My Bank call me monthly and ask for different transfers. I don't want to pay tax for and fees to others to use the funds to interfere in my life.

Innovation is great, but without privacy protections CBDCs could easily become a financial tracking tool. Guardrails are essential. 🧠

Digital money is fine surveillance money isn’t.

A CBDC without strong privacy = a programmable leash on people’s finances. Digital efficiency shouldn’t cost personal freedom.

Digital Euro is only acceptable if it guarantees privacy. Otherwise, it’s just control with a UX upgrade.
