Max Keizer govori na konferenci Labitconf Bitcoin v Salvadorju

Bitcoin evangelist Max Keiser got up on stage today at the Labitconf Bitcoin Conference in El Salvador to chat about the role central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) might play in the monetary future of our society and the associated implications for Bitcoin. The panel, moderated by Bitcoin MagazineNovinar Aaron van Wirdum je bil živi, ​​pretočenih za tiste, ki se konference niso mogli udeležiti osebno.

"CBDC so le poustvarjanje trenutnega sistema fiat denarja, le da ga poslabšajo," je dejal Keizer. »Je popolnoma centraliziran in daje državi večja pooblastila za nadzor. Sposobnost varčevanja denarja bo izginila."

Keiser went on to explain how CBDCs could enable too much power for central banks and governments, ultimately hurting the privacy and freedom of individuals around the world. The Bitcoin bull posed questions as to whether such developments by central banks that create “a digital representation of the fiat currency,” as explained by van Wirdum, are in the people’s best interest.

»Če bi državam bilo mar za ljudi, bi nehali razvrednotiti valuto; ne bi obdržali obrestnih mer na nič; ne bi dovolili prevarantom, da imajo poslovni model, v katerem lahko obdržijo 90 centov od vsakega ukradenega dolarja,« je dodal.

The speaker then articulated how Bitcoin is uniquely positioned to provide citizens with the option to save and spend when and as they see fit, a stark contrast of the possibilities enabled by CBDCs and the monetary policy toolbox available to governments.

“I think of Bitcoin as the new guillotine, and we’re about to enter a new reign of terror,” he added. “But it’s gonna be a quiet reign of terror; instead of decapitating, we’re going to decapitalize them, defund them. Because they love their fiat money, and they’ll print it and bankrupt themselves.”

Keiserjeve pripombe se morda zdijo radikalne in enostranske, vendar se državljani držav z omejenimi možnostmi že danes soočajo s to realnostjo. V "Preverite svoj finančni privilegij,” Human Rights Foundation’s Alex Gladstein tells how people in developing economies are using Bitcoin to protect their savings and bypass a cumbersome financial system that oppresses and sanctions.

By the end of the panel, Keiser changed his tone as he began to speak more about Bitcoin itself and focus on the possibilities enabled by the sound monetary system. He explained how Bitcoin promotes peaceful resistance and encourages a society based on freedom.

"Veliko ljudi bo spoznalo, da nasilje in prisila ne delujeta," je dejal Keizer. "Bomo bolj človeški kot kdajkoli prej, kjer je interakcija povezana z enakostjo, z najtežjim denarjem doslej."

Bitcoin has the potential to embark society onto a more inclusive and equal financial system that does not differentiate between users. The peer-to-peer monetary network resets the predicaments dictating the traditional financial system and replaces them with the ideals of proof-of-work, freedom, and individual sovereignty.

"Satoshi je ljubezen in tja smo namenjeni," je zaključil Keizer.
