“While protecting children is a genuine concern, and social media has exposed them to confusion, identity crises, hyper-sexualisation, peer pressure, addiction, and distorted realities during a critical stage of development, it does not mean the solution should be surrendering to digital control. Once children’s
safety becomes the justification for online restrictions, it becomes easy for those seeking control to introduce systems that go beyond protection.” - Marie May

Dear Cryptors, CRYPTO IS NOT CBDC — Stop Mixing Them Up
“Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are decentralised by design. They operate on open, permissionless networks, free from direct government control. CBDCS, by contrast, are digital versions of a nation's fiat currency, issued and fully controlled by its central bank. One offers financial independence; the other extends state oversight.
Conflating the two only plays into regulatory narratives that seek to lump all digital assets under the same restrictive rules.”

“A CBDC works under a system where money moves in a way that can be seen and managed at the national
level. It could make payments faster and cheaper, expand access for the unbanked, and help governments reach people directly. But key questions remain: how private are your transactions, will you fully control your money, what happens without reliable networks or smartphones, will cash still exist, and will people be guided through the transition or pushed into systems they don’t fully understand?” - Marie May

This centralisation is happening very fast, without transparency too. When a NIN is to represent your entire life, what you earn, what you owe, what you access, then the system holding that number has too much power over you.

“The purpose of technology is to serve, not to control. By phasing out cash, the spontaneous shopping spree or buying roadside Rolex is shackled, removing an aspect of liberty. This is a call to the governments to look past the shortcuts and find long-term innovations that will not cause humanity to be at the mercy of technology. We are our own threat, not technology.”
