>A limit of 10,000 pounds would mean that three quarters of people could receive their pay in digital pounds
As opposed to the sack of gold coins I get now??
They’re going to have to sell the idea better than this.
I have no clues why we even *need* such a thing? Employers already pay “electronically” through the bank system and money is money.
Yeah like fuck do I want the government being able to restrict what shops I can spend my money in. Pissing awful idea.
Whoever came up with this should be marched out the door, followed by whoever approved the press release
I don’t understand the difference between this money and what my bank already has.
Does my bank have a requirement to match every pound in its accounts with a real pound? If yes, fine. If no, what’s the difference between what we have now and a “digital” version? It’s all 1’s and 0’s in a spreadsheet.
They’ve run out of way to screw us and are now trying to pull crypto scams on us.
Sorry, but what is a “digital pound”?
Is it some crypto bs?
A Conservatibe heard ‘Crypto bad’ and somehow it translated to this.
“oh fuck we ran out of other peoples money so hard that we need to invent a new currency to deal with it”.
Sorry, I cannot pay you the 400 digital pounds I owe you.
I can only pay you 280 dig-598 digital po-175 digital pounds.
How much is 175 digital pounds? Oh, it’s 1400 real pounds, oh sorry no it’s 2681 real pounds, oh no that doesn’t matter anyway because now I have 3912 digital pounds and 20 cyberpence.

Let’s not become a crypto country, please. I don’t want to get paid in a currency about as stable as John Darwin’s canoe.
What happened to the Treasury and its NFT?
There’s some good cocaine at work somewhere.
So government sponsored company scrip?
We really going full circle aren’t we.
Returning the UK to the traditional Sick Man of Europe Currency Controls.
The only saving grace here is that who would be stupid enough to use the British governments digital currency?
Government deciding what we do with our money, this will end well.
Q: What’s the difference between a ‘conspiracy theory’ and the truth ?
A: About 3 months.
The number of comment saying “what’s different” vs current “electronic money” is worrying.
Not that long ago people were called conspiracy theorists by saying that this is coming.
Now it’s just £20k, tomorrow there will be no cash and everyone’s money (except the rich) will be controlled by WEF.
Our central bank is not independent and is infiltrated by WEF members who are working on enslaving us.
If you can’t hold cash you are no longer free.
Need a general strike if we want to put an end to this nonsense. Enough is enough.
> “At the other end, you could say I need a little wallet full of internet cash to buy things on Amazon,” Cunliffe added.
Right, I lay my cards out on the table here and I know people will disagree with me, I believe that cryptocurrency and blockchain are a big part of the future, I do believe that with web3 developments, self-custodial wallets will be required for digital ownership. I DO NOT agree with monkey pictures and JPEGs, I do agree with using the blockchain to cut down on fraud and stop us from all living in a rent/stream world without owning anything.
But what the ever loving fuck is this senile old man talking about? a wallet full of internet cash to buy things on amazon? I am genuinely hoping that it is a mis-quote.
I don’t understand how this is different from the digital pounds in the wallet called a bank account I don’t think any of us believe someone moves physical money as I spend it in shops, on the tube or any other transaction apart from using an atm once in a blue moon
A centralized digital coin is in no way different to a balance book, which is already how our fiat money works.
What a fucking waste of time
I’m sorry my fellow citizen… you’ve bought too much petrol/meat/dairy this month. I’m going to have to refuse your purchase.
Funny, it’s kind of as if certain people who’ve been painted as mad conspiracy theorists have been warning us about this for decades 🤔
We all need to show the “powers” exactly where they can stick thier digital pound ☝️
This is dangerous and we should absolutely boycott using this surveillance coin. They can piss off. Even my money won’t be my money, guess I’ll “own nothing and be happy”. Like a good little slave…
They’ll want social credit scores next…
I literally have no faith in the British people ever ‘waking up’. We’re fuuuucked.
This post is just above the post about record BP profits. What juxtaposition! Screw the poor until they bleed, but let corporate greed run wild

Fuck off, just fuck off.
Spending caps are only scratching the surface of potential government abuses of cbdcs. These cbdcs will be used in unsavoury ways to the detriment of the public, almost overwhelmingly.
It was conspiracy when the bitcoiners were saying this was going to happen, for years. The lid has barely been lifted and immediately we’re getting wind of throttling control over people’s spending or saving habits.
CBDCs give them the ability to delete your money, not from a companies balance sheet.
Silly question, but if you can only have 20,000 in your account then how are you meant to save for a house?
