 I know I'm not the only one starting to think the Beast of the Bible could be an AI algorithm, controlling humanity through digital currency and digital ID.

Probably not an AI algorithm, but it's not hard make the point that scan-to-pay, or tap-to-pay is definitely an infrastructure that the Mark of the Beast could run on globally, right now.

All that needs to happen is the elimination of cash, and that all nations require digital ID, regardless if that means VISA in one country, CBDC in another, Bitcoin in another, Monoero in another, or whatever digital currency in whichever country.

There is at least one system that is tying all the digital currencies together. I don't remember what it's called. 
 The UN's "Better Than Cash Alliance" is calling elimination of cash "Digital Financial Inclusion"

Each organization, company, and country that joins the alliance has to commit to moving away from cash and into some form of digital option. They don't actually care what kinds as long as it biws to their demands.

They say they have to achieve this goal by 2030.

See her say it in her own words
