On Nov 14 the Human Rights Foundation will launch its CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington, DC

The Tracker will go online for the first time, providing the public with a resource to examine the progress and risks of CBDC implementation worldwide

Like paper dollars or euros, CBDCs are liabilities of central banks

Unlike paper dollars or euros, CBDCs do not offer the privacy protections, neutrality, or finality of cash

Virtually all money today is already digital, but it is typically issued and controlled by private banks and fintech companies, even in dictatorships like China

When consumers use a credit card, spending is at the discretion of the corporation that issued the card

When consumers deposit money into their bank accounts, their funds are liabilities of the bank

CBDCs are an effort to:

1) Replace paper cash with government-issued, government controlled digital credits

2) Reduce the power of private banks

3) Expand state control over the economy

Paper cash doesn’t require identification, can be used by anyone with no discrimination, and cannot be easily tracked

As such, cash is a daily tool of human rights activists, dissidents, and civil society, especially under authoritarian regimes

CBDCs stand to potentially phase out this tool for human rights defenders, making them entirely reliant on currency that is surveilled and easily frozen and censored

Unlike cash, CBDCs can require ID, have expiration dates, be remotely
frozen, and abide by blacklists

HRF believes CBDCs pose a significant threat to human rights work worldwide, especially for people living under tyranny

More than 100 countries are researching CBDCs, while more than 20 have pilots, and a handful of governments have already launched some kind of retail product

Russia, India, the EU, the US, Brazil, and other major governments
have all signaled intent to pursue CBDC projects

HRF considers it important to track these activities and document what risk they pose to human rights

We are pleased to be working with the Bitcoin Policy Institute to launch the CBDC Tracker at the National Press Club in Washington at 10:00am ET on November 14th

We are excited to share the work of the project authors: Nick Anthony, Janine Roem, and Matthew Mezinskis

If you would like to learn more about the project or RSVP to the launch event, please contact nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk

We look forward to sharing the resource with all of you on Nov 14

Alex … please bring some more attention to what’s happening in #Acapulco … it’s a HUGE disaster which is getting little to no coverage (by design) …


Word.

Word.


I’ve been sharing on Twitter. It’s a catastrophe. If you have updates please send, I will share


I'm no longer on twitter at all, what's happening in Acapulco?


I don't know what's happening in #acapulco.
Probably by design as you say nostr:npub1e5lg2tx6teslznawf5j342ttt8dpc2nsyr9tkv9gs3xnmz029hwqknflvf

I beg the attention towards #Gaza though as children are dying at the hands of an oppressive Israelian #apartheid regime.

I'm begging for your voice on this humanitarian catastrophe nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu

nostr:npub1e5lg2tx6teslznawf5j342ttt8dpc2nsyr9tkv9gs3xnmz029hwqknflvf please forgive me for attempting to steal some of the attention. The world seems to be burning everywhere at once.


I am talking about this to every of my friends and family but everybody just ignore and just laugh on it. We live in society full of stupid programmed enslaved people.


Category 5 Hurricane hit Acapulco last week with no warning. In essence, it quite literally erased the city.

As Mexico is distasteful prone, we had a disaster fund for these cases which the gov disappeared because of “corruption”. Disaster hit & now all the resources to rebuild are gone.

As all orders of gov are from the ruling party and there’s elections next year, they are keeping it quiet.

The death toll is in the thousands but they are underreporting them.

Search for Chef José Andrés & World Central Kitchen … he’s there helping out.

It’s run by DollarVigilante over at the bird app.


I’ll look for some accounts with video updates and I’ll share … 🙏🏼


Nice


Thanks, I was able to find out about the hurricane on my own, but not the grift. Unconscionable.

This is basically what happened …

When the ruling party won, they started extinguishing trusts they deemed “corrupt” to reroute those funds into the Tren Maya (which is devastating the Mayan Jungle & acquifers), & Dos Bocas Refinery, two presidential projects being built by the military.

Amongst these trusts was the FONDEN. A relief fund meant for rapid response & emergency reconstruction for disaster areas.

Now that disaster struck, there’s no money & the military & it’s resources are being misused elsewhere.

Our Congress just passed the 2024 budget with $0 allocation to Acapulco.

Since 2024 is an election year, they are underreporting the death toll, pretending everything is fine while there’s definitely a media blackout around it.

It’s astounding that a 1M pop city got erased & it’s not on the news …


Thanks for your work sir!

I put this together to try and reach a few more people. Cheers.
