The Stablecoin Trap: The Backdoor to Total Financial Control
March 25th, 2025Via: Peak Prosperity:
While the debate rages over the future threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), a far more insidious reality has already taken hold: our existing financial system already functions as a digital control grid, monitoring transactions, restricting choices, and enforcing compliance through programmable money.
For over two years, my wife and I have traveled across 22 states warning about the rapid expansion of financial surveillance. What began as research into cryptocurrency crackdowns revealed something far more alarming: the United States already operates under what amounts to a CBDC.
– 92% of all US dollars exist only as entries in databases.
– Your transactions are monitored by government agencies—without warrants.
– Your access to money can be revoked at any time with a keystroke.
The Federal Reserve processes over $4 trillion daily through its Oracle database system, while commercial banks impose programmable restrictions on what you can buy and how you can spend your own money. The IRS, NSA, and Treasury Department collect and analyze financial data without meaningful oversight, weaponizing money as a tool of control. This isn’t speculation—it’s documented reality.
Now, as President Trump’s Executive Order 14178 ostensibly “bans” CBDCs, his administration is quietly advancing stablecoin legislation that would hand digital currency control to the same banking cartel that owns the Federal Reserve. The STABLE Act and GENIUS Act don’t protect financial privacy—they enshrine financial surveillance into law, requiring strict KYC tracking on every transaction.
This isn’t defeating digital tyranny—it’s rebranding it.

I’m not sure what this is referring to.
Suppose cash is no longer in use, just debit cards. The bank can refuse to accept a purchase on your card not just if you don’t have the money in your account, but also if it disapproves of what you’re buying. For instance, if the bank decides you buy more than your fair share of chocolate bars, it will not allow you to pay for more. It will refuse the transaction when you go through the grocery check-out line. Or, it won’t let you spend all the money you deposited because you haven’t paid your electric bill and the bank is paying it for you with your money but without your authorization.
The bank can hit a few buttons and all customers in a certain group can lose the ability to spend on something or anything (like the Canadian truckers), or it can limit each individual customers’ spending in as many ways as it chooses.
It’s sort of like parental controls over their child’s internet use, only it’s for tyrants’ control over their population’s ability to spend or save their own money however they please.
