Summary
Nick Anthony is a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a fellow at the Human Rights Foundation, and author of Digital Currency or Digital Control? He's back for his quarterly appearance, and honestly, there's no one I trust more to dissect CBDCs, financial privacy, and government overreach. Nick tracks the global CBDC landscape in real time through his CBDC tracker, doing the painstaking work of distilling hundreds of pages of central bank reports, legislation, and speeches into intelligence that the rest of us can actually use. Whether he's working across the aisle in Washington, dissecting stablecoin bills for hidden surveillance hooks, or documenting the moment a sitting Treasury Secretary openly declared his belief in financial surveillance - Nick is on it. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
