Writes Bill Madden:

This link takes you to an intelligent discussion of programmable digital money in today’s (4/18/26): www.lewrockwell.com. Without cash as has been planned for years or some other currency like gold and silver coins, our only alternative for spending with a medium of exchange will be the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) or old-fashioned barter.

It’s our country and our Constitution unless we do something soon, we’re going to have an unconstitutional, fiat CBDC forced down our throats. BTW, the Constitution specifies gold and silver.
