The world is moving towards digital currency NOT GOOD
The short version: A mass-surveillance-focused creator warns that the push toward digital currency is another piece of the tracking infrastructure puzzle, and we think it's worth connecting to ALPR networks like Flock.
Our Take
This channel spends its time mapping the broader architecture of surveillance — digital ID, programmable money, and now digital currency — and this video is a reminder that these systems don't exist in isolation. A cashless, centrally-tracked payment system paired with a digital ID doesn't just know what you bought; combined with license plate readers, it can tell where you were when you bought it, how you got there, and who you were likely with. That's the real danger: not any single technology, but how they interlock into a single profile of your life.
We credit the creator for keeping a steady spotlight on these converging trends even when mainstream coverage treats them as separate stories. From where we sit, Flock Safety's camera network is one of the most concrete, physical expressions of that same surveillance logic already operating on your street corner — quietly logging every vehicle that passes, feeding a database that can be queried far beyond its stated purpose.
If a digital currency system and a nationwide ALPR network both end up reporting to the same data brokers or government contractors, the combined picture is total.
