Fighting Against the Digital Dollar
On March 9, 2022, President Biden signed a long-awaited Executive Order (titled “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets”) regarding the U.S. government’s strategy for digital assets, defined to include cryptocurrencies and other forms of exchange that are recorded on the blockchain. Citing the need for the federal government to address the role of digital assets in the financial system, the Executive Order represents the first whole-of-government approach towards the digital surveillance of assets both public and private. Under the guise of combating crime, national security, and climate change the path towards a digital dollar only represents the erosion of our individual rights and the breaking of our constitution.
