governor of the Banque de France who unveiled the name of the future European crypto-currency, “Cash+”.

   

It's nice to have Cash +, it's cash, but in a more… “more better” version, I suppose, as my children say.

But between you and me, what is the use of such a “digital” central bank currency, since our euro is in fact very largely dematerialized. Between our payments by credit card, “contactless” and the transfers we make to each other, cash only represents a very negligible proportion of our exchanges.

So from you to me, for us, the people, SMEs, or even larger companies, this new "cash+" thing has absolutely no interest is it's rather "hide+" because yes, things are hidden from us !

These things that are hidden from us are very easy to understand and are expressed in half-words by the Governor of the Bank of France.

What is hidden from us and what is not discussed obviously revolves around privacy and above all control and surveillance.

In the words of the Governor of the Banque de France, "Cash+" will bring significant advantages over banknotes: it will allow everyone to use central bank money in e-commerce, for remote payments between peers (peer-to-peer), as well as for conditional payments. »

Officially, as you can see, these are e-banknotes that you can therefore use for your online payments. Online payments that we make today without any problem with our current means of payment.

Once again, this e-ticket, this central bank crypto-currency does absolutely nothing. It brings us nothing or so little that our authorities must not bother to such an extent to set it up for us.

So if this is not of much use to us, but they are very keen on it, it is because the advantages are not necessarily for the population, but for the monetary and banking authorities (without forgetting the political authorities), because in the long term, the elimination of physical cash is obviously a reduction in costs. It is also the establishment of monetary control making tax evasion almost impossible. It is also in an extreme view, the monetary component of potential social control as in China. Your digital wallet, like your health pass, can be deactivated, recharged, or limited. We could even delete it for you.

In short, the potential drifts are such that it is a subject which obviously deserves a national democratic and philosophical debate.

Here is the text of the Banque de France source speech here.

Binance

InsolentiaeBinance, doubts begin to arise

Insolentiae – Dec 16, 2022

Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange (and based in the Cayman Islands) is in the news and not for good reason.

   

Binance's "proof of reserves" raises doubts in the face of an elusive Mazars report, and US prosecutors are considering a money laundering indictment.

But if not, go ahead folks, keep believing the crypto eco-system is healthy. Well no. Not only is it not healthy, but it is also unhealthy and finally, before being able to invest serenely in this delirious world, it will first be necessary to go through the great cleaning of the stables of Augeas.

“In the wake of the bankruptcy of FTX, CZ, the boss of Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world in terms of trading volumes, launched the idea of ​​“proof of reserve”, encouraging exchange platforms to disclose the details of their reserves to reassure them of their financial health”. The idea is to "prove" that the company does indeed hold the bitcoins and crypto-assets it claims to hold. But even that doesn't prove much.

QactusFlash: US, Ukraine, money laundering via the FTX crypto platform

Qactus - Nov 13, 2022

Flash, tens of billions of US dollars were transferred to Ukraine and then, through FTX cryptocurrency, the funds were laundered for the benefit of Democrats in the United States.

   

Rumor has it that Ukraine took the money they were given and put it in FTX and FTX gave it back to the Democrats. This is how the Democrats laundered Ukraine's money. If true, this story needs to explode until everyone involved is buried.

April 25, 2019: Biden announces his presidential campaign. 13 days later, Sam Bankman-Frites, son of Barbara Frit (Stanford professor and co-founder of the political fundraising organization “l’Esprit-le-Gap”), launched the #FTX cryptocurrency exchange. The exchange is magically successful overnight. SBF becomes Joe Biden's biggest donor. On Election Day, FTX completely implodes. If you think this scandal is over, it goes even deeper.

Official bitcoin in El Salvador

Réseau InternationalBitcoin becomes official in El Salvador

International Network - Sep 14, 2021

The Salvadorans, on the initiative of their president Nayib Bukele, will be able, from September 7, to use Bitcoin as an official currency of their country. The US dollar will always be a current currency in the territory of the small Central American state. This measure to revitalize the national economy is greeted with suspicion by the population.

   

“The arrival of Bitcoin will have a “negative impact” on the quality of life of the population due to the “high volatility of the exchange rate”. “The prices of goods and services will be impacted.” He goes on to call cryptocurrency a “Titanic that no one rules”.

Oscar Cabrera, former president of the Central Bank of El Salvador, economist at the National University
