Nicholas: Once the system is in place you cannot go back. The ID card is an object that identifies you. You have to have it with you at all times. It makes police control much easier. If you can’t establish identity then they can take you to the police station without any other reason. Once they have the ID card in place then they can add other things- like biometric identification e.g. fingerprints. The base is the card and then they add things. The ID card is the beginning of a general file on everyone that regroups all other information they have to identify someone. They can have your whole life in this one file- your health, civil status etc.
idk about crypto being an option for much longer - not in 10 years, I’d think. FIDO Alliance, a NWO/New World Order org, has been working for years to put for a mandatory biometrics/digital ID login each and every time a person uses the internet on phone or PC. There have already been authorities wanting to close down or control crypto. I agree, though, that metal coins will be used to trade: gold, silver, copper, maybe nickel, and not sure what else. They’ll probably be made illegal, too, but will still be used. I think we all need to find ways to work at least 5 to 10 hours off the books - a trade that is easier to hide. And, we need to start slowly to create black markets so that not only the bad guys are running black markets. Parallel societies are a great idea - dealing with mainly with people you know well…kind of like the Amish communities.
