“This isn’t the end of the road to totalitarianism, but I’m pretty sure we are in the home stretch. It feels like things are about to get ugly. […] So pick a side, if you haven’t already. But, before you do, maybe look back at the history of totalitarian systems, which, for some reason, never seem to work out for the totalitarians, at least not in the long run. I’m not a professional philosopher or anything, but I suspect that might have something to do with some people’s inextinguishable desire for freedom, and our willingness to fight for it, sometimes to the death. This kind of feels like one of those times.”

This week, we finalize our 2nd Quarter 2021 Wrap Up by discussing our theme: CBDCs—Why You Want to Hold on to Your Cash with John Titus.
It is essential to understand the proposals underway. In my opinion, CBDCS (central bank digital currencies) are an essential part of the ongoing financial coup d’état which—if successful—will end constitutional government and human liberties in the U.S. and G7 nations. You need to take this seriously. If the existing plans are implemented for vaccine passports, you will not have to worry about how to manage your assets. It is possible that you may not have any assets. So, this is a topic well worth your attention and action.
If you are not yet practicing #CashFriday (or using cash every day) and talking to your local merchants about using the Silver & Gold Payment Calculator, you will certainly want to start after you learn more.
Please join me for the 2nd Quarter 2021 Wrap Up on CBDCs with John Titus.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I recommend Children of Men, a 2006 movie about a dark future where humanity is facing its own extinction due to fertility issues.
This is the last week of the month, so there is no Money & Markets. You can e-mail your questions for Ask Catherine or post at the Money & Markets commentary here.
Please join me this Thursday, July 26, for the 2nd Quarter 2021 Wrap Up – CBDCs.
Talk to you Thursday!

I have a second question. Yet again, before I knew about solari, I jumped in the bandwagon like many and invested a low amount into crypto through a broker named Gemini. Invested about $70 in Doge coin. When I realized what I had done, I had lost $50 and I wanted to close the account. Problem is I’m trapped. They need my banking information to withdraw the cash and close my account. It appears their third party handling the transaction is a NY bank with ties to Chase so I didn’t want to share my banking account as it will give them access to all my information. Although my account is with Wells Fargo which I am closing this coming week, I thought I could share it, but I have concerns. My mortgage is held by Wells Fargo as well and I do not want to give them access to that account either. What are your thoughts? Should I even try and cash out my $20 or leave it with Gemini?
Someone donated some Bitcoin to me before I even gave permission to do so. I donated it to a charity to get rid of it and the account. I think it was this one or one like it. https://www.rlss.org.uk
I would donate the position to close the account. I would never give them my bank account.
And make sure whatever the tax application of the reporting in your jurisdiction is that you do it properly and keep off line records of all of your transactions.
Before I learned about solari, my neighborhood, an upscale place had a KFC in the shopping plaza. That KFC suddenly closed about 10 years ago and for reasons no one knows. Some years passed, and the vacated building was there. Suddenly, work begins and it’s a new bank. Chase. Mind you, the block already had two other banks, one being Wells Fargo, and the second BB&T now called Truist. It’s shocking to me to see three banks in the same block to support a community so small. About 5 miles from the neighborhood, there’s another Well Fargo and a Credit Union. It’s rather odd to me. Why is there a need for five financial institutions within a five mile radius?
