🚨”In cash we don't know who is using a $100 bill today. We don't know who is using a 1000 peso bill today. A key difference with CBDC is the Central Bank will have absolute control ... & we will have the technology to enforce that." ~ Augustin Carstens

In the movie "The Matrix," Agent Smith didn't need to be everywhere, because anyone could become him. All it took was a threat to the system, and the familiar face in front of you was transformed into the face of control. This dynamic doesn't just belong to Neo's world, but to ours as well. How many times have you had a casual conversation with someone until you touch on a topic that undermines the foundations of constructed reality? Suddenly, you no longer recognize who is in front of you: the tone changes, the mind closes, and without realizing it, that person becomes the defender of the System. No weapons needed, no uniforms needed: the Matrix has trained them since childhood. Indoctrinated to protect the illusion, ready to reject anything that might even awaken a free thought. This is how fiction survives: not because of the masters, but because of the slaves who defend it."
