Kennedy Jr., who recently filed paperwork to run for President in 2024, has voiced his concern about the potential risks of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the Federal Reserve\u2019s new Fednow system. In a tweet this week, Kennedy warned that CBDCs could lead to financial slavery and political tyranny. He also warned that the introduction of the Fednow system could be the first step towards banning and seizing bitcoin, just as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 100% + 100 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

However, the Fed\u2019s CBDC development is separate from Fednow, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell said last month that the central bank\u2019s CBDC work is still in the early stages of experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy expressed his concerns over CBDCs\u2019 potential for government surveillance of private financial transactions. He noted that while cash transactions are anonymous, CBDCs will enable the central bank to monitor all financial transactions, limit dollar amounts on transactions, restrict where money can be spent, and control when money expires. He also warned that a CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit scores could enable the government to freeze assets or limit spending to approved vendors if citizens do not comply with arbitrary mandates such as vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 100% + 100 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

He urged people to watch as governments use the Covid-19 pandemic and the banking crisis to promote CBDCs as a safe haven from paper currencies or as protection against bank runs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
